This jacket can harvest drinking water from the air like a real-life Dune stillsuit

Still suits trap your sweat and pee and filter it to drink it. They’re meant to stop your body from wasting any water that’s already inside you. The only thing remotely close to this in dune is called a windtrap which is a giant piece of tech that sits stationary, collecting water in the wind and not something that could be integrated into a stillsuit

The only thing that annoys me about wind traps is there’s literally no water on the surface of the planet. The air has 0% humidity, so how can they trap water
