This suit has the designation A4-H, and was designed and manufactured for Hamilton Standard by the International Latex Corporation in 1964. The A4-H series of suits were constructed in 1964, and were the fourth series of Apollo developmental/training suits.

A4-H suits came in two configurations. Those with a white cover-layer were for training purposes only, and those with an aluminized covering were of flight configuration. The aluminized covering was for vacuum chamber thermal testing in addition to ground training.
