Besides, jump suits are too loose to conveniently wear under a pressure suit. (That's why nobody working at Stellvia wears them, even if they would make sense in certain situations.)
Heinlein did point out the advantage of a force field helmet, though...

If she was wearing a Wright Suit I think she'd need some sort of shoulder pads for the emergency air, the neck part would need to be thicker so the helmet could inflate from that, and she'd need something for the tool belt to hook into, though, that might be in the small of the back.
Having nanotech would make life so much easier...
Thanks for the illustration!
