The experimental hazmat suit and hazmat darklight cowl were created at [[Big MT]] before the [[Great War]]. Described as an "experiment within an experiment", the new hazmat suits were issued to [[Sierra Madre]] [[Villa]] workers when [[The Cloud]], a toxin also originating from Big MT, became a major problem for construction crews and to general health. Due to unforeseen interaction between the two experiments, the Sierra Madre Villa workers later mutated after the Great War. The [[ghost people]] were born, an atypical mutation and terrifying perversion of humanity.

The hazmat suit is known to be bulky and would grow stiff with use. It is not protected from corrosion; when exposed to The Cloud, the hazmat suit has to be opened with extremely sharp items like the [[cosmic knife]]. The hazmat darklight cowl has an integrated night-vision setting which makes the vision of the wearer lighter and green-colored. The eyepieces are bright yellow in the center and glowing green around. The cowl is also known to create difficulty when speaking. Despite its quality and its high protection against poison, the hazmat suit did not protect against the poisonous gas cloud of the Sierra Madre Villa which later became The Cloud.

The hazmat suit and the matching hazmat darklight cowl are pieces of clothing in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Background

The experimental hazmat suit and hazmat darklight cowl were created at Big MT before the Great War. Described as an "experiment within an experiment," the new hazmat suits were issued to Sierra Madre Villa workers when the Cloud, a toxin also originating from Big MT, became a major problem for construction crews and to general health. Due to unforseen effects on the suit by the Cloud, the villa workers using the suits were trapped, and eventually mutated into the Ghost people seen in Dead Money.

The hazmat suit is said to be bulky and stiff, workers using the suit complaining about the lack of ventilation and difficulty understanding each other when wearing it, forcing the use of sign language to communicate. Due to the unprotected latches and the harsh chemicals in the cloud, many of the suits latches were rusted shut in a short amount of time exposed, forcing several suits to be cut open in order to get the villa workers out of them. Though the suit worked well against the elements and poison, it was useless when put up against the cloud, many workers are still dying in the suits and later mutating into ghost people because of it.

Characteristics

Wearing the helmet will give you a night-vision effect. Unlike night-vision scopes, it does not turn off during the day. The effect is similar to Ghost Sight.

Unlike the suits used by the unfortunate Sierra Madre construction workers, the obtainable hazmat suit has practically no negative effects; it will not grow stiff in prolonged use, protects the wearer to the highest potential against hazardous chemicals and poisons, and the headgear will not affect speech in any way.
