The M52B Body Armor[verification needed] is the standard issue body armor that the Marines use for protection.
Sported by Marines, the M52B Body Armor, introduced in Halo 2, features smaller armor plating and a new color scheme in addition to both minor and major aesthetic changes such as the addition of numerous pockets to the front of the chest piece, assumed to be used for carrying supplies. It is still not yet known if there are any major tactical differences, due to a lack of relevant information released concerning the specifications of the Marine body armor. In Halo 3, the original Halo: Combat Evolved design is most prevalent, with more armor plating than the Halo 2 variant. This variant still grants the Humans no energy shielding, although they can take a good deal of punishment before being penetrated. This Armor is very weak to Flood infection forms, and they can infect a Marine very easily.
M52B armor crates of 12 units weigh 173 lbs altogether. Assuming the weight does not include the crate, that would indicate that the M52B armor could weigh about 14.5 lbs.
