Flight Suits: USN/USMC G-8 (Wep) Nylon Flight Jacket

The Navy designed the G-8 (WEP) as a survival suit (poopy suit) liner, but Naval Aviators wore it as a jacket from its introduction in the 1950’s until it was discontinued in the 1980’s. The unique pullout action back and sleeves made it extremely comfortable in cramped cockpits and in the ready room. Now that the Navy no longer issues it, active-duty Navy and Marine Corps aviators purchase them directly from us. Made from 100% nylon oxford, it has a pure cotton and a warm ThinsulateŽ inner lining. This is the only G8 (Wep) jacket in the world made with the original deep-cut knit cuffs and special bi-swing back. It has two cargo chest pockets, a pencil pocket, and a sleeve pocket. The storm flap behind the solid brass front zipper keeps the cold wind out. Color - Olive Green, Black, Khaki, Navy Blue
