What is a Nomex flight suit?

A Nomex flight suit is a type of flight suit that is made with flame-resistant Nomex fabric. It is designed to meet the military specifications for flight crews in the United States Air Force (USAF). The fabric used in these flight suits is lightweight and compliant with NIR (Near Infrared) standards, meaning it is resistant to fading. 

The Nomex fabric is made with Nomex brand fiber, which is known for its flame-resistant properties. This helps to protect the wearer in extreme conditions where there may be a risk of fire or flames. The flight suit is designed to ensure that users can perform to their fullest potential even in the most challenging and dangerous environments.
