What each suit covers
Sections on this site are organized by who a suit is cut for. Coverage runs the other way — across all twelve listings at once — because it is usually the thing you actually decide first.

The head
Two suits have a full hood: the fabric closes over the face and you look out through the panel. Vision through it is real but poor — shapes and light rather than detail — and it gets worse in the dark. Do not drive, handle stairs unlit or wander off alone in one.
One suit, made for children, has an open-face hood: the head, hairline and ears are covered and the face is clear. The remaining nine leave the head bare and finish at the neck, either with a mock turtleneck that comes up under a mask or with a plain round scoop.
Hands and feet
Six suits have the gloves and socks built in, giving you one continuous surface from fingertip to toe. Six stop at the wrist and the ankle. The built-in version photographs better and reads better on stage; the bare version is the one you can eat, drink, drive and open a door in, and it lets you wear your own shoes properly instead of over a fabric sole.
Cutting the fingertips off a closed suit is common enough that several parents describe doing it. The spandex does not unravel when cut, but the change is permanent and rules out a return.
How it closes
Nine suits zip up the back. Five of those ship with a short pull-cord that clips to the slider so you can close the suit without help. One suit — the metallic bodysuit — puts the zipper on the front of the chest instead. Two, the round-neck and sleeveless unitards, have no closure at all and pull on over your head.
If you are shopping alone and dressing alone, that last column is worth more than any other spec on this page.
