> The spacewalk was significant for another reason – the twentieth use of a single spacesuit. Eleven taikonauts have worn the suit, which Chinese engineers designed to last at least 15 spacewalks. These five extra spacewalks made it the first Chinese space suit to enter extended use.

I wonder how one-size-fits-all these are. Do smaller Taikonauts find it cumbersome to use? Do larger ones find it uncomfortable?
