The underwear and the goggles are electrically heated. The underwear is worn over an external catheter; urine is directed, via heated tubes down one leg and out through an opening in the sole of one of the boots.
These suits are guaranteed to keep a person alive, if not comfortable, in temperatures of -100C. Some users have reported using these suits at lower temperatures, but these reports have not been verified.
The battery in very cold weather clothing is usually powered by a body generator, which is incorporated into the suit.
