Gore CPCSU-2 Prototype Over-Garments - Jumpsuit Variant

Showcased here is a W. L. Gore & Associates prototype CPCSU-2 CBRN suit. This variant is the standalone jumpsuit variant which is one of three variants in this new CBRN family. This is a relatively new suit which uses Gore CHEMPAK material and SONICS Bio-Shell technology. Having worn both a commercial chemsuit and the current generation MOPP suit in the past, this CBRN suit is a substantial improvement in all aspects of design. The future of CBRN equipment may no longer be at odds with user comfort should the technology be pursued. At the time of writing, this is the only example of the CPCSU-2 in non-official and non-government hands. A full writeup on this suit, its variants, and overall history on the item is available here.

For those curious, the gas mask is an Avon C50 with a VPU.
