Looking for a good clean room suit

I am looking for a cleanroom outfit that:
Covers everything except hands (and maybe feet) Gotta have a way to take the gloves off, otherwise you'd technically be wearing two pair in the glove box.
Can be washed with bleach (ie: nothing tyvek)
Filters the air you breath OUT. This is kind of a bitch, since most people are worried about what they breath in.
This looks pretty close to what I was thinking: http://www.dqeready.com/productdetail.aspx?p=127
Only thing is, I wanted a hood with a face shield. I was thinking a mask and a face shield would be easier to work with, since goggles like to fog up.
Basically, the goal is to keep everything super, super fucking clean. The room is going to have a flow hood, which means some stuff will be done essentially in open air.
Any thoughts on what to wear?

why not just a biohazord suits with the hood that they pipe air in through the back? and just pipe the exhaust through a hose to the out side of the clean room through one of the exhaust valves.
I mean your all ready getting crazy so might as well go all out.

Like to avoid having hoses attached, already hard as hell to work in a clean room, esp. glovebox.

What's the point?
Buy some bleach, gloves and a sufficiently large plastic box and you got all you need.
Moreover there are tyvek suits available for less than ten bucks. You only need the sleeves though (even though they are not essential).
EDIT: Do not attach your gloves to your still air box.

I attach the left sleeve to the arm port and have the right sleeve unattached so I can easily take my hand out to flame sterilize. The way I see it, since I'm not going to be taking my left hand out until I'm done anyway, might as well attach that sleeve just to keep the air that much more still.

This seems a bit excessive.
I just take a shower and put on clean clothes, short sleeves, wash my arms and hands.
disposable tyvek painting suits seem like a better idea than trying to clean some rubber hazmat suit.
I just don't see the need for a whole body suit.

Going to order a couple pairs.
Also, I looked at home depot and they have 'chemical resistant' suits that explicitly say they hold up to bleach - and they are only $11.
Thinking one of those, a face shield and a surgeons mask - plus gloves and tyvek shoes.
REALLY shooting for zero contams - second you get one, it makes a ton of spores and fucks up everything.

Just buy a damn flowhood  Honestly, if you have good lids and a glovebox, it's all you need for making tons of grain jars. Even if you've grown a trich farm in the month prior. I know from experience.

These are the suits sold at home depot.

Don't waste your money. the PC cycle fucks the material up.
Genuine Tyvek coveralls are available at Lowe's

I've compared this tyvek against the postal grade and the house wrap grade under a microscope and found that the practical applications of the latter two are largely null as far as mushroom cultivation goes. Yes, you can get away with using them, but why risk the waste of time and money?
