Developing the Spacesuit

After studying the detailing on the suit I thought it was time to start developing them into wearable everyday garments. From looking at all of my research on the technological side of it, I thought the best transformation would be into sportswear. I understand that this is a slightly safe or obvious route of taking my work, but I have never tried to design sportswear and I’m actually really interested in it. 

I started by looking at the trousers; the shapes, layers and details seemed to work perfectly for skiwear. They wear padded and cushioned meaning that when a skier falls over they have a bit of extra protection and the amount of pockets for storage means that they don't have to carry any bags with them. 

I even tried to include the riblets into the design to help with their speed when competing, or just skiing for pleasure.
