Partial walk-around of the A7LB suit.

Picture 3 of 3.

Note the nearly-horizontal entrance zipper at the suit's waist. One of the significant differences between the A7LB suit introduced on Apollo 15 and the A7L suit worn on earlier missions is the change in the location of the zipper. On the A7LB, it started at the suit's left shoulder, down to the waist, and around the back of the waist. The A7L had a zipper that ran down the back and under to the front crotch.
