While I can GM fiat my players and to say when a particular armor gets a penalty or not, I (and they) prefer a system that we all understand, and I just seem to be missing it.

Encumbrance penalties include movement penalties.
Specific penalties to DX and skill use tend to get detailed either as specific to the item (e.g the EOD suit you mention) or by be referencing general rules that apply to particular items.
E.g. layering penalties giving DX pens, thick gloves, mittens or gauntlets giving levels of 'ham fisted', enclosing helmets giving no peripheral or even tunnel vision, and/or hard of hearing etc, etc.
Of course at higher TL's some of these effects are mitigated and/or don't appear for some items.
