The Apollo EVA suit system, with the inner cooling garment at left featuring micropiping hand-sewn into it, a drink bladder, and vitals monitoring belt (all shown.) Fun fact: the astronauts choose their own "regular" underwear to wear beneath that garment.Submitted by DweadPiwateWoberts t3_10oaaa3 in space

Which part is the airtight suit? Is that the white part ? I notice the green layer also has glove sealing rings.

The helmet only attaches to the white garment. Also only the white garment has the hose connectors. But I wonder what's up with the rings on the green garment.

Pretty sure it's the green suit, although in the pictures I've seen, it's blue and looks slightly different. The white part is the Thermal Micrometeroid Garment - it's mainly for rejecting as much heat as possible and for protecting the airtight suit from pokey hazards (as well as micrometeoroids).
