The helmet's appearance is much like that of the marine armor, but is fully encased and has a wide "v" shaped visor that is reflective blue. The helmet is flat black. Body suits are matte black, form fitting, lightweight polymer body armor. The body armor has a black and gray camouflage pattern on the limbs, and flat black on the torso and boots. The armor has a total of six pouches on the waist, four smaller pouches on the chest, and two large holster-style pockets on each hip. The back piece is shaped like a small backpack, and contains a pressurized air tank that can supply the user with clean air for a total of 15 minutes. Below the back piece, there is a small solid sheath that can hold a [[Combat Knife|combat knife]]. | The helmet's appearance is much like that of the marine armor, but is fully encased and has a wide "v" shaped visor that is reflective blue.

Unfortunately, the suits are uncomfortable over prolonged periods of time and tricky to repair in the field. Also its somewhat ineffective in desert, forest, jungle, and arctic fighting, for the black color of the uniform is very visible. The suits are probably suited for only night, urban, and space operations. | |||
