Default number of layers in Apollo, ISS spacesuit ?


Hi,

Could someone help be to find the correct version ?

I read at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrave..._Mobility_Unit
that the apollo EVA suit was made of 21 layers. It is the first time I read
this.
Most websites tell that the A7L suit used for EVA during the moon missions
had only 7 layers
Question : what suit used Apollo crew during EVA ? An A7L made of 7-layers
or something else ?

Do you also confirm that it was only for ISS that NASA used a 14-layer suit
to made the EMU.
Some speak of a 15 layer suit ? Was the original EMU made of 14 layers, and
the lastest one, a bit lighter named ISS EMU made of 15 layers ?

Thanks for your light

Thierry
