Working in the void of space is a risky, dangerous proposition - but in cases where a ship or installation needs to be repaired externally, it is often necessary. This is the primary role of the spaceman (often: spacedude). They're also a poor second choice to an escape pod, when fleeing a crippled starship. Amazingly, these suits have also been used for orbital protests.
Any Privateer who takes on the universe in nothing but a vacuum suit is hard core, to say the least.
