Having a look on trademe I found these
He says he has a few avalable, so if anyone has any ideas for retro inspired space LARPs, these would be Oh so cool.

That is SO cool. The stargate LARP should be able to use them at the very least.
Maybe we could get a bulk discount?
Trouble is, we’d have to pay about $70 each, so we might not be able to afford more than 2 or 3.
Mike - do you want the gear library to have this sort of thing? We could run a vote in the committee to get some…
I bought it, I’m gonna get size MEDIUM. Shit, I’ve actually been looking for one of these and here it is. I’m gonna get at least two of them.
Update: I’m picking some up this arvo, getting at least two, and they’ve indicated the second/third/etc ones will come at a (little) discount. They are quite large in general, and come in sizes MEDIUM and LARGE.
Does anyone think I should get more than two? If they are really really good I think I’ll grab 3. Thing is, they have about TWELVE of them. Don’t ask me why.
How large is large?
We have quite a range of sizes in NZLARPS, and although they can be folded up a bit I think we’d need both sizes as medium is probably too small for the likes of me.
If you can contact a couple more committee people who can approve a budget you’d get a quorum to buy some for nzlarps…
Apparantly they put a “large” one on a guy that was six foot two and it about fit. I imagine if I were getting three I’d get two medium and one large.
Meanwhile, in the committee forum…
[quote=“Exquire”]I have two now, (M and L) and I’ve arranged to get another medium sized one. Medium actually fit me, if a bit big, but much bigger people can also wear them.
They are jaw-droppingly awesome pieces of kit with 15" perspex domes, zips and toggles and buckles and pockets galore. I’m still convinced 3 is a good amount, and I think you’ll all agree when you see 'em that $75 is an absolute bargain. I got my two for $135 which is a score beyond belief. The Navy probably bought them for $3000+[/quote]
Dileriously excited about these things.
Wicked.
I’m tempted to get one so I’m the only person on my block with one.
They’ll be perfect for space suits!
They’re absolutely perfect for space suits. Derek, you’ll be a size M. $75 is a score, but there’ll be three of them between nzLARPS n’ me so you could borrow them for special activities like the street barbeque.

you might even start a trend in the society
These are still on Trademe. The latest ONE sold for over $160. I sold two of mine to nzLARPS last night for $120. 8)
“Danger Will Robinson, Danger Will Robinson”
if we ever have a LARP based around the CDC or USAMRID we know where to go
Oh holy shit that’s sweet.
Starting bid: $300.
Hey, those could be useful for the “Stuck on an Island” LARP.
