Funny you should mention that. The SEALs (frogmen/frogs-holdover from UDT days) travel from Coronado (San Diego) north to Paris CA to train in one of these 'blenders' getting them ready for free fall parachuting. They spend the $ to rent the 'blender' and burn the time training in it-so they must feel it has 'value'....
I have it on good authority that it is not as easy as this video makes it look. These guys are SKILLED.

Humor may not make the world go around, but it certainly cheers up the process... :)
With clothing, the opposite of NOMEX is polypro (polypropylene cloth and fleece).
