Who could forget Top gun and the flight suit that started it all? The movie made military flight suits popular, which is an amazing feat considering a flight suit is specialty clothing made of poly/cotton blends or synthetics. Flight suits are the uniforms of law enforcement pilots, EMS pilots and military pilots. The coverall flight suit comes with a number of zippers and pockets and can be short sleeve or long sleeve. It is available in a poly/cotton blend.

Many pilots prefer the Nomex flight suit, a synthetic material by DuPont that was made especially for cold weather flying. The flame retardant material is also the number one choice for flight jackets. Nomex flight suits are chosen more often by pilots because the material beats out the poly/cotton blend, which seems to be too light for flying.

Since people come in a number of shapes and sizes, flight suits can be customized to fit a man or a woman in a material of choice. While some prefer to have a many pockets and zippers, some only need a few. While some need a suit with longer legs some may need a suit with shorter sleeves. It is imperative that the flight suit fit well so that the pilot not be hindered while doing their job.

A flight suit for children is also available made of a poly/cotton twill blend so the material will be comfortable against young skin. A kid’s flight suit is sure to fire up their imaginations and get them flying off to parts unknown. A little flight suit with a name tag makes it even more authentic. All that’s left before liftoff is choosing a flight name. The suit and tag makes kids feel it’s all for real.

To really go above and beyond, a Blue Angels kid’s flight suit in Royal Blue comes with an American flag on the left sleeve and a Top Gun badge and naval aviator wings. It comes in the same ploy/cotton blend and has an elastic waist for comfort. A flight suit with nametags and a military black leather jacket with some sunglasses are all that’s needed!

There will be no need for plane tickets with a Blue Angels flight suit. Just so adults won’t feel left out, there’s a Royal blue flight suit with their name on it. This flight suit has name patches. Just like the child’s version, the flight suit comes with zippers, a place for pens and an elastic waist. Matching flight suits can be a great idea for family fun and playtime.
