Sweat soaked jackets wouldn't be too much of a concern if we were wearing flying suits but as it's so hot where we are operating, it's short sleeved cotton T-shirts for everyone and it would only take seconds for someone else's sweat to soak through to skin.
So you fly without a flight suit? T shirt and shorts?
Actualy have found that a flight suit is cooler than a T- shirt and shorts..but that is just my opinion.
Good luck in a fire.
