The STiNG G-suit follows the concept of extended bladder coverage over the lower extremities for increased G-protection. The extended coverage provided by the STING suits works on the principle that increased bladder coverage will cause a larger increase in lower body tissue pressure versus older style, cut-away G-suits. It is believed that this will allow for better maintenance of HLBP [head-level blood pressure] under high +Gz and, therefore, increased G- tolerance.

OBS

STING: sustained tolerance to increased G.
