We wore NOMEX, but I doubt cotton would provide much protection.

I think by "protection" he meant it won't instantly melt to your skin. It
all depends on the amount of heat. With layered cotton, you can burn the
outer layers without burning your skin (for a short period). At high enough
temps, of course, it becomes a moot point.

Given that the RJ guys all wear polyester suits, seems like they're
screwed.

Yep.
