It is a trade off between mobility, endurance and protection.
Too much weight: you can’t last long before exhaustion
Too much coverage: you can’t move because the armor blocks you
Too light armor: you die IF you are hit.
For example: specialists that go disarm bombs don’t need mobility or endurance, and they are covered with massive full body armor.
Opposite: a scout, he need to carry food and water for days. Armor can be the last priority
