Soaring uniforms

^  Ok thanks, now I know some of the correct terminology.  I say since the regs say there are uniforms for powered aircraft, lets get a sentence that says what type, color, style shorts and T-shirt needs to be worn while in a glider.

Hmm, seems to me that anytime you have to land the glider someplace other than an actual landing field it is an emergency situation even if it might not actually be a "crash" landing. 

Just because a powered airplane can safely land on a highway, when it is forced to do it because of a lack of fuel or some other situation, it is an emergency. 

No.  A land-out is so routine on cross country flights that most glider pilots have a recovery team follow them.  I lucked out and made it to an airport, and was able to have the towplane come and get me.  Many $$, but I didn't have to sweat like a $2 hooker on payday night  trying to take the glider apart and loading it on a trailer.
