Any space suit or environment suit, but especially one worn by a woman, will be exceptionally tight, form-fitting, and flatteringly cut. Also applies to pilots' g-suits (which admittedly are tight, but not flattering), Powered Armor, and futuristic military uniforms. The wearer will have no difficulty putting it on quickly. Helmets will often be either clear bubbles or be motorcycle-like helmets that follow head movement, with large transparent and nonreflective faceplates. Spacesuits in use today are bulky and inflexible, with many layers to contain pressure, protect against puncture from fast-moving space junk with ballistic fibers, protect against changes in temperature, shield the wearer from the glare of a sun undimmed by atmosphere, and dispose of excess body heat, excretions and moisture. Astronauts accessorize with the extremely unsexy (for most), yet practical, adult diaper. Because existing spacesuit designs have so many drawbacks, and are so expensive (each custom-fitted suit costs over a million dollars and can only be constructed by subsidised industries), there are a number of (similarly subsidised) research projects trying to make skin-tight spacesuits Truth in Television. The proponents of the mechanical counterpressure (MCP) suit claim that they could be built by wet-suit manufacturers at a cost of only a few hundred dollars. They also suggest that these flexible skintight suits would permit the occupant to regulate body temperature simply by sweating, and that while they might not be terribly protective, armor is less of an issue when it doesn't have to be pressurized — Bulletproof Vests can be worn over the suits.note That does introduce a new problem, namely that anything worn over the suit will make it harder to find and patch any leaks. On the other hand, a small leak in such a suit will generally cause a frostbitten hickey, rather than rapid death. So far, however, practical spacesuits based on MCP suit technology have yet to be tested in space,note although the original Space Activity Suit was successfully tested in a vacuum chamber, so currently they remain Vapor Wear — erm, sorry, Vaporware. The Latex Spacesuit is essentially a way to be semi-Stripperific and display the chest without actually showing skin. A lot of the time it will be sheer enough to see the navel through. It is a very frequent trope in Humongous Mecha shows. See also Space Clothes, Green-Skinned Space Babe, Bridge Bunnies, Spy Catsuit, Chrome Champion, Space Mask, and Future Spandex. Compare its 19th-century counterpart, the Adventurer Outfit. |

Kamen Rider Fourze's suit evokes this look. Not only that, but it was originally developed with the purpose of allowing prolonged survival in space, in order to reach the Presenters. Averted with everyone else's normal space suits, having the bulky real-life look. And then there's the Kamen Rider Nadeshiko costume... | |

Advice and Trust: Shinji and Asuka get quite sick of them when they're detained, since they spend two whole days wearing their liquid-drenched, sweaty plugsuits. When Gendo fires them, he sends them off without even giving them time to change clothes, and they spend the whole way back to Misato's apartment wondering what to do with the suits they're not supposed to bring out of the base or where to store them. | |

In The Girl Who Leapt Through Space, not only are the spacesuits skintight, they are also mostly transparent. Justified, as none of the main characters are entirely human, can take a lot more punishment than a mere lack of pressure, and some don't really need to breathe anyway. If you're a QT-X, clothing is merely a fashion statement. Also, technology has advanced far enough that such outfits are viable protection against vacuum. | |

In Honor Harrington, modern spacesuits (called "skinsuits") are form-fitting and rely on the body's own temperature regulation system, but older, less advanced spacefaring societies (like Grayson, pre-Alliance) still have conventional "bulky" spacesuits akin to those of the real world. Such suits are also available as emergency gear aboard some ships, as the skinsuits require specific fitting to accommodate individual users, so that the suit can keep the user's insides inside. Skinsuits are also somewhat armored, but their main goal is emergency protection in case of a hull depressurization, which happens quite often. Space Marines, when not wearing Powered Armor, use a somewhat heavier armored version that even includes muscle fibers and is proof at least against small arms fire. Engineering personnel, on the other hand, often prefer bulkier suits, just short of a demilitarized Powered Armor, for increased mechanical protection. For more hostile situations, the skinsuits can be augmented with additional body armor, most commonly a hardened "clamshell" armor which is essentally a military sci-fi version of a ballistic vest. It's no substitute for Powered Armor, but far more survivable than the skinsuit alone. |

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty has the Skull Suit. Despite the fact that it feels like you're wearing nothing at all, and the fact that Raiden only wears the helmet for five minutes of dialogue at the beginning of the game, it manages to enhance his muscles, provide a small amount of environmental protection and applies varying levels of pressure to internal organs in order to increase combat efficiency. According to Vamp, whose bullet-dodging is based on his trained senses allowing him to predict when people are going to shoot before they do it, the suit's pressure muddles the visual signal he gets, making his fight with Raiden potentially 'interesting'. | |

In Space Station 13, the basic space suit looks like this (or a traditional space suit; it's hard to tell with the game's stylized visuals) and offers very little protection. Some departments are provided with hardsuits, which are bulkier and give protection against physical trauma, burns, biohazards, and radiation. Neither of them will provide any life support functions without helmets; in previous versions, they also required an oxygen mask underneath the helmet to operate. | |

The Night's Dawn Trilogy includes spacesuits that are made of programmable silicon or somesuch — they're packaged as a black blob until activated, at which point they spread over the body of the user, tightly enough to avoid decompression in hard vacuum. | |

For the most part, Front Mission lacks latex space suits: most pilots either wear fatigues, or flightsuits similar to those worn by helicopter crews. Exceptions are the Durandal team (Front Mission 4) and the protagonists of Front Mission Evolved, though these suits, while form-fitting, are still thickish, resembling racing coveralls. | |

Crest of the Stars and its sequels have both the skin-tight version (worn by pilots), and the bulky version (used by mechanics, workers and damage control crews). Abh's (that is, officers') uniforms double as enviro-suits in emergency only and aren't designed to function like that for extended periods of time, as in battle they sit on the bridge that is the most protected area of the ship. Rates, who work in more dangerous parts more often, routinely wear full-on spacesuits; so the brass simply don't bother with making their uniforms space-proof. | |

The use of these in the pilots' plugsuits is extensively lampshaded on in Neon Genesis Evangelion fanworks. Advice and Trust: Shinji and Asuka get quite sick of them when they're detained, since they spend two whole days wearing their liquid-drenched, sweaty plugsuits. When Gendo fires them, he sends them off without even giving them time to change clothes, and they spend the whole way back to Misato's apartment wondering what to do with the suits they're not supposed to bring out of the base or where to store them. Subverted in Children of an Elder God, where they look nice and are actually comfortable. A Crown of Stars: When Shinji and Asuka ride their newest mecha, they wear a different skintight uniform. Doing It Right This Time: Shinji really, really does not like them: Evangelion 303: The Eva pilots do not wear anything more for protection since the whole crew compartment is supposed to eject in case of emergencies. In Going Another Way, the pilots frequently note the fact that the plugsuits are rather revealing and wonder who would put that onto a teenager (Ritsuko). Shinji is embarrassed at first, Toji is not too happy either and Hikari even forces the R&D department to make alterations so it's less revealing. It's telling that even Yui — years earlier — felt almost naked in a prototype. Asuka later refuses to do a test with a suit that is almost transparent. HERZ: After twelve years the Children still wear their plugsuits when they undergo a synch test or pilot their Evas. Kurumi stole Asuka's in a scene as part of a hopeless plan to try to snatch Shinji. Last Child of Krypton: Aside from their regular suits, there's a special partial new model, prepared for when a pilot has a limb bandaged or in a cast. It has to be cinched into place manually. Rei wears it in the first chapter. After finding out that she was an Amazon, Asuka modifies her plug-suit so that it resembles Wonder Woman's outfit. In Neon Genesis Evangelion: Genocide, Asuka once considered her suit a symbol of her special status, but now she regards it as a bitter reminder of her failure. In Nobody Dies, Shinji finds his plugsuit rather embarrassing to wear because it's so skintight he feels like he's flashing everyone when he walks around in it. In a later chapter Mana voices the same issue and Shinji mentions that he decided (off-screen) to just keep his boxers on while he wears the suit. Once More With Feeling (Crazy-88): In a scene, Shinji comments that they keep his body perfectly dry, but he always gets his face and hair filthy since his plugsuit lacks a helmet. The One I Love Is...: In this story there are two standard models: one for males and another for females. However, Asuka's plugsuit is different from Rei's because Asuka is the first production model's pilot and her plugsuit's design is the standard one. In the chapter "Repeat" of The Second Try, Shinji and Asuka wear their plugsuits for first time in years. Strategic Cyborg Evangelion: Despite taking place in an AU where the Evas are treated more like Real Robots, the fact that plugsuit designs remain unchanged is not lost on Asuka. In Thousand Shinji, Shinji finds the plugsuits embarrassing and cumbersome. |

Space Battleship Yamato from 1972 is one of the earliest appearances in anime of this trope. Nurse Yuki Mori, the only recurring female character, provides continuous Fanservice and is very fetching indeed in a yellow space suit that leaves so little to the imagination that it's hard to imagine it providing any protection against a stiff breeze, much less the vacuum of space. | |

Kree and Skrull uniforms are skintight. The Kree uniform is white, with a secondary color and a planet icon on the chest indicating rank (e.g., green and a single-ringed planet for captain). Skrull uniforms are purple and black with a zigzag-edged collar piece. Shi'ar outfits are a little more varied, but they're still usually skin-tight — especially the Shi'ar uniforms that take their cue from Star Trek! Actually, most Marvel aliens wear skin-tight outfits, except for the more old-school ones like Fin Fang Foom who just wear Space Boxer Shorts. | |

In Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel, space/environmental suits are worn on several occasions. Despite the games being set a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away and being rife with other space tropes, the suits look very much like current-day space suits. Actually, they look even clunkier than current-day space suits, which is interesting for a world of unending Applied Phlebotinum. This is because it's a space recolor of the yellow underwater suit. The latter is used several hundred meters underwater, hence the bulkiness. | |

Science Ninja Team Gatchaman: Together with Mazinger Z, this is one of the earliest anime examples (both shows are from 1972). The tight, differently colored skinsuits of the Gatchaman Five-Man Band are very iconic. G-3's minidress in the original three series is an aversion and contrast to the guys' skin-tight suits, following different fanservicey tropes instead. | |

Mazinger Z: Unsurprisingly, one of the earliest examples (but not the first one, for once). Kouji begins to wear a Latex Space Suit in the third episode, and Sayaka always wears one while piloting Aphrodite A. Sayaka's is one-piece and tighter than Kouji's, though. Justified Trope <=> Unbuilt Trope: Kouji does not wear one in the first chapters, and often gets badly hurt, bruised or wounded, so a skinsuit is made for him in order to protect his body. | |

Muv-Luv: The pilot suits worn by TSF pilot cadets are skintight and seemingly designed to show off the body, including some parts that are basically Nude-Colored Clothes. The first time the main group dresses in them, they are all horribly embarrassed by it. In Alternative, it is explained that the design is intentional: the cadets' suits in particular are designed that way deliberately in order to remove the pilot's sense of modesty and shame, since out in the field co-ed units are the norm and men and women are expected to share sleeping space and showers. The suits issued to actual commissioned pilots are still skintight, but somewhat more modestly colored and not quite so fanservicey. | |

Schlock Mercenary has the original uniforms worn by Tagon's Toughs and others, which is also low-profile Powered Armor. General Karl Tagon during the call to his son implies that these "carbonan crotch-huggers" were made after the standard issue uniform in human armed forces... and explains why this "armored underwear" is used there. Star Trek fans will of course have already noted the startling similarity to the Next Gen. uniforms. | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion has the sexy pilot suits variant. Played with a bit in the original series episode "Asuka Strikes!" when, in an emergency, Shinji has to wear the female variant of the suit (Asuka's spare suit, to be precise). While male variants are also more or less skin-tight, the female version is tighter in the crotch and has vague sculpted breast elements and a curvier hip/waist ratio. It is notably subverted in the episode "Magma Diver", in which Asuka has to wear a special plugsuit that swells like a balloon. Lampshaded, too, as she complains about how unsexy it is. Rebuild of Evangelion has Asuka donning a special plugsuit that has a translucent torso. She finds it a bit much. |

In Nobody Dies, Shinji finds his plugsuit rather embarrassing to wear because it's so skintight he feels like he's flashing everyone when he walks around in it. In a later chapter Mana voices the same issue and Shinji mentions that he decided (off-screen) to just keep his boxers on while he wears the suit. | |

The space suits worn by Picard et. al in Star Trek: First Contact look like somewhat sleeker versions of modern NASA suits. They're still pretty bulky, though they seem to offer a greater degree of movement, to judge by the scene where they get in a fight with the Borg outside the ship. | |

Marvel Universe: Kree and Skrull uniforms are skintight. The Kree uniform is white, with a secondary color and a planet icon on the chest indicating rank (e.g., green and a single-ringed planet for captain). Skrull uniforms are purple and black with a zigzag-edged collar piece. Shi'ar outfits are a little more varied, but they're still usually skin-tight — especially the Shi'ar uniforms that take their cue from Star Trek! Actually, most Marvel aliens wear skin-tight outfits, except for the more old-school ones like Fin Fang Foom who just wear Space Boxer Shorts. All-New Wolverine #5 features a "Fantastic Voyage" Plot in which Wolverine and The Wasp must enter the blood of one of Laura's clones, to destroy nanomachines that are slowly killing her. Laura's suit, a variation on the Ant-Man suit, is supposed to both protect her from the environment and make it possible for her to shrink down in the first place. It's also skin-tight with the classic bubble helmet. Ditto for Jan's, which is basically her regular (also skin-tight) costume. Somehow, the fact Laura using her claws causes tears in the gloves and boots does nothing to compromise the suit... Avengers Academy: Hazmat wears a skin-tight environmental suit to protect everyone else from her toxicity. The Fantastic Four's suits are totally sealed and made of nearly indestructible Unstable Molecules. All they need are helmets and pressurization packs. |

In Macross Frontier, the SMS pilots wear form-fitting suits that are little more than longjohns with bulky shoulderpads, and a helmet. Although these are designed to interface with the exoskeleton control units in the cockpit,note The ejection seat and controls turn into a Powered Armor exoskeleton when the pilot ejects, though the passenger doesn't get this it's extremely jarring when they're forced to eject and float around in space during a nuclear exchange. | |

The series as a whole shows an evolution of spacesuits towards this if we're looking at in-universe chronology: Macross Zero (2008) — normal modern piloting g-suits. Super Dimension Fortress Macross (2009) — not exactly bulky, but still somewhat baggy suits. Macross Plus (2040) — leaner and slimmer version of the previous version. Macross 7 (2045) — essentially the same as in Plus. Frontier (2059) and Macross Delta (2067) — glorified bodygloves. They are quite consistent there. |

Council Wars: In East of the Sun, and West of the Moon, these suits are justified as being necessary for proper heat exchange, not to mention the importance of leaving no space for trapped air to inflate the suit in the low atmospheric pressures of space, rendering the suit too stiff to move. In this case, the suits are so skintight that the wearers have to prepare themselves with a depilatory cream to remove all of the hair from their bodies, with the suits being made with molds made of the wearers' bodies. | |

Subverted in Farscape, so much so that you have no idea (unless you've seen the show's opening credits) that Crichton's fellow prisoner, in a bulky black spacesuit and a smoked-glass bubble helmet, is a slenderly fit and very attractive woman. Later seasons replaced the bulky suits with a more streamlined suit. | |

As Homer Simpson observes in the page quote, the cast of Fantastic Voyage get to wear skintight diving suits.

In the X-Wing Series, the rebel pilots complain about having to change into sleek dress uniforms for a formal occasion, since they like the extra pockets in their flightsuits, as well as the baggier clothing — as fighter pilots, they can be a bit sensitive about the weight gain that can result from spending hours sitting in a cockpit. The above stated survival time for a Rebel pilot can change depending on the species of the pilot. That a Gamorrean can last quite a bit longer due to his extra fat is a plot point. | |

The various combat suits in Mass Effect, also known as hardsuits, are relatively form-fitting but can function in a vacuum. That being said, they do not provide significant protection against extreme temperatures, extreme pressure, or highly corrosive environments, unless you use models specifically designed for that purpose. Otherwise, the suits actually do look functional and realistic, being covered in plates of ceramic armor, compared with other examples of this trope. | |

Many gems in Steven Universe wear Future Spandex that can be considered spacesuits — they don't need helmets (or even sleeves) because gems don't need to breathe. Pearl also switches to a bodysuit to go into space in "Space Race" (and to pilot a robot in "Back to the Barn"), presumably so the skirt on her usual outfit wouldn't get in the way. | |

The Knight Sabers in Bubblegum Crisis wear skintight suits under their Hard Suits. According so supplemental materials, these skintight suits are control interfaces which sense electrical impulses along the muscles just under the skin, which is why it has to be skin tight,note and why underwear can't be worn underneath it, and it transmits that via contact points to the motive systems in the hardsuit. This allows it, with some practice, to move as though it's an extension of the wearer's body. However, it is not intended for use in space. | |

Otherwise, the suits actually do look functional and realistic, being covered in plates of ceramic armor, compared with other examples of this trope. Quarians live nearly their entire lives inside latex space suits because of their atypical immune systems had atrophied due to the extended period aboard sterile environment spaceships due to their exile. Interestingly, they play this trope straight: The ballistic properties of space suits in Mass Effect are downplayed due to relativistic speeds of projectiles. Since personal scale mass effect fields are used to slow/stop projectiles, the light armor suits they wear can focus more on environmental protection rather than being combat capable. Mass Effect 2 lets this slide, however, taking it almost to Batman Can Breathe in Space levels when most of your party goes around in hard vacuum in their usual clothes (in the case of Jack, Miranda, and Samara, very Stripperiffic clothes) and a breath mask.

Super Robot Wars: Original Generation: Divine Wars has surprisingly realistic pilot and space suits — while Personal Trooper pilots wear fairly thin ones that might match the trope, they're not made for space combat and do not have great speeds. However, Armored Module pilots wear a very bulky combination of a g-suit and a space suit as they are main for high-speed assaults and space and air combat. Fighter pilots wear a modified g-suit that's a combination of both. The Playstation 2 remake of the Original Generation game series reuses the pilot suits portrayed in Divine Wars, mainly because few were even seen in the first two Original Generation games (not to mention the Super Robot Wars series in general). There are a number of exceptions to that realism, the most shamelessly egregious of which being Aya's pilot suit, which has a large Cleavage Window that would completely nullify any utility it might have as space suit. | |

In Gunnerkrigg Court, the look of the "haptic feedback suits" — and their use in conjunction with a Hard Light-simulated space battle — is most likely a reference to this trope.

The Gundam franchise uses both the skintight version and the bulkier version. Mobile Suit pilots wear form-fitting flight suits which don't interfere with their movements but aren't meant to go out in space except in an emergency; regular space suits are worn by civilians and battleship crew. A few characters like Char Aznable and Haman Karn eschew any kind of suit entirely as a matter of preference, though in Char's case it actually became a plot point.note The first time he takes Lalah Sune's advice and actually wears a flight suit is the time that doing without would have killed him. He wears pilot suits from then on in Zeta Gundam and Char's Counterattack. Not to mention, a few pilots actually do wear the standard space suit while piloting, including Judau Ashta and Heero Yuy (though Heero does get a pilot suit in the final arc of his show. | |

Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor. For one there is no actual space travel involved. Two, the suits that the pilots wear — called synergetic suits — are skintight, but serve to lessen the pain that linking with Fafner entails. This wouldn't work with a bulkier design considering how Fafner works. They also leave the parts of the body where the Fafner connects exposed, which makes them rather skimpy (but not gender specific). Kazuki has no time to put on a suit upon piloting the first time and the pain he undergoes is substantial. Another twist is that, though revealing, the suits themselves look like stretched out skin and are thus not exactly flattering. They get a coolness upgrade for the movie and Exodus but, once again, not gender specific. On the other hand, the suits that Mizoguchi and Maya wear as regular fighter pilots are much bulkier. | |

In Known Space, the state of the art is "skinsuits" similar to the real-life SAS described above. The suits must be specially constructed to fit each individual, and are usually painted with distinctive personal designs. Anyone wearing a bulky and generic "bubble suit" marks himself as a newbie (or an Earthling) and is not to be trusted on his own in vacuum. | |

Red vs. Blue not only has somewhat bulky armor on its characters, but makes use of it, with a number of occasions of gender confusion. While not exactly form-fitting, the armor is, well, armor, Powered Armor in fact, and is designed to be shot at. Red Vs Blue is Machinima, meaning the series was made using assets from video games, in this case, the Halo franchise, from which the creators took all their animation, therefore they had no choice in the matter, so it is kind of an Enforced Trope. | |

The series as a whole shows an evolution of spacesuits towards this if we're looking at in-universe chronology: Macross Zero (2008) — normal modern piloting g-suits. Super Dimension Fortress Macross (2009) — not exactly bulky, but still somewhat baggy suits. Macross Plus (2040) — leaner and slimmer version of the previous version. Macross 7 (2045) — essentially the same as in Plus. Frontier (2059) and Macross Delta (2067) — glorified bodygloves. They are quite consistent there. | |

The DCU: The Authority: The Engineer's skintight nanosuit, which doesn't look like clothes so much as making her look like a naked silver Fembot (semi-justified due to her being a closet exhibitionist) can double (triple?) as body armor and a spacesuit in a pinch. Legion of Super-Heroes takes things a step further with the transuit, a skin-tight and completely transparent environment suit which enables characters to breathe in a vacuum or otherwise hostile environment without being perceptible as anything more than a white armband (despite being full-body and skin-tight, the transuits do not so much as flatten down the characters' hair). Unlike most Latex Space Suits, the transuit's skin-tightness is not a means of providing fanservice, since it is transparent and worn over normal clothing... but since most Legionnaires both male and female wear skin-tight superhero jumpsuits anyhow, it all comes out the same. Superman/Supergirl: Maelstrom: During their camping trip in another planet, Superman and Supergirl wear skintight, light-blue space suits with their crest emblazoned on the frontside. |

Code Geass: Suzaku's battle suit when piloting the Lancelot is a male example. The Black Knights' ace pilots end up receiving similar suits, whose creator insists they improve survival rates; in the second season, the Knights of the Round all wear designs similar to Suzaku's except personalized, making this trope apply to both men and women. Whenever one of the Black Knights eject from their Knightmares, their "flight suits" can be seen inflating around their torso like a wearable airbag. Therefore, they do improve survival rates, while also providing Fanservice in their normal skin-tight mode... unless, of course, you happen to be a certain member of the Four Holy Swords.◊ |

The Kerbals have these in The Next Frontier, complete with skintight hoods that can be pulled up in less than ten seconds. They're normally worn as duty uniforms, similar tonote and directly inspired by skinsuits from the Honor Harrington series, and like that series they're designed as emergency protective gear in the event of pressure loss. Planned EVAs are normally carried out with bulkier suits with a greater internal air supply and proper radiation shielding. | |

Destination Moon: The 'Michelin Man' look is a carry-over from the long obsolete 1943 Goodrich pressure suit. The producers wanted to have a pneumatic suit that would both look realistic and cool the actors, but the wire work needed for the low gravity scenes made that impossible. To Hand Wave the issue in scenes where the actors change into the suits, this was justified by making it a two-piece version like a car tire — the outside padding takes the wear and tear, while the pressure suit is inside. | |

Downplayed in 2001: A Space Odyssey, in which spacesuits resemble quilted snowsuits, but are still much more form-fitting and flexible than any so far deployed in real life. Justified as people are working on similar outfits today. Ironically downplayed even further in the sequel 2010: The Year We Make Contact, where the spacesuits used are much bulkier and the fitted suits of 2001 are seen as outdated. The 2010 suits are still not quite as bulky as the real thing, but they no longer qualify for this trope by any stretch either. | |

Eight Worlds takes this to its (il)logical conclusion, admittedly with form-fitting force fields rather than physical spacesuits. Worn over the nude body, the force fields will protect their wearers from virtually any hostile environment, are one molecule thick, and perfectly reflective, making their wearers look like chrome robots or animated statues. (Oh, and when they come into contact the fields will merge, allowing their wearers to have sex in them.) | |

The cryosuits in Lost in Space are like this, which is to be expected, given its source material's costume choices. Here they are less thin latex and more moulded, tight plastic. Not much emphasis is placed on them and they only worn during the first act. After that the crew wears more normal clothing. This might be due to how inevitably revealing they were on the three female characters. | |

In Illium/Olympos, the Old-style humans use Thermskins to protect them from all manner of hostile environments, space, extreme cold, low oxygen environments, underwater, etc. It's explained that the thermskins are a single molecule thin paint-like substance which is only functional if in direct contact with the skin.

Jumper: In Exo, before she can teleport into orbit, Cent needs a space suit — preferably one that doesn't cost millions of dollars. She finds Cory Matoska, who's working on one of these but is having trouble finding a way to get a sealed skintight suit onto a human body. As she can teleport into the suit, that's not a problem, but they still have to do a significant amount of testing. In the end, the space suit proves to be just the underlayer, with a fishbowl helmet, a visor, and some industrial coveralls sourced elsewhere to complete the outfit. | |

Dead Space: Isaac Clarke's R.I.G is bulky and creepy-looking. The military version has a skull-like face. Dead Space 2 take this further with the Vintage RIG, which shows that all the other RIGs are far more streamlined than their predecessors. However, both examples are meant for dangerous situations; it's bulky because it needs to protect the wearer from more than just horrible space death. The "Standard Astronaut Suit" is basically just an orange catsuit with boots and a helmet. It's rather...tight. Ellie in 2 plays this trope straight, for the ten seconds or so she's in a spacesuit. Presumably it's a "civilian", non-ruggedized suit, and thus slimmer.note It doesn't even have an internal air supply like Isaac's suits. There's about a fraction of a second that could be considered "fanservice". If you really stretch the definition. And you're actively looking for it, because it's not the focus of the scene. |

The B5 crew of Astra Lost in Space all come packed with one, whether they're actually in space or as hazard suits in potentially dangerous environments. Boy and girl alike wear these form-fitting space suits, but they're not all the way conforming, leaving things like the intersex Luca's breasts somewhat ambiguous. When they rescue a woman who had been stuck in cryostasis for a decade, she's surprised by the sleekness of their suits compared to her older, bulkier model. | |

Battlestar Galactica (1978) has an episode in which female shuttle pilots are trained to fly the Viper fighters, and a scene is tossed in showing the skintight "space suit" that the fighter pilots are supposedly all wearing under their cloth uniforms. Of course, we're never shown any of the male pilots wearing them. | |

Battlestar Galactica (2003): Male and female military personnel wear realistic-looking uniforms, that seem well suited for whatever the characters are doing. Men and women wear identical uniforms too. It is worth noting that the flight suits that they wear are supposed to double as spacesuits but wouldn't actually work as such (or if they did they would balloon too much for the wearer to move). The organic-Cylon flightsuits seen in a few episodes towards the end of the show are quite a bit closer to this trope. Of course, they're usually seen on Sixes and Eights. |

Mesh spacesuits are used by the specialist SAS team in The Atrocity Archive. The point is made that the suit compresses you by its own elasticity, which generally ensures that any gas in your body outside of your lungs is squeezed out of the nearest orifice. When they see the SAS team that crosses over into Another Dimension wearing these, the protagonist realises they've made such journeys before. | |

In Going Another Way, the pilots frequently note the fact that the plugsuits are rather revealing and wonder who would put that onto a teenager (Ritsuko). Shinji is embarrassed at first, Toji is not too happy either and Hikari even forces the R&D department to make alterations so it's less revealing. It's telling that even Yui — years earlier — felt almost naked in a prototype. Asuka later refuses to do a test with a suit that is almost transparent. | |

All-New Wolverine #5 features a "Fantastic Voyage" Plot in which Wolverine and The Wasp must enter the blood of one of Laura's clones, to destroy nanomachines that are slowly killing her. Laura's suit, a variation on the Ant-Man suit, is supposed to both protect her from the environment and make it possible for her to shrink down in the first place. It's also skin-tight with the classic bubble helmet. Ditto for Jan's, which is basically her regular (also skin-tight) costume. Somehow, the fact Laura using her claws causes tears in the gloves and boots does nothing to compromise the suit... | |

Star Wars Legends: The flight suits the Rebel pilots wear throughout the original trilogy, despite having helmets that leave their mouths uncovered, count as spacesuits. The suits generate a magnetic containment field to keep a small amount of atmosphere and heat in so a pilot who ejects survive for about fifteen minutes, long enough hopefully that someone can recover them. Used and improved upon by the Empire; in fact, this is one of the few situations where a TIE pilot is actually better off than a Rebel. TIE fighters are not pressurized spaceships, so TIE pilots have full helmets, and all of their life support is built into their suits instead of the ships. Assuming the TIE pilot actually survives the loss of his ship, he can continue to survive much longer. In the X-Wing Series, the rebel pilots complain about having to change into sleek dress uniforms for a formal occasion, since they like the extra pockets in their flightsuits, as well as the baggier clothing — as fighter pilots, they can be a bit sensitive about the weight gain that can result from spending hours sitting in a cockpit. The above stated survival time for a Rebel pilot can change depending on the species of the pilot. That a Gamorrean can last quite a bit longer due to his extra fat is a plot point. |

In Have Space Suit – Will Travel, human spacesuits are typically bulky and high maintenance. However, it is revealed that aliens have developed sufficient technology that what amounts to a latex spacesuit is possible.

The space suits used Firefly are relatively realistic for the tech level of the show. Their design apparently references the suits in the original space-is-dirty movie, Alien. The suit worn by the bounty hunter Jubal Early in "Objects in Space" looks like it's skin-tight leather, which is somewhat justified in that Early practically lives in his, so a more streamlined suit would be a must. He also presumably has more money than the crew, meaning he can buy nicer suits with newer tech. | |

Metroid: Samus has the Zero Suit, a form-fitting blue body suit, but it isn't a spacesuit. The Zero Suit is implied to be an interface that allows her to summon her Power Suit (which she DOES use in space). Ever since it was introduced in Metroid: Zero Mission, Samus has appeared wearing the Zero Suit when unable to use her normal armor or doesn't believe it necessary. The Galactic Federation troopers use something similar with their space suits/armor, although Samus' is obviously one-of-a-kind, with Metroid Dread showing that she's made use of it since childhood. | |

Rocket Girls, which is hard sci-fi, features skintight spacesuits that are one of the technical advances developed by the Solomon Space Agency as part of its attempt to realize economical manned spaceflight, since such suits weigh much less than traditional spacesuits, and offer greater mobility. And according to one of the scientists behind the suit, they are made from a silicon rubber base, turning the trope a bit literal. That being said, the show also plays the trope for laughs (several characters seem to find the suits rather scandalous) and fanservice too. One of the reporters present at a press conference sees it and asks, rather nervously, "Is it legal to show this?" Both novels lampshade this a couple of times by having characters mention that the spacesuits look "just like the ones in anime". | |

Red Mars Trilogy: The early colonists of Mars use "mesh" suits; this has the advantage of being very lightweight and flexible, but unfortunately does nothing to protect its user from the extreme cold. Thus, the colonists often have to wear mundane cold-weather clothing over their pressure suits. They also must wear helmets with an independent air supply. | |

While the AS pilot suits in Full Metal Panic! are about as close to skintight as one can get while remaining functional, it's justified due to a) arm slaves are used on the ground, not in space, b) arm slave cockpits are tiny, as in smaller than a mini cooper tiny, so you wouldn't want the pilots wearing something that could catch on anything, especially if you have to bail out in an emergency and c) the suits are designed to protect the pilot from being buffeted around from any hits the arm slave may receive; unfortunately they are far from bullet proof, as Sousuke discovers. | |
