Mrs AWOL describes pyjamas as "garments worn in hotels in case of fire". So, if you're going to be evacuated from a hotel because some tipsy PR girl has set off the fire alarm after one Christmas nightcap too many, what better to be seen in than fluorescent green jim-jams, with retroreflective tape-reinforced seams?
That way, when the fire brigade turns up, they won't mow you down as you stand freezing in the car-park in the wee small hours.

       An excellent idea. A hi-vis bun for you!

       ...and they'll go nicely with your goggles, boots and helmets.

       If you like day-glo orange I know a state-run facility where you can get a set or two.

       Isnt being naked much more visible?

       Also useful for aging types who wander about in their sleep, getting lost and such.

       Are they the ones that do the 'government-sponsored mini- breaks'?

       + The reflective coating also would probably help the firemen find you if you collapse inside while trying to get out.   

       I've never heard of 'pyjamas' as describing fire safety wear, I thought this was going to be some idea for see-through nighties and was wondering why it was so highly rated when already baked :)

       This idea probably stems from the required fire-retardant properties of childrens pajamas.

       They'd go great with your "emergency flotation device pillow" to use in case of floods.

       Ace - straight-talking, common sense pyjamas.   

       First glances initially registered as Hi-res pyjamas - not sure what they'd be used for though, and I'm not sure I like the concept of lo-res pyjamas at all (far too scratchy)
