A padded flight suit Throughout the galaxy, starfighter pilots often chose the padded flight suit, a kind of armor. This single-piece suit offered protection against several hazards, such as decompression, intense g-forces, and dangerous surroundings. While not primarily made for combat, it did offer some limited protection during battles. Included with each suit were a helmet and gloves that formed a secure, airtight seal, enabling survival for up to 10 hours in harsh conditions. The typical price for a padded flight suit was 800 credits, and it generally weighed about 5 kg.
Notably, this armor shares an identical design with the "battle armor" found within the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic game series.
