Flash Suit

"When are we gonna start considering it my suit? "I would be comfortable calling it our suit"

- Barry Allen and Cisco Ramon discussing ownership The Flash Suit(s) are a series of protective suits designed and created by Cisco Ramon at S.T.A.R. Labs, originally to replace the turnouts firefighters use. It was later given to Barry for his vigilante activities.

The Pre-Flash Suit
Essentially just a red leotard with padding and a reinforced helmet, Cisco had the suit readied for Barry Allen so that he could test his new-found speed powers for the first time. It was used at the Ferris Air Testing Facility outside of Central City. In it, Allen reached over 300 mph in less than a minute. But due to his inexperience with his abilities, Allen wasn't able to fully control his speed and crashed into a series of water tanks. The suit was destroyed and never used after.

Original Suit Development
After the events of the particle accelerator explosion, public opinion of S.T.A.R. Labs quickly turned to the worst; with hatred being focused on "Dr. Wells" the most as he was both the company and project's director. Cisco Ramon: one of the last remaining employees at S.T.A.R. Labs, attempted to better the situation by doing something good for Central City. In his case: by developing new technologies for civilians to better handle designated situations. One, if not most prominently, was a red skintight suit of armor to replace the turnouts the firefighters usually wear when in action. Cisco later re-purposed it and added an upgraded version of the new earpiece he previously installed in the prototype suit. Cisco then gave the suit to Barry so that he could find and detain Clyde Mardon. The suit became an incredibly helpful tool for Barry and when he decided to permanently be a protector of Central City as "Red Streak/The Streak/The Flash", he kept the suit and started using on a regular basis.

Upgrades
Once Barry started working full-time as Red Streak/The Streak (and later as The Flash), Cisco began to add new devices and made alterations to allow Barry to be better prepared for any situation. Currently, Cisco has added more lightning-related tips to the suit as well as a mini-cam, a defibrillator, and a multi-link comm set.

Functions

 * Intense Temperature and Abrasion Resistance: The suit was originally designed as a firefighter turnout, so it's primary use is still intact. It's made of a reinforced tri-polymer, making it resistant to several thousand degrees of intense heat, whether it be around him or it be the friction generated from his body while running; as well as resistant from grazing bullets, knives, abrasions, or scars. It appears that Cisco has modified it to resist intense cold as well, since Barry was able to walk off several blasts from Snart's Cold Gun and Rory's Heat Gun quicker now than in previous battles.
 * Aerodynamics: The suit's form-fitting design and articulation allows Barry to maintain control of every step and movement that he takes. This is what allows him to dodge attacks and run as he would without it.
 * Communication Link: Cisco had installed two minature earpieces shaped like lightning bolts attached to the ears of the suit. This grants Barry full communication with the team at S.T.A.R. while in the field. The link can be routed to other people's phone and display it as if it was from his cell phone.
 * Mini-Cam: The suit's chest piece has a miniature camera with live streaming and 1080p built into it. By pressing on it, Barry's team can see through and gain a better idea of his surroundings and/or situation.
 * Sensor System: Both versions of Barry's suit have had several health sensors built in to work in real time. The telemetry is sent to S.T.A.R. so that they can identify Barry's condition and health. The current version of the suit has a GPS built into it so that S.T.A.R. can locate Barry, keep track of where he is, see how much power he's generating, and determine how fast he's running.
 * Defibrillator: The newest addition to the suit is an magnetic-electrical charge that jumpstart Barry's heart. Though after two consecutive administrations, the device will completely fry and take a while to repair, making it still to a prototype.
