Exclamation Flightsuits and Helicopters

I don't know if this topic has been tortured to death previously, but i just wanted to find out what the views on this forum were regarding wearing Nomex flight suit vs cotton flight suit vs white shirt and trousers (probably polyester).

I can see that just like wearing a helmet it would be a safety feature to have the Nomex Flightsuit, but i understand there are pilots that wear the cotton versions, which in my opinion takes away the safety aspect of wearing it.

I guess the simplest arguement against wearing the flight suit vs the white shirt in a VIP enviroment, would be that you would scare the daylights out of your pax. They would probably wonder if you wore a flightsuit and helmet and where was their protection?

I wanted to do a poll, but alas being the blondie i am i can't find the feature that allows me to do this.

Regards
