This is a decision that must be made before you get into the airplane. If it
is hot, it might be cold overnight; if it is cold, you want more than shorts
and sneakers. Same if it is wet. If the terrain enroute is dry, maybe shorts
and sneakers, but not for me. The risk of fire is always present.

A bush pilot once told me that I should always wear clothing that would
allow me to walk home if I had to put the airplane down somewhere. Guess
this guy learned that lesson the hard way.

The answer is... it depends.

Is it hot?
Is it cold?
Is it wet?
Is it dry?
How likely is the risk of fire?

If there is fire, you want to wear cotton.
If there is little risk of fire and it is hot/cold/wet/dry, you want to
wear polyester.

The backpackers mantra is "Cotton kills!"
