COMMENT Well, I have the original issues of "Analog", [the large-format Sci-Fi Mag which had been the A-5-sized "Astounding"] - in which the very first stories of Dune were published, AFAIK, - and the moisture trapping suits are surely called "still suits" in Herbert's text as published therein.

No, sorry, it's definitely 'stillsuit' - I just checked in 'Children of Dune', that being the book that was closest to hand.

[h-cost] Dune costumes
While I really enjoyed both sets of movies (SciFi version, and the > original > movie with extended info), the books are so much better imho One should never go to a movie based on a book and expect it to be in any way true to the book's story. Different medium. Then one is less often disappointed. I loved the Dune books. I also loved the David Lynch "Dune" movie. If any of you are fans of particular film directors, as I am of David Lynch, you go to that movie to see what that director has done with the story, not to see a reenactment scene-by-scene of the book. At least, that is my opinion. If you're looking for the same story as the book, you are bound to be disappointed most of the time. Where was Tom Bombadil, after all, in Lord of the Rings? That said, the process of designing costumes for a science fiction film or fantasy is that the world you are creating never really existed. So you get to create the world, along with the rest of the design team. So much fun! And the choices in "Dune" the movie (the 80's one with Sting) are very interesting. I particularly liked the moisture-trapping suits. The name for them escapes me. And, of course, the Court. And the creepy Baron. (shudder) and how all of these choices related to the characters.
