I'm thinking about wearing a chemical suit as a costume. Has anyone worn a chemical suit before? Does anyone know where I can find one cheap? The kind of suit I am looking for has a solid helmet with a clear plastic window in front of the face and a tube coming out of the back of it. I would also like one with a light inside the helmet but I could maybe put one in it myself if had to.

What kind of budget are you on? I have seen a helmet new for $70-80, and you could pass off a bunny suit (clean room suit) for a haz-mat suit. You could probably even hit it with some plasti-dip spray paint to rubberize it. The bunny suits are usually around $5-10. Other than that, I have seen some haz-mat suits from Grainger or McMaster-Carr that were reasonably priced. Give me a few minutes and I will get some links.

You can buy the suit with a hood, for 160-200 or more.

Here are some coveralls that could work as a substitute.

These coveralls may work as a substitute, but you really need something with a hood.

I think this is the type of helmet you are looking for

Another option may be to call to your local safety shops and see if they have any suits that were damaged in the store.

Tylor, The suite your looking for is totally encapsulated. Meaning that there is no way to breath inside the suite unless you had an air pack or a hose to a breathing system. I have worn them in my days and they are not too comfy for a duration longer then 30 minutes.

If you get scared, you will like it. If I scare you, I will LOVE IT.
