Hazmat Suit: Difference between revisions

* Hazmat suits are worn by Royalton's workers when they install a [[Techno Babble|inner-positive transponder]] in ''[[Speed Racer (film)|Speed Racer]]'', and, for some reason, their little dog too.

* The obscure cult film ''[[Static (film)|Static]]'' has a scene where the main character visits his [[Crazy Survivalist]] uncle's house on Christmas, only to find the entire family wearing hazmat suits.

 

== [[Literature]] ==

* Subverted with ''[[Half-Life (series)|Half Life]]'s'' iconic H.E.V. suit; initially presented as a hazmat suit, it's actually more of a [[Powered Armor]]. Cue [[WMG]] over whether it's simply overengineered for its intended purpose or Black Mesa deliberately designed it for the military.

** It's even referenced by the G-man before his hibernation.

** For the military (the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit, at least) they made a compatible variant with slightly different functionality -- [http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Powered_Combat_Vest the PCV].

* You can find and buy a few hazmat suits in the ''[[Fallout]]'' series, as well as finding them on dead researchers. ''[[Fallout 3]]'''s [http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Radiation_Suit radiation suit] unfortunately offers only 30% - 40% radiation resistance... and thanks to the way the game handles radiation you can still die from standing in a radioactive puddle.
