That's because CIRAS is a full wrap vest. It's designed to have a ballistic soft armor wrap around the entire torso.
CIRAS' ideas can be found in The Interceptor vest (IBA aka OTV), US Army's IOTV, US Marine's MTV.
The current idea of armor vest is only protect you from the single fatal shot injury (ie protects the lungs and heart) everything else is left out for sake of mobility.
You'll see a lot of people running the plate carrier where the bottom of the vest stop before their belly button.
