Though advanced compared to standard UNSC infantry armor, it could only take a few glancing blows before failing<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]] page 14</ref>. The armor featured full body armor with an enclosed helmet and [[HUD]], and a supply of breathable atmosphere; though only enough for [[List of "Seven" references in Halo|7]] minutes, compared to the MJOLNIR armor's endurance of 90 minutes. It is also equipped with a cushioning layer of liquid nanocrystals that provided more ballistic protection than three centimeters of [[wikipedia:Kevlar|Kevlar]] diamond weave without the bulk. The featured photo-reactive panels, gave the Spartans of Alpha Company active camouflage. The camouflage patterns, however, shifted irregularly and imperfectly, which made the photo-reactive panels unmatched against the Covenant Elites Camouflage technologies. This was because the SPARTAN III program didn't allow enough time to get the photo-reactive panels working properly. | |||

*Some screenshots released by Bungie lead to fans speculating that they would be able to use SPI armor in [[Halo 3]]. However, the armor was later determined to be [[Mark VI MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/V variant]]. The name and changes in appearance are purely cosmetic, however, having no impact on gameplay. This has been confirmed by [[Bungie]]. | *Some screenshots released by Bungie lead to fans speculating that they would be able to use SPI armor in [[Halo 3]].
