Unlike in Assassin's Creed 2, your health increases when you craft items and all the outfits you can obtain seem to be just cosmetic.
Since the Mayan/Templar Armour are equipped from the same menu as all the other outfits, do they have any in-game benefits?

The Mayan and Templar armors do give special benefits.
- The Mayan Armor deflects all ranged attacks
- The Templar Armor reduces all damage by 25%
other armors that have benefits
- Stealth outfit - you can hide better, enemies won't detect you as easily.
- Hunter outfit - reduces range of detection from animals
The other armors are all cosmetic, though.
They are not purely cosmetic.
1. Mayan Outfit
Ability to help deflect incoming metal projectiles (bullets).
2. Templar Armor
Increased resistance against enemy attacks.
3. Stealth Outfit
Decreased detection of enemies (makes you more stealthy).
In addition, the hunter outfit reduces range of detection of animals.
