Why are you vulnerable if you are not wearing the breastplate of righteousness?

The context of the passage where this is mentioned relates to spiritual warfare, with an analogy from the armor used by the typical Roman soldier of the day. Much could be said about the details of this particular illustration.
Basically, Satan exploits human weaknesses and sins for his own ends. He thus, being a clever observer of human nature leads people down the particular wrong path to which they are already inclined. Once led into sin, there is thus a 'chink in their armor' which enables the enemy to attack more easily and to pierce right into the heart, as in the actual physical warfare used as an illustration.
On the other hand, maintaining a 'breastplate of righteousness' means that one is trusting that God's word is true when it warns of avoiding various sins and that such involvement will have bad consequences. Yet the devil still whispers today, as he did in Eden 'you will not surely die.'
As for specifics, these are numerous and various. But simply any sin can become a snare, especially if persisted in and not repented of.
