In the rare times where [[Colonial Warrior]]s or other staff must work in low-pressure or vacuum environments, a '''space suit'''<ref>{{bsgwiki term}}</ref> is needed.

This somewhat-bulky suit consists of a bubble-shaped helmet, connected to a flexible pressure suit with a life-support backpack. Two large hoses connect to the helmet to provide and to clean air to be scrubbed for unbreathable gases from expiration.

[[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] dons a space suit in an attempt to reach areas of ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]'' during a dangerous shipboard fire {{OS|Fire in Space}}.

These suits aren't used during {{TOS|Viper}} flights; Colonial Warriors do not wear any life-support gear during their flights. In the Viper's cockpit, Warriors wear a helmet for communications and their standard [[Uniforms (TOS)|uniform]] in most instances.<ref>In contrast, the [[Re-imagined Series]] pilots use a special [[flight suit|one-piece pressure suit]] during their [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] and [[Raptor]] flights.

As no other means of emergency life support flight wear was shown in the [[Original Series]], the probability of a space-borne [[SAR]] mission for Colonial Warriors would seem unlikely since the Warrior would not live long without vacuum protection.</ref>
