This Pressure Garment is the interior layer of an Apollo spacesuit which was worn by astronaut Pete Conrad during training sessions during the Apollo era.

Training suits were identical to those worn during flight, and were designed to enable the astronauts to accustom themselves to the weight and "feel" of a spacesuit. As with the flight suits, training suits could be pressurized and worn with relative comfort for up to 115 hours in conjunction with the liquid cooling garment.

The spacesuit was made by the International Latex Corporation, with the designation A-7L, and was constructed in the Extra-vehicular or EV configuration. The life support systems were made by Hamilton Standard.

Transferred from NASA in 1978.
