White RAF flying gloves are useful in cold weather and I used to use them. For that matter the RAF cold weather flying jacket is excellent for being comfortable and practical.

I think it wise to avoid nylon and fleece type clothing in flight. I have been on 3 crash scenes for light aircraft in my time. In all three the aircraft doors/frame was distorted and egress hampered. In addition all three had a strong smell of leaking avgas to them in addition to the creaking of a cooling exhaust.

Not too difficult to imagine a scenario whereby you are struggling to open an emergency exit whilst the flames licked around you...

Sunglasses are a very personal thing. Technically I have found the Serrengetti Driver range to be the ultimate. For all round wearability then a pair of straight forward RayBan Aviators are hard to beat. For style I like Police.

The best watch without doubt is the Baby Casio G - Shock available for about £30 everywhere. But allowing for vanity it has to be something bigger and more Swiss...
