Of course GoreTex breathes, so it would be useless in a vacuum. But I believe the main problem with any sort of elastic suit is that the volume changes...
These are all good comments, particularly the wee-wee system. All a resolvable with good, innovative engineering/tinkering. If Gore-Tex isn't the existing...

Thanks for the comments. Again, without wanting to start a flame war, I still think that something basic is being missed here. The skin suit concept involves...
