Those weird spacesuits were used on just one flight--a special long-duration flight. I believe it was Gemini 7, but I'll have to google to be sure...
Hah, I was right. Because it was a two-week flight, it was specially designed so that they could take the damned thing all the way off during their flight. Keep in mind that the Gemini spacecraft had a really cramped cockpit, which was great for scooting around for a few hours, but pretty awful for spending days on end.

I just now noticed this comment. I think livejournal was jealous of your knowledge, and begrudged reporting it to me.
