Flight Suits FAQs

Who can wear a flight suit?

Pilots of military and civilian airplanes, helicopters, and even gliders typically wear flight Suits or flyers coveralls. Flight suits are also often worn by ground personnel, including aircrews, particularly where the potential for a fire exists. In the United States Air Force (USAF), pilots, navigators, combat systems officers, drone / RPA crews, and missile crews may all wear Air Force Tan or Freedom Sage colored flight suits. Air medical teams and private ambulance services often wear black flight suits. 2 Piece flight suits are becoming more common, particularly with the US Army, as the A2CU or Army Aircrew Combat uniform being converted to OCP camouflage in recent years.

How is a flight suit made?

The most common military spec flight suits are made from a 4.5 oz / square yard plain weave fire resistant (FR) material commonly known as Nomex. Nomex is the branded name for an inherently FR Aramid/Para-Aramid/Conductive Fiber blended material. This material won’t melt, drip, or support combustion. Flight suits also use Nomex in their fastners such as zipper tapes and hook and loop. Even the thread sewn in a mil-spec flight suit is made of Nomex.

How much does a flight suit cost?

Inherently FR Aramid fabric is much more expensive than typical fabrics used in consumer clothing. Because of this and the complexity of the garment’s construction, it is typical that a mil-spec, Nomex flight suit will cost well over $150 dollars. Be careful of anything priced lower, it likely will be made of non-FR materials that will not protect a user in a fire event. These are great for costumes but not for the workplace.
