The suit is equipped with cooling and heating units that masks the infrared signature of the wearer, as well as creating a comfortable environment. The helmet has encrypted communications gear and a [[heads-up display]], along with thermal sensors and motion detectors. The whole suit is fully sealed and gas tight, making them wearable in vacuum for up to fifteen minutes when equipped with an oxygen tank.{{Ref/Reuse|for}}

Unfortunately, the suit's general complexity leads to complications. Over prolonged periods of time the suit will become very uncomfortable to wear, is difficult to repair in the field, and is often in need of repairs. The suit also limits the wearer's motion, as remarked by [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[Kelly-087]].{{Ref/Reuse|for}}

==History==
==History==
These suits saw extensive use during the 2520s. They were used by the Spartan-IIs in several missions before they received their [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]]. [[Assault on Eridanus Secundus|One of these missions]] involved infiltrating an [[Insurrectionist]] base in the asteroid [[Eridanus Secundus]] in the [[Eridanus system]].{{Ref/Reuse|for}}

==Production notes==
In the ''[[Halo: Fall of Reach]]'' comic adaptation, the suits' helmets are modeled after those of the [[ODST armor]]. In ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach - The Animated Series]]'', the helmets are changed to a unique design while the bodysuits themselves are almost identical to the base techsuit of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|GEN2 Mjolnir armor]].
