The white armor is never explained. It doesn't seem to protect anyone from anything, even including being punched. Why bother with it?
It is supposed to be reflective or ablative armour/armor. I think it does get a mention in part 7; but yes, fucking useless.
[Reveal] Spoiler: from the game, Traveller:
Ablat (TL 9): A cheap alternative to Reflec, ablat armour is made from a material that ablates (vaporises) when hit by laser fire. Each laser hit on ablat reduces its armour value (versus lasers) by one, but the armour is cheap and easily replaceable.
Reflec (TL 10): Reflec armour is a flexible plastic suit with layers of reflective material and heat-dispersing gel. It is highly effective against lasers, but provides no protection against other attacks. Reflec can be worn with other armour.
