Heh, maybe that suit could be taken off quite fast, like normal clothes, unlike space suits in our world, it can take as much as half hour.
At first the idea of skin tight suits make me roll me eyes (it was just for fanservice), but to my surprise it is possible to use those. I would have imagined the problems with keeping it in correct temperature, plus I wouldn't like the idea that between me and vacuum of space is only a few millimeters of clothing.

Skintight suits
Skintight suits, also known as mechanical counterpressure suits or space activity suits, are a proposed design which would use a heavy elastic body stocking to compress the body. The head is in a pressurized helmet, but the rest of the body is pressurized only by the elastic effect of the suit. This eliminates the constant volume problem, and reduces the possibility of a space suit depressurization. However, these suits are very difficult to put on and face problems with providing a constant pressure everywhere. Most proposals use the body's natural sweat to keep cool.
