for those rare times when cabin pressure fails on re-entry and the rest of the vehicle doesn't explode?

soyuz 11.......................goog le it
the suit can handle being in a vacuum but not for longer periods like the actual spacesuits

[Dannu]

It's obviously made with a greater goal in mind than improving the status quo of either being in pressurized space ship or floating in space. Keep in mind, this is all meant to serve the grand goal of colonizing mars, which is likely going to require a suit that's more easy to move around with than in the traditional space suit and doesn't need to be as beefy.

It works in both vacuum and 2 atmospheres of pressure.
