Hey, does anyone know where I could get a set of Proban underwear (or other non-Nomex underwear material that doesn't melt and stick to your skin when exposed to flame)?
 
If the fire gets thru the suit it will melt most synthetics faster than cotton so I'm told. Nomex is used by the majority of pro racers and the military has used it for some time for certain garments. Keep in mind that the suit is designed to protect you for a fairly short time-which should be enough to get away from a fire.

Proban is a treated cotton that chars when it is exposed to flame, so it seems like a better choice than Nomex which melts and sticks to your skin.
