    I would say, a space suit (Being a suit to protect a human agianst space), is clothing like, equipment, such the same as a suit of armour or CRBN suit. Where an EVA suit (Being a vehicle allowing mobilty in low/no gravity areas), is a vehicle like, mech suit, such the same as an exoskeleton.

    Yes we generally only use EVA suits in space
