In armor units we could not wear polypropylene garments for this very
reason.

We wore NOMEX, but I doubt cotton would provide much protection.

Cotton doesn't give any protection, but it doesn't do as much harm as
polyester.

But, the pilot referenced in the original post should have been wearing a
UNIFORM!!!!!!

He could have used the gold braid to lash up some snow shoes from pine
boughs. Plus, he would have looked much more professional when the rescue
crew picked him up!!!!
