Question about armor and penaltiesFollow

I'm trying out all different kinds of armor and I remember reading something on the SWG site about penalties for wearing armor and the kinds of armor there are. One thing is, how can use notice the penalty for wearing some armor, I can't tell any difference really, I look at my character skill mods and they're the same for everything I try. Also do you get penalties for wearing armor that is "intended" for other classes? I'm a 32 spy but I'm wearing 6000 resists Tantel recon armor, will I get a penalty if any at all? And what is multilayer armor, how can you tell if it is, I read it's a lot better than other armor. Thanks in advance.
