I've been working on a concept for armor like this.
It's set in the WH40K franchise. A model of protective suit for women on worlds and colonies difficult to populate due to the environment.
It starts with the Body Stocking.
The Body Stocking is a tight, but stretchy suit, not unlike spandex. It conforms to and cradles the body, offering intelligent insulating properties. This insulation is good for environments that are both ungodly hot and ungodly cold, as it will prevent heat escape in cold climes. In warm climes, the Smart Stocking circulates chilled fluids through coiled tubes around the fabric and syphons heat away, pulling excess away from the body, as the suit is effectively self-contained and does not let heat in from the outside unless compromised.
This stocking also tracks muscular contractions and intent by the brain. Either from augment ports, or less efficiently, through a fabric skullcap. It also carries diagnostic sensors across the wrists, belly, thighs, over the heart. The Stocking retains its seal with a combination of both velcro and a fine tooth zipper, allowing the wearer to easily have their crotch accessible when nature calls, firmly out of the way. Similarly, it's designed that way at the chest to easily pop a breast out and then re-seal against the environment. Blood circulation is kept track of, as is bodyheat, feeding data to receptive data slates.
Another use for the stocking is it can come equipped with auto-pumps. Silicone nipple shields and pressure pumps that can gently draw milk from the breasts and pump it through tubes; presumably to containment bags located at the lower back, hips and waist, but also into the sealed bags in the power armor backpack for cooling and adequate storage.
The helmet is an enclosed and environmentally sealed piece connecting to a silicone coif, with multiple tubes delivering breathable oxygen. Encapsulating the mouth and nose, valves ensure a breath out never steams up the inside and breathing in is at the breather's leisure. The faceplate can retract to expose the face, from eyes to mouth, or it can enclose both with the visor down. A blast shield can even be pulled down over that, and digital camera feeds with automatic filtering are given from black optical nodes around the cheeks and forehead. It assures even on a sun saturated world, it's never too bright, never too toxic to travel through. Outfitted with a vox speaker, it allows silen
