History of NOMEX Flight Jackets

The military had a problem with earlier nylon jackets. The material offered no protection against flames and melted onto the pilot during fires. They needed a fire-retardant flight jacket. In 1972, the need produced the CWU, Cold Weather Uniform, in two different weights. The 36/P, summer, and the 45/P, winter, flight jackets. Made of NOMEX fabric, a Dupont product known for its outstanding thermal, chemical & radiation resistance. The NOMEX jacket is still being issued to USAF pilots today. Alpha began supplying the military with the CWU in 1995 and continued to do so for more than five years. Afterward, the Alpha team produced a commercial version of the CWU-45/P for the civilian market in 1998 and a leather version in the late 1990s.
