I got one that holds air. I will write more later.

For anyone looking, I found this possible source which has a good price: http://www.omahas.com/pilots-anti-g-suit-csu-3p
$49.50 plus $11.95 shipping, about $50-75 cheaper than FlightHelmet. However I don't know if these will hold air. I did not buy from this source.
Update 1:
I have only worn it for 5 minutes at a time to check fitting. I want to find out if this will help, but this "fitting" step is tiring.
When I first got it, I was puzzled why fitting would be difficult. Must have been brain fog. Now I have readjusted the suit 4 times and I am not done.
One problem is the lacing at the shins/calves won't go tight enough. I have it tightened as much as I can, and it seems like I need it smaller. So I may need to wear something around my calves to add bulk.
The other problem is the side loops are unraveled at 2 or 4 places that I need them. You would have to see to know what I mean. This makes the waist not tight enough. This may take time to fix.
My suit might have a tiny leak.
The first suit I had leaked. The mildew scent of it was bothersome. Anyone with chemical sensitivity should be forwarned and have good ventilation. Or better, have someone clean it for you.
