The SPI Armor Mark I was used by the Spartan-IIIs of [[SPARTAN-III Alpha Company|Alpha Company]]. It featured hardened plates and photo-reactive panels. 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> It featured full body armor with an enclosed helmet and [[Heads Up Display]], and a supply of breathable atmosphere; though only enough for [[List of "seven" references in Halo|seven]] minutes, compared to the MJOLNIR armor’s oxygen supply of ninety minutes. It was 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 a rough equivalent to active camouflage. The camouflage patterns, however, shifted irregularly and imperfectly, which made the photo-reactive panels inferior compared to the Covenant's active camouflage technologies. | The SPI Armor Mark I was used by the Spartan-IIIs of [[SPARTAN-III Alpha Company|Alpha Company]].
