Noomi's suit differences

As interesting as the SJ "suits" are, I'm wondering why Noomi's suit looks so different from earlier released pictures that appear to be in the same location. Anyone up for a side by side comparison? [img]http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxtefjJ8Sx1qeksb7o1_500.png[/img] vs [img]http://www.filmofilia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Noomi-Rapace-Prometheus.jpg[/img] vs [img]http://www.flicksandbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/PROMETHEUS-Logan-Marshall-Green-Noomi-Rapace-Michael-Fassbender1.jpg[/img] There are at least 3 different suit versions all with her helmet off in Gigeresque tunnels. The first 2 could be the same if the red striping lights up for some reason but the final suit lacks much of the detail from the top pictures.

the first suit puffs up when pressurized. she just hasn't deactivated it after taking the helmet off. the last suit is for regular atmospheric conditions. possibly used on a second trip after they realized the ampule room had air.

Ah, makes sense I suppose. Anyone else see this Studio Gekko blog? It really helped me orient in the SJ chair/control room and exposed details I missed before. http://studiogekko.blogspot.com/2012/01/more-prometheus_04.html There doesn't seem to be a search feature on this forum to help avoid posting redundantly.

In Alien the suits puffed CO2, I reckon this is along those lines to give the suits an active, working feature. The piping is likley a circulatory feature like heating or cooling, the pipes radiating off excess body heat?
