I was kidding. A faraday suit is supposed to protect things from stray radio waves or something

How about mosquitos?

The term is "Faraday Shield." It can be something as simple as a covered, metal garbage can grounded with an attached wire running to a ground rod or with the can sitting on the concrete floor of the garage.

Anything you want to survive an EMP event can be stored inside the metal (covered) garbage can in a small plastic tote so the device protected is isolated electrically from the can. The concept is the garbage can sends the EMP's directly to ground.

Even a metallic screen can shield if it is a fairly small mesh. The openings in the mesh screen just need to be smaller than the wavelength of the EMP's.

It's not certain that all IC's would be fried but the damage could be very widespread.

I know a guy whose entire (large) house and attached garage is a Faraday Shield because the house is framed with steel, sided in metal, has a metal roof and is well grounded.

Any electronics inside the house, electrically isolated from the structure of the house, should survive an EMP event.
