Luke Skywalker pilot

Flight suits, also spelled as flightsuits or otherwise known as jumpsuits, were a type of outfit worn by pilots. They were worn in junction with flight helmets.[1] Due to the dangerous nature of some piloting occupations, some starfighter pilots wore EVA suits.[2] They came in different colors such as blue,[3] green, and red.

Rebel Alliance[]

Pilots for the Rebel Alliance mostly wore orange flight suits, although other colors did exist. The suits were pressurized and equipped with a Flak vest and Novaldex life support unit. The suits had multiple pockets for storing tools and emergency equipment. A pocket on the sleeve allowed a pilot to carry several data cylinders. A datapad was stored on the wrist of the wearer. The suits were worn with insulated gloves and boots. An armored flak vest was worn over the flight suit to provide more protection for the pilot.[4]

New Republic[]

Pilots of the New Republic Starfighter Corps wore flight suits similar[5] to those of the Rebellion.[3] They came in colors like orange[5] and blue.[6]

Resistance[]

Resistance pilots wore updated flight suits that often bore the Rebel Alliance starbird. The suits were colored "interstellar orange." They were equipped with a FreiTek life support system. The flak vest was inflatable and more protective than the older models. Like the older models, the Resistance flight suit was outfitted with multiple pockets.[4]

Empire[]

TIE pilots wore black pressurized flight suits that provided them life support due to their ships not being equipped with life-support systems. They were insulated and had hoses and filters that connected to their helmet.[7]

First Order[]

Although First Order TIE fighters were equipped with life support, the pilots still wore insulated and pressurized flight suits that were colored black.[7] Special Forces pilots wore variants of the flight suits that had a red stripe on them[8]; while TIE/ba Baron pilots such as Elrik Vonreg or "Holo"[9] wore custom, crimson-colored flight suits.
