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
