The Snifin Combat Armorsuit or more commonly known as Clone Armor are a series of military wear originally created be worn by Yoshi Clone Troopers but over time, multiple variations were developed to be worn by the SWDF and the Cyber Bell Vanguard. Due to it's huge popularity and extremely realiable, many factions tried to copy the armorsuit's technology such as COUE.

Characteristics
Phase-I Armorsuit
Influenced by Mack and designed by Sneezier himself, the basic armor of the first design became composed of twenty form-fitting plates of lightweight plastoid-alloy composite, sealed to a black bodysuit and weighed just under 70 pounds. Because the armor would be used by an army of physically identical yoshi clones, only one size was needed. It loosely resembled Galactic Federation Armorsuits in the 19th century. The austere sensibilities of 26th Popstar society and Yoth's cultural design resulted in the blindingly pristine white state of each set of armor, although command units originally had stripes of different colors, depending on their rank (gold meaning commander, red meaning captain, blue meaning lieutenant, and green meaning sergeant).
The armor was heavy, uncomfortable, and not very well liked by clone troopers; it was also not very resilient against concentrated fire; hence it being often referred to by most people as a "body bucket" or "body coffin". Its inconvenience was due to the Sneezier's knowledge, or lack thereof, of Yoshi anatomy. It did, however, have coolant systems to prevent overheating and to vent out excessive body heat and sweat, and also included enhanced breathing filters inside the helmet. The armor could take some modular attachments, like a backpack. The armorsuit also resisted vacuum environments, allowing the trooper to continue to fight outside of spacecraft for a time (though recovery was needed).
Some armorsuits, depending on what planet the trooper was stationed, were customized to fit the planet's conditions. For example, water planets such as had water resistant armor with an aerodynamic design, and advanced breathing equipment, for underwater. Some trooper's armor had symbols to designate the squad that they were in.
As months passed, it was mainly replaced by Phase II armor. The the phase-I quickly became obsolete in the Dark Ages and it was sold to various factions such as militas.
Phase-II Armorsuit
Improved from the Phase-I armor, the Phase-II Armorsuit incorporated all of its predecessor's systems in addition to polarized lenses, padding, sensors, and stronger, lighter armor plates. It could also support more modular attachments, making it superior to its predecessor. It was far more comfortable for clones to wear than its predecessor, since Sneezier become more familiar with yoshi anatomy. Unlike the Phase I armor, color patterns was used to denote rank.
It was introduced roughly around after the Dark Ages, and slowly replaced Phase I armor in the months following. Phase II armor was the basis of the Phase-III and its cousin, the Neo-Flak Armor later worn by the soldiers of the SWDF. Another variant of the Phase II armor was the early version of the Cyber Knight Armor subseries.
The new armor incorporated a more advanced air filtration and oxygen supply system, advanced visor lenses, and an annunciator to make speech more comprehensible. In addition, the boots were magnetized and incorporated a micro grav-field alternator to ensure stability. Camouflage was sometimes used on Phase II armor.
