The suit is based on Martian design. One of the Martian nations Egypt primarily deals with has a very centralized government which tightly controls production of media, food, and clothes among other things (similar in ways to the direction communist North America is going in this comic). The clothes they typically produce serve as low-grade environmental suits, promoting protection and enhanced health. They are very easily adapted to being suitable for space travel or deep-sea exploration.
