Cotton is slightly more flammable than Nomex. Silk is also very good. For
the past two years, Sportman's Guide had irregular Nomex long underwear on sale in the spring, Will probably be on sale again next year. I ordered two pair. They look like the regular cotton waffle long johns. There are some more expensive sets sold for auto racing. They are much thicker than the waffle variety. "Brian Burger" wrote in message a.tc.ca...
