"Do not mistake your rank and number for superiority. The oldest child may learn from the youngest."
Just an addendum to the above:
There is no consistent depiction of the SO's 'armor' outside of the games themselves. Within the games, the sprites used to represent the SO make it clear little armor is actually used. This is explained canonically by the shield system employed.
Outside of the games themselves, the best, canonical depictions of the SO were done by Craig Mullins (whose gallery Yuke links to above). Specifically this picture remains the most faithful to the original sprites.
Armor was added or taken away in many of the concept prints and chapter screens created by Mullins, and while they look fantastic and certainly act to make the character more masculine, they aren't consistent with the games. Though if you are someone who prefers up-armored SOs, this image (also by Mullins) would be a good compromise between accuracy and aesthetic.
And if you want to remain true to the games? Slip into a wetsuit, throw on some knee-high boots, and flop your helmet over that melon of yours.
