The Nomex coats are very warm to wear.
Workrite, however, has produced a very nice Nomex coat sized & shaped for women.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Use of fire resistant lab coat
A question I'm wondering about as we as a professional community consider the aftermath of the UCLA lab fire and its legal follow up is whether there is a reason beyond finances to not use fire resistant lab coats in the lab setting. I recognize that both the initial and maintenance costs associated with fire resistant coats are significantly higher than alternatives, but I wonder if there are other disadvantages associated with their use.
Thanks for any information about this.
