You normally wear a Nomex jacket on a commercial flight? It won't melt under a turnout coat, but it's not my first choice for wearing as an outer layer.
well, I would, but that's because I think I look soooooo sexy in a Nomex jacket.
Actual fleece (that is wool) is very difficult to ignite in a flash fire.
ok, there is a BIG difference between wool, and polar fleece (which is what most people are referring to when they speak of fleece). I was assuming you wanted a polar fleece jacket, if you wanted a wool, coat, that's a different coat.
It melts and burns quite quickly. There's a reason why they recommend all natural fibers as clothing choices for commercial passengers.
Well, I don't plan on it as a regular occurrence but on the scene of an aircraft crash even after , you never know when there will be a reignition. Better safe than sorry.
ehhhhhh, by that logic, you should never wear artificial fibers when in a car, because it might catch fire.
So is enduring having melted polyester or nylon debrided from your arms chest and legs after a flash fire.
you should also wear a helmet, because having a head injury following a crash will ruin your day.
I'd prefer not to look like a total tool on scene when even the NTSB doesn't go that far. If you don't have something useful to add or don't know what you're talking about, then kindly refrain from posting.
you were the one who doesn't want to wear poly/cotton. it was a very valid statement from my point of view, since I wasn't sure what you wanted either.
BTW, the odds of you getting burned (and still alive) from an airplane fire is statistically slim. You are being overly paranoid. Remember, you are more likely to be hurt or die in an MVA than a plane incident, doesn't mean you should always wear you helmet or cotton only stuff.
