I've been looking into Hard shell spacesuits for a bit, more specifically the work of Hubert Vykukal. His ax-2 and ax-3 spacesuit prototypes are very interesting, pic related is the ax-2.
So I was wondering if anyone here knew what exactly isn't viable about this suit, and whether or not those issues would be insurmountable.


Here are some more images of the suit:
