It's entirely possible there's a glitch in the new items, I was just speculating on what the cause could be if there was no glitch.

Short of an official answer, and lacking the skill and endurance to equip the new armor, speculation is all I can offer.

Edit: I forgot the new armor weighs 0.5kg more than the TiB2 too. I completely agree that it's a small percentage at their strength levels...
