The larger, bulky carriers like the US army's interceptor carrier still see use. But the plate coverage is still limited by the plates. though sometimes soft armour is added. The advantage of something like the interceptor carriers is the addition of the neck, groin, or arms. This may help the soldier survive a hit (doubtful though cause at close range even plates are not always effective) in tight spaces or a mortar shell landing near him. Obviously the legs are still very exposed but you are protecting the vital organs.
