Hirojani Andro's Beskar'gam
Hirojani Andro could be said to be nearly uniquely under-armoured for your typical mandalorian. Hiro's Beskar'gam, if you can call it that, consists of only two pieces worn with a Synthmesh jacket, gloves and boots.
Hiro's helmet was made for her when she was small and while she's refitted it a few times and painted it to her own liking in her clan's colours, it's still mostly the same frame that her adoptive mother made for her when inducting her into the creed. The gorget was made much later out of the remnants of her mother's beskar'gam, which had itself been mostly replacement pieces, but had still had one piece of pure Beskar allowing Andro to have a partial Beskar-alloy as the foundation of her gorget.
The gorget is designed to fit at the chin of the helm to create protection from the crown of the head to below the sternum. This way the armour protects the most vital of the organs but allows for maximum spine and abdominal movement, at the cost of being susceptible to gut shots. Similarly while the gorget flares out over the shoulders, aesthetially broadening and sharpening them, the armour is not angled correctly to function effectively in those areas.
LEGALITY
Mandalorian armour, though rare, is not illegal in most places. That said, wearing a full face helmet in public spaces is frowned upon, and often illegal in many core worlds, especially in or near government facilities- not to mention that many identification cards in various systems require a full face photo. This drives many strict adherents of "the way" to operate exclusively on the fringes of the galaxy.

This is a lighter and mechanically generic suit of Mandalorian armour purely for my own aesthetic uses.
