So Smash, you are saying that you have trouble picking up chicks when
you are wearing your flight suit? Hmm.

this one...a viper dude had his giblets roasted because he wore silk
boxers on a flight that ended poorly, but the rest of his body was
fine. Point is, that it isn't fire *proof*, but it is fire retardant.
Had he been wearing cotton drawers the story would be different.

How about wool in a fire? As I recall, wool was pretty fire resistant.
I'm have found that wool outerwear such as what cyclists wear to be good
under a flight suit. The wool provides better warmth and continues to
provide warmth even if it gets wet. It also does a better job of wicking
away persperation than cotton.

You are right...I was issues wool socks in pilot training to wear with my boots. Most of the time way too hot for a wool bra or undies though!

Yeah, I agree. I always found a wool bra to be just way to scratchy too.
Still, wool is something to consider when flying in the winter.

REAL Pilots don't wear Bras and "undies"! What the hell is this world coming to? I've never had a Split Tail in the cockpit except to scratch my jiblets--gently, of course.
