Please, no critical crew members in red!
Comparing the two images I have seen of the helmet, I have to say that the one on the right just looks like a mock-up.
I think you're right. Photographer crewman said the one on the right was a jumpsuit.

Photographer crewman said the one on the right was a jumpsuit.Jumpsuit as in "a one-piece garment with sleeves and legs and typically without integral coverings for feet, hands or head". It was a description of the design, not an implication that it was just a mock up.And just to dive deeper into the Wikipedia rabbit hole, here is what it says about flight suit: "Its appearance is usually similar to a jumpsuit."
Also can the visor be open separately?
On reddit is a post from somebody who (claims to have) participated in the photo shoot:https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/6yxovo/elon_musk_shares_first_fullbody_photo_of_spacexs/dmrabouQuote Well, I'm flattered! But I'm not sure how much I can tell you – surely it wouldn't be worth an entire AMA. But let's see... the new space suit was definitely a jump suit, and definitely didn't let any air in. The man inside (he wore the thing for like 8 hours straight while we were shooting + lighting, no joke) needed the visor to be lifted after about every 5-10 shots so he could breathe. We had someone with a large ventilation tube on standby, to sort of shoot cool air into his face while we were going over the shots, adjusting his positioning, lighting, etc.

I'm reminded of this......

The Boeing suit showed them. Why weren't the photographers using those connectors??? Seems like the SpaceX suit has a longer way to go.
From reports, the space suit photo shoot lasted most of a day, so there are many pictures we haven't seen yet. This is just a tease.

The Boeing suit showed them. Why weren't the photographers using those connectors??? Seems like the SpaceX suit has a longer way to go."All" the connectors? If you take a good hard look at the Boeing suit you will notice exactly two connectors. One for air and one for comms. The latter is, from most views, pretty much hidden behind the left arm.What you failed to notice is that the Boeing suit is a fine example of functionality-over-looks. The SpaceX suit is different. It quite literally has looks-over-functionality in the sense that the cool-looking exterior is a shell over the actual pressure-suit. The connectors for the SpaceX suit are mounted on the actual pressure suit and are covered by a flap that is part of the exterior shell. You don't design a slick looking exterior with fancy helmet-to-match and than have that whole picture ruined by two connectors sticking out. Stop thinking the NASA/Boeing way and start thinking the Elon way.
Just curious, why a connector for comms? Aren't we a bit past that technology-wise?
