I would echo Easy Street's sentiments about trying to impersonate ground-pounders in an E & E scenario. In any case, if the Taliban did get their mitts on you, your sartorial choices would be forcibly rendered moot with the orange boiler suit you'd be sporting on your YouTube debut.......
Personally I'd prefer to wear kit that's optimised for flying and, come the worst, surviving the crash..... and carry sufficient personal weapons and ammunition to brass the feckers up until the cavalry arrives!
