Clothing
Warmth is obviously critical, but the pilots also need to be as flexible and nimble as possible. The very latest Ozee flying suits will be worn over The North Face down suits, which in turn will be worn over Polartec all-in-one thermals. The pilots will also wear contact gloves (plus lap mittens), insulated boots, a balaclava and full-face visored helmet.
