pressure suit
A pressure suit is a protective suit worn by astronauts, pilots and others who may be exposed to extremely high or low atmospheric pressure. They are designed to prevent conditions such as hypoxia and decompression sickness by maintaining a stable pressure around the body, often with the help of a self-contained oxygen supply.

Pressure suit
A pressure suit is a protective suit worn by high-altitude pilots who may fly at altitudes where the air pressure is too low for an unprotected person to survive, even breathing pure oxygen at positive pressure. Such suits may be either full-pressure or partial-pressure. Partial-pressure suits work by providing mechanical counter-pressure to assist breathing at altitude.
