The sad thing is they pretty much underused that armor, and it was most effective, there was a dude i want to say in season 3 who was immune to zat gun shots and it was the armor he was wearing which might be the first version of this energy resistant armor tech and possibly where Anubis obtained this armor to reengineer, the guy was an bounty hunter who's race was immune to goa'uld implantations.
Anyway going back to the armor topic, i just thought it was weird that the Ori didn't attempt to upgrade their gear when they came across superior gear or tech, i mean it only makes sense that's what you would do to always keep yourself at the top of power, they did it with the stargate when they created an super gate but not much else.
I mean the SGC could have just as easily done the same thing, they had a suit of this armor as well, and they could have figured it out and created armor specialized for their SG teams.
And it's not like the armor was destroyed where they couldn't obtain it and figure it out.
