EVA Suit: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 05:52, 27 January 2022

An EVA suit is a suit that allows the Breachmen to operate outside of Snowpiercer, or in damaged areas without heating. It consists of several pieces, including the bodysuit and removable helmet.^[1]

The suit provides not only the necessary heating but also the oxygen for its users. It's currently unknown how the suit can isolate its user against -120 degrees freeze, but it appears to do it passively, without any active heating.

When showing a first person perspective of the EVA suit, for example when Melanie is wearing one, it often shows a remaining charge. Melanie has also been seen plugging her suit into an external battery in the episode, “Many Miles From Snowpiercer” and it is known that if the charge runs out she will freeze, suggesting the suit may be heated. The suit has 30 minutes of power.

The suit that Josie Wellstead gets from Big Alice is more compact and possibly more advanced than the bulky suits of Snowpiercer.

In The Tortoise and the Hare, Bennett Knox collects ice samples outside of the pirate train before falling through a roof, requiring Josie Wellstead and Andre Layton to go to his rescue. While waiting for Josie to return for him, Layton discovers another survivor in a bunker beneath the building and nearly dies when his suit runs out of power. However, Layton manages to recharge his suit using the bunker's power supply and returns to the train with the survivor who wears her own protective suit.
