Just about to purchase a 42L Nomex Flightsuit from an eBay seller. The auction says it’s Tan colour, but the photo looks darker. Waddya reckon, think I should go for it? Only $46 + shipping to the UK. Seems like a good price to me…

I got a 42R Tan from the same seller, it came here very quick (he shipped through USPS priority, UK would take longer of course.

Nomex only come in two colours, Desert Tan and Sage Green. The one in the auction is the correct colour.

I agree with Martog. I purchased a 38R from that seller as well, and it seems to be the correct color according to my research on this site. Even though the size I bought ended up being borderline too small (totally my fault. had to get a 40L from another seller, doh!), it’s still a quality suit!

The seller also had the best customer service I’ve experienced on ebay in quite a while, emailing me every step of the way.

Cheers, guys! I’ve taken the plunge and bought the suit. Fingers crossed it fits now. Thanks for the advice!
