The SPI armour Mark I, was used by the Spartan-IIIs of [[Alpha Company]]. It featured hardened plates and photo-reactive panels. Though advanced compared to standard UNSC infantry armour, it could only take a few glancing blows before failing<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]] page 14</ref>. The armour featured full body armour 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 armour’s endurance of 90 minutes. It is also equipped with a cushioning layer of liquid nanocrystals that provided more ballistic protection than three centimetres 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 [[Elite]]s Camouflage technologies. This was because the SPARTAN III program probably didn't allow enough time, to get the photo-reactive panels working properly. Another concern was the budget spent in making the suits. | The SPI armour Mark I, was used by the Spartan-IIIs of [[Alpha Company]]. It featured hardened plates and photo-reactive panels.
