Not including Shepard, they are all renegade - prepared to shoot first and ask questions later. Of course they wore more armour - the situaitons they'd put themselves in meant they'd get shot at a lot.
Saren - I don't need to explain.
Nihlus - was chased by Samara, whose job it is to hunt the 'unjust', and only escapes by creating a situation where an innocent could have died.
Tela Vasir - helped blow up a building of innocents, or at the very least worked alongside the people that did that.
Ash may yet turn out to be a more diplomatic Spectre. Her outfit seems more like the Cerberus Officer's outfit than anything else, and I always thought that looked pretty proffessional.
Really, it's not because they were more renegades that they had heavier armor or heavier protection like Adept Shep and his/hers biotic barriers. No, it's because Spectre's needs their armor, because they are usually sent to situations, where diplomacy had already failed. After all Spectre's are Councils first and last line of defence. Yes, diplomacy could still be way to solve the problem, but usually in situations where Spectre's are sent, those people won't first ask questions. They will shoot first and that's why you need to be prepared and real armor for people like Ashley is the only way. She is not biotic, which would provide you extra armor compensating the lack of heavier armoring.
Even if we have full paragon Shep and that way diplomatic Spectre, you would usually need to fight a lot, before you can even get in those diplomatic situations, which means you need your armor and/or biotic skills. So, even with diplomacy, you would need to be prepared for fight.
And this Ash's newest outfit is not something you should use in fight. Now I could actually accept this Ash outfit more openly, if she would be biotic. That way she would still have her barriers. But because she is soldier, she have to relay in armors, which she clearly lacks with this newest outfit.
Using something like that outfit would be extremely unpractical, OOC for Ash and most of all it's downright idiotic to go battle in suit like that. It's practically suicide.
I mean seriously, even Liara had better armor and she is biotic, who are supposed to be lighter armoured.
No, BW better to make a real armor for Ash and if they want to keep this current, then it's should be something she would wear in Normandy, except it would still be OOC for her.
