The [[Heat Suit]] is a skin-tight, head-to-toe covering which providing protection against extreme cold.
 
 
 
A power source drives a network of heating filaments in the fabric. An internal thermostat allows any apparent temperature, negating the effects of low temperatures and wind chill. The suit functions to temperatures as low as -60°. It is not damaged by immersion in water, but will not function while immersed. A battery that runs the heat suit's filaments for 72 hours is 0.5kg and costs Cr40. There is also a larger power pack which lasts for 144 hours which weighs 2kg and costs 500Cr.{{Page cite|citeName=JTAS1}}{{Page cite|name=Imperial Encyclopedia|page=59}}

The [[Thermosuit]] is a lightweight undergarment lined with thermoelectric filaments. When attached to any power supply it heats up or cools down and keeps the wearer comfortable in almost any human habitable environment. The power required depends on the conditions, but ranges from 100 to 1000 watts. At lower TLs where these are available, they are often used in vehicles that do not rate or cannot provide sufficient temperature control, such as race cars. Heat or cold from the thermosuit is routed to heat sinks, which are either placed on the body somewhere, or attached somewhere where they can receive a cooling or warming air flow.{{Page cite|name=Central Supply Catalog|page=13,21}}

An Atmospheric Survival Suit allow survival in hostile environments where unprotected lifeforms would otherwise perish, outside of the comfortable norms of climate. Specifically these suits assist in survival on worlds that are otherwise habitable, but in part of the worlds that not.

These suits are not designed for operation in thin or tainted atmospheres, though adding a respirator or filter mask is an option.

They can be upgraded using Cloth Armor or similar protections. The suits do not incorporate any specific protections against weapons or attacks, but may provide minimal protections due to their bulk or construction.
