Overall, this armor system was crafted under the request for something well-balanced and suited for high-mobility situations. This means two things: few strengths and a lighter weight than most other armor systems. The primary construction is a layer of beskar and other metals to create the plating that composes most of the armor. Beneath that is a reinforced synthcloth tunic and trousers, typically for wear when Marcus doesn't desire to wear the full armor system. And even further beneath that is a skin-tight armorweave thinsuit that combines a variety of useful features such as temperature regulators and being vacuum-sealed.
The support systems range in variety and use as well. A jetpack is equipped, a utility belt sports a small shield generator, several energy sinks and combat de-ionizers are present, and auxiliary power cells can be located near the right knee-guard.
In terms of strengths, the armored plating is of the highest quality. Mandalorian iron is revered in its durability, not even lightsabers can penetrate the plating. Due to the way the plates are situated, weight is always evenly distributed and mobility is enhanced by allowing ample freedom to key joints while vital areas are all protected by plating. The versatility is also a strength, allowing Marcus to adapt to a variety of situations.
Weakness-wise, the armor is only extremely durable where the plating is. The tunic and underlay cannot stop ballistics, blunt force, or lightsabers. It's a very minimalist design that plays on Marcus's strengths but much of the armor system is mostly unprotected and therefore vulnerable to several methods of attack.
In short, this set of beskar'gam is traditional, largely untampered with, and boasts only minor enhancements in the layering concept and other electronic doo-dads. It was built to offer great protection to his vital's while allowing much needed freedom of space for his style of high-mobility combat.
