It did, however, have coolant systems to prevent overheating, and also included enhanced breathing filters inside the T-visor. Its inconvenience was due to the Kaminoans’ lack of knowledge of Human anatomy. Hence it being often referred to by non-clone GAR personnel as a “body bucket”. The armor was heavy, uncomfortable, and not very well liked by clone troopers. It was introduced at the same time as the first batch of clone troopers, which were deployed at the Battle of Geonosis. Sometime prior to the Battle of Mon Cala, it was replaced by Phase II clone trooper armor, which was more comfortable and capable of supporting more specialized equipment. The armorsmiths of Kamino designed Phase I armor after the Mandalorian armor worn by the clone soldiers’ template, the bounty hunter Jango Fett. Despite its advantages, the Phase I armor proved uncomfortable for the troopers to fit in, which was due to the Kaminoans’ unfamiliarity with human ergonomics. Its design was reminiscent of the Mandalorian armor, including the helmet with a distinctive T-shaped visor.
