Light Pressure Suit

About the Light Pressure Suit

A light pressure suit is survival gear first and armor second, a sealed garment that keeps its wearer alive in thin atmospheres, vacuum, and the airless holds and hull-walks that fill a spacer's life. Woven with reinforced layers and fitted with a compact life-support pack, it maintains pressure and feeds air while offering enough rigidity to double as protection when the vacuum work turns violent. Dockworkers, EVA techs, and ship crews wear them for the everyday hazards of working outside a hull, and the plating that keeps micrometeorites and sharp edges out also blunts a blaster bolt or a blade in a pinch. It sits in the medium range, trading some flexibility for its sealed integrity. No one buys one to fight, but in the cold dark where a suit breach means death, its double duty as armor is a welcome bonus.
