CoolNow, THAT's the 21st century we talking about. Also note, THIS is a FUNCTIONAL spacesuit; eg - it's not a mockup
VERY cool

Based on what has been reported so far, yes, It has been tested in the vacuum chamber successfully

Yea I saw the vacuum part but is that shielded enough to actually be out in space? I know the NASA one's are so bulky in part because of the heat/radiation/meteorite shielding. If they managed to slim them down that much it would be super impressive.

You'd have to see some technical specifications to answer; I interested on the atmosphere setup for the Dragon vehicle, and this suit. Pressure and mix is always a thing. But these guys are usually ahead of the curve, and don't mess around with their hardware.
