Is it insulated?

No — deliberately. It's the summer-weight CWU-36P style for mild to moderate weather. The insulated version is the CWU-55/P.

What colors?

Black (this one), Navy, and Sage — each its own listing.

Can I add a name tag?

Yes — a Velcro patch field takes personalized name tape, just like active-duty gear.

Nylon Flight · Summer Weight

When the flight suit
is already warm enough.

Not every mission needs insulation. The Fighter Weapons jacket is Cockpit USA's CWU-36P-style summer-weight nylon — the lightweight layer US Navy aviators wear in mild and moderate weather. Tightly woven mil-spec nylon twill over smooth satin lining, a bi-swing back for unrestricted movement, Velcro cargo pockets, the left-sleeve pen pocket, and a Velcro field for name tape. Here in all black — the most subdued of its three colors, with Navy and Sage alongside. Made in the USA.

The Material

Twill and satin.
Nothing extra.

Tightly woven military-spec nylon twill sheds wind and wear; the smooth satin lining slides over anything. No insulation — that's the point.

Disclosed plainly: the shell is not fire-retardant. The FR version stays with the fleet.

Weight is a spec too.

A summer flight jacket earns its keep by what it leaves out. Cockpit keeps the CWU details — bi-swing, cargo pockets, name field — and skips the insulation, so it wears from spring through fall.

What Customers Say

Questions

Before you fly.

Is it insulated?

No — by design. It's the summer-weight CWU-36P style, for mild to moderate temperatures. For winter, Cockpit builds the same silhouette insulated as the CWU-55/P.

Fighter Weapons or the Maverick CWU-36/P?

Same summer-weight family. The Maverick adds the screen-accurate Top Gun patch set; this is the clean version in Black, Navy, or Sage.

Is the shell fire-retardant?

No — disclosed plainly by Cockpit. FR versions are military issue.

Can I personalize it?

Yes — the chest Velcro field takes name tape, exactly like active-duty gear.

How does the sizing run?

Alpha sizes S–5XL — see the Size Guide chart for flat measurements.
