Life & Temperatures on Titan

The big problem for a suit able to handle supercool temperatures is that the flexible polymers we generally use for things like joints aren't flexible at cryogenic temperatures (and there probably aren't any options that work over the entire range of temperatures needed); the actual insulation and heating requirements aren't all that dramatic.
