The [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)|''USS Enterprise'' NCC-1701]] personnel had body armor that zipped itself up, leaving no seam. This armor was like silk, but an impact would render it rigid. ([[Star Trek: The Original Series|''TOS'']] [[novel]]: ''[[Planet of Judgment]]'').

  +
An '''Environmental suit''' or '''EV suit''' is a specialised type of clothing used to project the wearer from hazards and maintain life-support in inhospitable environments.
  +
  +
EV suits can be used for a variety of tasks; for extravehicular activities, to explore a non-[[class M]] environments (or dependent on your species whatever environments might usually cause you harm) or to work in hazardous areas protected from various forms of chemicals and radiations.
  +
  +
There are a number of specialised EV suits, with magnetic boots to walk on the [[hull]] of a [[starship]] or a small propulsion unit to allow independent travel a short distance into open space. [[Anthropological isolation suits]] seem to stem from EV suit technologies sealing a researcher off from their unsuspecting study subjects.

EV suits used by [[Earth Starfleet]] in the 22nd century were a bronze colour utilising a soft body suit with more solid components where necessary. These EV suits had magnetic boots and had various safety measures such as the ability to share an [[oxygen]] supply if one's was damaged or lost.
  +
  +
The suits were generally emblazoned with the mission patch of the [[starship]] they were assigned to and key crew members had there own tailored suits whilst over personal utilised shared suits.
