Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The thinsuit, sometimes known as Karflo Corporation thinsuit or Karflo's Thinsuit, was a light body armor skintight undergarment that protected users against hostile environments including radiation, chemicals, pressure, temperature and vacuum, although it did not provide air. Unless heavily modified, it was ineffective against direct attacks such as blaster bolts, but a thinsuit was so thin than a user could don a second armor or clothes over it.

Through the years, thinsuits were used by professional scouts; by the Cularin Militia during the Clone Wars; and by the Alliance Special Forces during the Galactic Civil War, particularly Wilderness Fighters and the elite teams expert in fighting aboard starships.
