pilot#476398 Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 If you buy a flight suit that states its made of "meta aramid" and "para aramid", is it the same quality of flame resistance as one that states its made from the trademarked names of NOMEX and Kevlar?
pilot#476398 Posted May 17, 2013 Author Posted May 17, 2013 Yes I know, but from what I read Nomex is the brand name for Dupont's meta aramid. So basically I was wondering if its worth paying 50 bucks more for that Nomex name, or are the other brands just as good?
Counterrotate Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 There is really not much of a difference. The quality is a little better. Is it $50 better? I don't think so, but maybe you will. It's your money.
