spacesuits
Vacuum survival garments
Spacesuits are pressurized garments that allow humans to survive in the vacuum of space or other hostile environments.
They provide oxygen, regulate temperature, and protect against radiation and micrometeoroids.
Astronauts wear spacesuits during spacewalks and as emergency backup during launch and reentry: The astronaut's spacesuit developed a small leak during the EVA.
