Posted By: drover Flight Suit - 01/14/22
Not really a gun-related item but I found these while going through a box of my Military clothing and thought someone here may want them.

New - never worn Flight Suit. This is the same as the current issue flight suit.

Size - 46 L
100% Aramid (kevlar)
Flame Resistant

Is aramid the same as Kevlar?

Some people ask about the difference between aramid and Kevlar. The answer is, no difference exists. Kevlar® is the trademarked brand name for the aramid fiber made by DuPont™. However, due to it being the first para-aramid developed, its name is synonymous with the term aramid

These are very comfortable, easy to move in and are highly fire resistant.

$50.00 + $10 shipping

that's misleading. however company and fiber names can be interchanged, flight suits are not bullet resistant.

Would that fit someone 6'1" 190lbs?

Thinking for some less hot when welding wear in my shop

I don't know how you got the idea that I was implying it to be bullet proof, that is a leap that you made. If you read this link you may understand that kevlar and aramid are the same - my post was informational since many folks do not realize that they are the same basic material. - https://www.mcrsafety.com/blog/aramid
