This flight suit
is made from the world’s first (and only) Nomex® 4-way
stretch-woven fabric – Massif’s own FireFly™ fabric.
This amazing new fabric allows flight crews to operate comfortably
for extended periods of time in cool, cold, and wet weather by allowing for low-bulk layering.
Advantages over conventional Nomex® flight suits include:
Four-way Stretch – for maximum
comfort, minimum crew fatigue, and the ability to layer comfortably
under the flight suit – extending the operational temperature
range
Water-resistant finish – to keep crews
dry in light rain and snow
Breathable – to move
heat and sweat away from the body during high activity
Durable – special weave
and high-tensile yarns resist abrasion
Flame Protection – passes
stringent flame tests at accredited facilities
This flight suit is so comfortable it feels like you’re not
wearing anything! Wear it alone or with our HotJohns and/or Flamestretch™ undergarments
for a comfortable operational temperature range of 0° to
90°F.
