They are used for a variety of purposes such as bullet proof vest, fire fighter gear and to replace asbestos in insulating buildings. You can read a lot more about it, but it's basically special nylon fibers that have an extremely high melting point, +500°c. You may have already looked up what the fabric is, but based on the game texts (outlined in the wiki for the sneaking suit pretty well), the fabric is a para-aramid, such as kevlar. The protectors would really increase the cost of the cosplay, but would make it functional vs simply aesthetic. There are also motorcycle kneepads that look very similar to Snake's knee pads. The padding on the shoulders is most likely plated protection similar to those in motorcycle jackets.

The suit comes off as a basic practical uniform for sneaking, but it's waterproof qualities elude me.Īlso, studying how to simulate the sneaking suit coincided with studying foam muscle suits and how the Snyderverse Batman suit was made for movies, so I almost equate the MGS Sneaking suit with the Batfleck-suit.

Snake might wear this sort of thing all over for full warzone protection, but it would get in the way of sneaking and proper mobility. Then there's the thermal vest: probably explained by his having to be in Alaska, so the vest provides additional heating and protection against physical damage. The thighs, forearms and shoulders look like they have padding - the latest renders imply this is so, and that it's not his natural muscles bulging through: What purpose does this padding have? Mere physical protection? Thermal heating? But then consider the way his dummy thicc rear looks in MGS2: like he's wearing spandex/vinyl/neoprene, and you can see whatever shape his muscles are in: Can there be pants designed that way with fly and baggy calves - or might the calves tighten around his ankle area like a wetsuit would? If it is waterproof, how can he prevent moisture from seeping through the cutoff on the wrists and waist? Water might get into his gloves if they're not tight enough!īesides, the boots may be water proof, but the pants look more like military fatigues with the way they're bloused into his boots, and the unmistakable fly in front, and some waist loops for a belt/thermal vest. I understand it's made of some material that protects against bullets and concussions somewhat, and can partially protect against Alaska-level cold, but is it really waterproof? He wasn't wearing a wetsuit over it when he first swam into Shadow Moses, and apparently, the top comes off when he was captured and tortured. I'm researching the suit for a cosplay, and all sorts of questions came to mind. Please also use context cues to help decide if you should tag a detail in your comments.
