Light armor suit
From StarCraft Wiki
The light armor suit is a scaled down version of the standard protoss power suit. The suit provides limited protection against small-arms. It may be configured with full life support, limited nuclear/biological/chemical (NBC) protection, and a transceiver to communicate without telepathy.[1]
As worn by high templar, light armor suits tend to be less bulky but more ornate. This is noticeable in the appearance of the bracers which manifest the psionic blades. The suits are also platinum, rather than bronze, in color.[2]
Teleportation mechanisms are built into light armor suits. When a protoss wearing one of these suits nears death, they disappear in a flash of bright light as the user seemingly disappears to a place of safety.[3] These mechanisms can also be activated manually.[4]
