flightsuit

Aviator's one-piece

A flightsuit 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 flightsuits are usually olive drab or tan; civilian versions vary.

The garment has become iconic in aviation imagery: She zipped up her flightsuit before the preflight briefing.
