The protective suit is sealed, air-conditioned, and has its own air supply (good for six hours). The suit has no water supply of its own, nor will it protect the wearer once the air supply gives out, but so long as it works, the wearer will not suffer the ill effects of the outside environment, specifically a toxic atmosphere.

The filter suit is a lightweight, permeable overall worn over other clothing and cinched down with disposable adhesive straps. Its sole purpose it to protect the wearer from toxic airborne chemicals (usually military incapacitation agents that could be absorbed through the skin) for a limited time. Normally worn in combination with a compatible [[respirator]], the suit porous enough to prevent excessive body heat build up, eliminating the need for cumbersome life support system. The limitations are less-than-100% effectiveness and short useful lifespan.

Designed to provide temporary protection from [[Insidious Atmosphere]]s or chemicals. A small battery and chemical cartridge combination provides atmosphere filtering and a slight positive pressure within the suit to prevent entry of harmful chemical compounds. The suit was originally rated to provide 24 hours of protection in the filtering mode and 6 hours in a full recirculation mode, and additional filter packs can be added for additional duration. Provision is made for fluid intake and output without compromising suit integrity.

The body pressure suit is light and comfortable to work in for short periods of time under mildly hostile atmospheric conditions. It can be worn under clothes but is of no benefit in pressures less than 0.43 [[Atmospheric pressure|atm]] (thin atmosphere) without the vacuum belt. The suit protects against temperatures +250&deg; C to -240&deg; C and pressures up to 2.5 atm.
