      Invisible Men exhibition label:

      US NAVY CFN-24 HEATED FLIGHT SUIT
      Colvinex
      1939-1945

      Made from goatskin, the CFN-24 flight suit is electrically heated, using a 24-volt system. It was designed for pilots who flew missions above 25,000 feet in aircraft without pressurised or heated cabins. The cold at that altitude is so low that exposed skin can freeze to metal.
