Isolation suit
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
An isolation suit is a type of clothing used by the Federation Starfleet. It is equipped with technology which makes the person wearing it practically invisible, except to properly equipped monitoring stations. Starfleet uses isolation suits when observing a pre-warp civilization in order to prevent cultural contamination, in accordance with the Prime Directive. (Star Trek: Insurrection)

[edit] Background
The Star Trek Fact Files state that isolation suits use holographic technology rather than a cloaking device to achieve their invisibility.
[edit] Apocrypha
In the non-canon novel Lesser Evil, the Trill Hiziki Gard used an isolation suit to evade capture after he assassinated the Bajoran First Minister, Shakaar Edon, on Deep Space 9.
