JOINT SERVICE LIGHTWEIGHT INTEGRATED SUIT TECHNOLOGY

Consists of an overgarment to be worn over a standard Battle Dress Uniform and Multipurpose Rain/Snow Overboot. Not exactly a fashion statement but it allows heat to be managed effectively while tailoring the protection levels relative to mission scenarios and threat.

SELF-CONTAINED TOXIC ENVIRONMENT PROTECTIVE OUTFIT (STEPO)

This really cool looking spacesuit is one of the most effective protective garments around. If you wear it, the manufacturers claim that you'll be protected against chemical and biological agents as well as rocket fuel, industrial chemicals and soup stains. It provides an amazing four hours of self contained breathing and cooling and those cost conscious military commanders will be glad to know that it can be decontaminated for reuse after five vapor exposures.

Good value for money. What I would really like to see next is perhaps some kind of portable waste disposal system because I'm pretty sure it's an inconvenience to have to take off the whole thing to use the toilet.
