You may be wondering how these blimp suits (some people call them "sphere suits") work and what their purpose is. Well, it's made of latex, but it's as strong as steel. After putting it on, you pull the cord in the back. The valve inside releases oxygen into the suit, causing it to slowly expand into a perfect sphere. If you wish to take it off, you pull on the cord again, or press on the bellybutton, which is another valve for the air to escape.

But these pretty patterns aren't just for show. They can also be used to deflect anything that would pop any normal balloon. In fact, it's original purpose was like a large, inflatable shield. As long the aim wasn't at the head or limbs, the person who wore it was safe from harm. Kind of comes in handy if you're captured in a dark alley and a serial murderer is plotting to stab your heart.
