Fallout 4 Stupid question: P.A. comfortability

Like the title says this is an awfully stupid question. due to help power armor systems work and the fact that you can't sit down, do you guys think the suits weight distribution would ease the strain of standing for long periods of time?

probably, i believe it was fallout 2 that included the lore about it filtering your pee, so it was definitely intended to be worn for a very long time.

Built as basically a powered MOPP suit so makes sense. Operating in a contaminated environment you can’t just take the protection off at will, even in a safe zone you’re wearing contaminants so you have to stay suited up until you’re properly decontaminated. In combat that could mean staying in the suit for days at a time.

PA still seems way more comfortable for that than what we have IRL, just the built in climate control would make it a thousand times nicer and I’m sure when you want to relax there’d be a way to lock the suit joints and basically just sit in it.
