One of the most interesting inventions in the Dune franchise is the stillsuits worn by the Fremen. The Fremen culture is the most fascinating part of the Dune series. Desert people, fierce warriors, and wormriders, the Fremen blend their rugged survivalism with scientific ingenuity and deep, psychedelic-laced spirituality.Each adaptation of Dune has featured the Fremen, and that mean each adaptation has also featured the stillsuit, the Fremen desert armor-slash-survival gear.
Dune's Stillsuits Recycle The Body's Water It's Not A Pleasant Process, But It Works Close In the desert, the most valuable commodity is water. Exposure for just a day in the fierce Arrakis sun and bone-dry heat can easily kill someone from dehydration or heatstroke. Thus, the stillsuits are not only a neat-looking piece of costuming, but necessary for survival. Stillsuits ensure not a single bit of moisture from a person is lost.
The stillsuits also go one step further in ensuring that the body's moisture doesn't go to waste. It's not just the filtration system that makes a stillsuit a necessity, but the design itself. A stillsuit acts as an entirely self-contained unit. It covers the entire body, ensuring that sunburn is limited. But that coverage also ensures no sweat goes to waste. Likewise, there is a nose plug, a mouth tube with face mask, and a catheter.
The Dune Encyclopedia has some conflicting information on the first wormrider, naming it as a Zensunni tribesperson named Rothar.
