This is a stillsuit of Fremen manufacture, the most efficient type on Arrakis. Basically, it’s a high efficiency filter and heat exchange system. Perspiration passes through the first layer, and is gathered in the second, where salt is separated. Breathing and walking provide the pumping action. The reclaimed water circulates to catch pockets, from which you can drink through this tube at your neck. Urine and feces are processed in the thigh pads. Should you be in the open desert, remember to breathe through your mouth and out through this nose tube. With a Fremen suit in good working condition, life can be sustained for weeks, even in the deep desert.
