flight suit

Aviator's protective clothing

A flight suit is a one-piece garment worn by pilots and aircrew, typically made of fire-resistant material.

The design allows freedom of movement while providing pockets for equipment and protection in emergencies.

Military pilots wear flight suits as standard uniform; the olive-drab or tan versions have become iconic images of aviation.
