Default What is this uniform called?

Well I got bored and surfed the web and found this picture,



and I am wondering what the uniform (if it's not a unform, the article of clothing) called, and if possible a place where I can purchase one. Thanks for whatever info one can provide.

If I'm not mistaken, it kind of looks like a MOPP suit. And no, you don't want to buy one.

Also, you don't want a MOPP suit for the fact they just plain ol' suck, you get hot and burn alive inside of em'.

A MOPP suit is what you would put on should you be in an NBC environment. It's designed to help protect from nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) attacks.

They SAY I work for a living... If work is characterized as showing up and sitting around for 12 hours, then that's me working.

Well I was planning to get them for a hunting trip with my uncle so the fact that they get kind of hot shouldn't matter 'cause it'll be a winter thing, but the fact that they're for NBC attacks/enviroments, that I don't need. Thanks for the information.
