Given that it's noticeably smaller than earlier spacesuits, and probably contains heavy-duty oxygen tanks, cooling and heating systems, a water supply, life-support monitoring, a honking big battery, communications systems, plus redundancies for safety... it's probably a huge accomplishment in miniaturization.
Those look like knee/elbow pads. Probably a tougher material.

Quite a bit smaller than the ones Apollo used, from the looks of it.
But why grey? Color doesn't make them tougher.
Thankfully it's much easier to lug on the moon or in microgravity.
"The white material also helps mitigate lunar dust by making it easier to see on the fabric."
