They wore a layer of water-cooled undergarments (LCGs) to keep their bodies from overheating. Over that they wore their EVA suits which was of a rubber pressure vessel surrounded by beta fabric. The suit consisted of a lower section (legs), the torso, boots, gloves, and a helmet. Over top of the helmet they wore a the Lunar Environment Visor Assembly (LEVA) which had a gold visor and some sun-shields. On their backs they wore a Personal Life Support System (PLiSS). This pack contained an oxygen tank, CO2 scrubbers, water system for the LCGs, and communications equipment.

All of this was necessary on the moon's surface.
