It reminds me of the suits they have in the Sci Fi book Dune. They live in arid desert, but have these anazing suits that keep them cool, act as a spongy body armour and recycle their sweat and urine back into drinking water :roll:

It may reduce the amount of water they need to carry - but what a way for the army to load them up with more ammo :roll:
