How do those suits handle? It would be impressive if the engineers at SpaceX managed to make a comfortable, maneuverable suit that works for a while and is that slim.
If they're like most Le Epic X In Logo products, probably style over substance and primarily intended to look futuristic over being practical and safe. I don't know for certain, but chances are that stripping away all the failsafes and fallback protections of old NASA spacesuits may be costly someday.
I'd rather not have the clownfoolery executive meddling and hubris-laden decisions that made the ZYBERTRUKKK what it is happen anywhere near a life-or-death system such as a spacesuit. If I was in charge of hanging out government contracts, I'd look elsewhere no matter how snazzy the external appearance.

Nonetheless, a hybrid EVA/IVA suit would be helpful
