That might reinforce the idea of using walkers or wheeled/tracked vehicles if you're going to be outside of any length of time. Vacc Suits are for short-term use, like making simple repairs, possibly with portable canopies or tents to give extra PF vs. radiation. Walkers are for longer-range travel or longer-term repairs. Heavily-shielded vehicles act as mobile bases for multi-day trips or extended construction or repairs.
