The Bulky Exploratory Armor was crafted for use in severe weather or under difficult atmospheric circumstances. Seldom utilized by scouts, the BEA included both a built-in rebreather and oxygen tanks. It was also suitable as a substitute for a typical enviro-suit during extravehicular activity. Equipped with tool and utility belts, the BEA featured detachable weight boots that had magnetic bottoms. Within the helmets were integrated comlinks along with flashlights.
