clone adaptive technology - also used in the spacesuit - forms to the exact shape of the foot for a precision fit while HOVR, the brand’s footwear cushioning technology, provides support. it took inspiration from racecar drivers’ footwear, mimicking its lightweight feel for optimum mobility. In place of bulky moon boots, under armour has designed a highly functional space boot that carries through the same style as the spacesuit. lining the back of each garment are virgin galactic‘s flight DNA symbols, unifying the entire space kit. The spacesuit is colored in a deep space blue with atmospheric light blue elements and pops of gold, inspired by an image of the sun in space, casting its rays on earth.

a clear pocket on the inside of the jacket above the heart provides space for a photo of a loved one, and a patch unique to each mission that is removable from the suit to be attached to the future astronaut’s flight jacket for everyday wear. to prevent overheating and chilling, seamless mesh venting and knit density are mapped to specific areas of the body such as the elbows, upper back and the abdomen, to ensure optimal cooling and warmth.īeyond functional measures, the design of the spacesuit was partly informed by the emotive nature of space travel. Under armour uses a specific mix of yarns and fibers to provide warmth and sweat management.

meanwhile, functional features such as multiple pockets consider necessary and personal items and a push-to-talk button enables in-flight communications. quilted knee pads and foam details on the shoulders offer additional padding from seat harness pressure during launch and re-entry. The liner of the spacesuit is designed to be worn over the top to protect wearers during the flight. it works by absorbing the heat emitted during performance and converting it into infrared energy that is re-emitted back into the body to increase blood flow and promote improved performance, energy and recovery. The base layer comprises a long-sleeved pullover and a pair of leggings, which both use a mineral-infused fabric that ‘recycles’ the body’s energy. Images courtesy of virgin galactic and under armour this includes fabrics that are cooling, smooth, fast-drying, moisture-managing, comfortable and safe – to ensure the most comfort experience possible.
