As well as the obvious use by pilots, flight suits are worn by many different people and for different applications. They are typically chosen for their convenience, strength, durability, and safety, as well as their uniform appearance. If you are shopping for a flight suit then there are a number of features that you should look for and consider when buying, whether you work in the emergency services, are an avid glider, or require hardwearing industrial clothing for work.
The strength of the flight suit is essentially determined by the material that is used. Nomex is widely considered one of the best quality materials. Not only is it strong and resilient to general use but it is also more flame retardant and fire proof than other materials. This retardant nature is the reason for its use in flight suits and one of the reasons that it is used in many other hazardous situations.
When considering the strength of a flight suit, you should also consider the qualities of the zips, buttons, and any other fastenings. A flight suit will usually contain an absolute minimum of six pockets and you should be able to securely open and close every pocket without fear of the fastening breaking when in use. Whether you’re storing maps or emergency equipment you don’t want to lose them before you need them.
The pockets in a flight suit are convenient and useful. You will usually find two standard placed pockets as well as bellow pockets in the legs. You may also find a knife pocket and even a pen pocket along with breast pockets and even sleeve pockets. Consider the size and placement of these to ensure that you will find them genuinely useful when you next don your flight suit.
The flight suit is a convenient outfit that can be worn by many different people and for a large variety of reasons. You don’t have to be a pilot to benefit from the strength and safety features that are offered by a modern flight suit. Everybody from drivers to gliders and from industrial workers to emergency response teams can and often do wear modern flight suits.
