maybe better off with shield from bullets and explosives? how awful to carry heavy weigh.
why not spend future IRON MAN technology for future soliders!
No matter how strong the soldiers are, most or some of them will have back pain later in life due to heavy backpack gear.

Right you are. Also, most "vests" leave a lot of body area exposed and vulnerable.Starry, I wore "bullet-proof" flak jackets many times, as they do offer some protection from pistol and submachine-gun bullets, most shotgun pellets, spent rifle bullets, and general flying debris from explosions.
Media and movies have fostered the myth that "bullet-proof" is like Superman's suit, but in my time (and at present for military and law enforcement issue) there is no helmet or vest or glass that will stop even medium rifle fire nor protect against the force of near explosions.
