Snowtrooper armor

Snowtrooper armor was a modified variant of Stormtrooper armor.

Although well adapted to the intense cold found on planets such as Hoth], [[Toola and Rhen Var, the leg armor was less strong than the standard armor. This was done so a Snowtrooper could walk faster in the weather. The armor was equipped more powerful heating and personal enviroment units. The eighteen-piece outer shell also had an airtight fabric oversuit for more protection from the cold. For breathing in dangerous or cold weather, a breather hood not only enveloped the faceplate but fed into the suit liner as well. Each trooper had terrain-grip boots, in addition to a standard issue utility belt that contained high-tension wire, Grappling hooks, ration packs, additional Blaster ammunuition, ion flares, as well as a survival kit.

The helmet featured built-in snow goggles that were polarized. The chest plate was constructed of a Plastoid composite armor. Close to the center was the location of the controls for the entirely self sufficent Life support systems. What was included was a Power cell monitor, the controls for the heater of the suit, and an external temperature monitor. The backpack housed the communications unit, the main Power cell, a Homing beacon, and the main heating unit. The backpack had the additional ability as operating as a power source for other equipment. Because of the Armor, a Snowtrooper could survive for a maximum of two weeks in even the most harshest enviroments on their internal supplies and suit power alone. The Armor also included heated white pants with pockets.
