This is a slight improvement over the rescue bubble manufactured by Belt Industries.
With just 20 minutes of life support the suit meets the Belt's legal minimum for an emergency Vacc Suit.
This suit is a large, tough plastic bag that will keep you alive while you find somewhere safer. Unlike the rescue bubble, this has arms and legs allowing the occupant movement and grants only slightly positive buoyancy. It is uninsulated and gains/loses heat rapidly but generally the air will run out before the occupant radiates all their heat. Most of the weight is the oxygen supply - which comes with no CO2 recycling. It is cumbersome in a vacuum and low pressures. It has no comfort or eating facilities.

The wrapper does state, in small print, that if you are not in fear of losing your life due to atmosphere loss, this is not the suit for you. It is NOT an everyday Vacc-Suit and should not be used for anything except an emergency. Keep away from children except in emergency.
