Stillsuit
Item from Dune by Frank Herbert
A full-body suit that reclaims the wearer's moisture — sweat, breath, urine — recycling it into drinkable water. Without one, the desert kills in hours.
Also known as: desert suit, Fremen stillsuit, body moisture suit
What They Know
- Fremen models reclaim 99.7% of body moisture — vastly superior to commercial versions
- How someone wears their stillsuit instantly communicates their desert competence to Fremen
- The nose plugs and face seal are the most critical components — moisture lost through breathing is the largest source of waste
- A stillsuit must be properly fitted to the individual or efficiency drops dramatically
- Going without a stillsuit in the open desert means death in approximately four hours
- Fremen maintain their stillsuits with the same care warriors give their weapons
