"Armor". It's a book by John Steakley. The armour in question (spelled "Armor" because he's an American author) is a set of scout armour, basically a form of fast power armour. The novel starts with a single character dropped on an alien world to fight "ants". They look vaguely like ants (though they aren't insectoid, if I remember correctly), operate with a hive mind, and overwhelm their enemies with numbers. The novel then changes point of view and takes you to an entirely different location in the same universe, but the "armour" shows up again.

It's an interesting book, though it would require some work to convert it to SG2. The only other book of his that I know of is _Vampire$_, which was made into a movie by John Carpenter (and inspired a sequel).
