A suit (10) includes a hard upper torso (14) having an entry opening (28) and shoulder apertures (22). The hard upper torso extends along a subject axis (34) configured to coincide with an axis of a subject having donned the suit. The entry opening lies in a plane at an angle 7° +/-5° relative to the subject axis. The hard upper torso also includes non-circular shoulder apertures in one embodiment. In one example, the hard upper torso includes a waist bearing (18A) lying at an angle of 63° +/- 5° relative to the entry opening plane.

A suit (12) includes a hard upper torso (14) providing shoulder apertures (31). A repositionable scye bearing (24) is arranged at a shoulder aperture. An adjustable shoulder device interconnects the scye bearing and the hard upper torso. The adjustable shoulder device is configured to move the scye bearing between first and second shoulder width positions (W1,W2) relative to the hard upper torso. A method of donning a suit includes the steps of adjusting a scye bearing (24) relative to a hard upper torso (14) to a desired shoulder width position. The scye bearing can be subsequently repositioned for desired crewmember fit and use while the desired shoulder width position is maintained.

A suit (12) includes a hard upper torso (14) having a visor (16) and providing an entry opening (30) and shoulder apertures (18). An interface (32) includes a harness (36) supporting a load plate (34). The harness is configured to be secured to a subject (28). A primary life support system (24) is mounted to the hard upper torso. The interface is arranged at the entry opening and is secured between the hard upper torso and the primary life support system in a donned condition. A method of donning the suit is provided, which includes donning a harness (36) that supports a load plate (34). A hard upper torso (14) includes an entry opening (30) through which the suit is entered. The load plate is positioned relative to the hard upper torso. A primary life support system (24) is closed over the load plate to secure the primary life support system relative to the hard upper torso.

An extravehicular activity system includes a vehicle, 10, having a bulkhead providing a port. The bulkhead separates an interior environment and an unenclosed exterior environment. The exterior environment is configured to be exposed to atmospheric pressure in a donning condition. A cover, 22, has a perimeter with a side of the perimeter secured to the bulkhead by a hinged joint. A spacesuit, 12, is supported on the bulkhead in the exterior environment and includes a flange, 32, providing a rear entry opening aligned with the port. A PLSS, 18, is retained in the cover, 22, and spaced from the flange, 32, in the donning condition. The PLSS is configured to be rotated about the hinged joint, 36, and into engagement with the flange, 32, in a donned condition in which the PLSS, 18, is removably secured to the flange, 32.
