Most bulletproof vest offer protection from small arms (pistol) bullets, and shotgun pellets. Since armies typically use RIFLES, the weight of a bulletproof vest that can stop a rifle bullet is very heavy. Typically, these vests will have a large plate (ballistic steel or ceramic) that covers vital organs in front, and another plate that covers vital areas in back. Some also have plates for the left & right sides. These plates weigh 10-20 pounds each. It would be impractical for a soldier to wear all of this extra weight (in addition to their typically burden). Even if a soldier were to wear a bulletproof vest that protected their thoracic & abdominal organs, they could still be shot next to these plate, or in the neck/head. Weighing the pros & cons of wearing such heavy armor, most would prefer wearing lighter armor that protects against small arm & shrapnel, instead of the very heavy armor that still only protects a small area of the body.
