[Gubru]

Love Nomex. Saved the lives of my friends in the oilsands field.

Man, CAP should let Cadets wear Nomex flight suits for even O-rides if they have it.

[capcadet417]

@sudoLinux666 You can if you have an aeronautical rating such as pre-solo or solo

[Afterburner245]

@sudoLinux666 As a cadet private pilot I am allowed to wear a flight suit on O-rides.

[sudoLinux666]

@Afterburner245 I got flamed for my first and only O-ride, and I had hours, and a student certificate.

[Afterburner245]

@sudoLinux666 Talk to your commander. I had to pester mine quite a bit before I got mine.

[sudoLinux666]

@Afterburner245 Hah, too late for that. But, thanks for the suggestion. Where can I find that reg, anyways?

[tommytryptamine]

nomex ain't that great, PBI better,

Carbon X almost the best,

aluminized rayon fire proximity suits, are THE BEST!!!! as my friend is in the fire service.

[pyrorecipelist]

i am a pyro and i am so saving up for some nomex stuff so i can start doing more interesting things....with chemicals.

[OnRockIT]

The brilliance of organic chemistry.

for the face it could be a good size helmet, then use the same fire proof material to go over the helmet same with hands and feet

[patriotsurplus]

They make Nomex balaclavas that protect the face and of course, you protect the hands with combat gloves or flight gloves which are made of Nomex as well. Also, there are studies that show wearing long johns under the flight suit will increase the protection level by around 90%. Interesting science!

[Afterburner245]

@patriotsurplus Is the extra protection from regular long johns or Nomex long johns?

[sudoLinux666]

@Afterburner245 I suppose normal ones would still become a thermal barrier, though a flame resistant one would be the best.

[mil5606]

Face will be char-broiled tho. Cant have everything.

[fuzzynutsmccrackin]

the only thing is you have to wash them a certain way or they are worthless after the first wash

[CygnusGA]

That might have been true for older fabrics, but the advertising all says NOMEX's properties are inherent to the molecular structure of the fabric, and are fully washable.

[BrettVisionSLR]

Check out CarbonX for far better performance.

[rsanchezga]

I saved my life thank that Nomex Fligth Suit, when i was Soldier artillery in a Military helicopter...thanks NOMEX!!!!!!

[jlebesis]

Impressive! I just bought some Sparco Nomex gloves for Motorsport racing...good to have seen this! hehe Although I hope Im never in a situation where I have about 8 flame throwers surrounding me like here! :p

[lowcostvideos]

That's cool. YOu would be dead, but just that 1 layer suit is SO much better than normal clothes.

But I with they would compare flame retardant cotton with nomex.
