High profile plate carriers refer to those products that are meant to be visible and thus offer more modulation and adjustability compared to low-profile models.
While a proprietary name of a particular brand, currently is has become customary to call all minimalistic lightweight plate carriers as jumpable carriers.
The US Armed Forces, as well as multiple other militaries around the world, currently use the Interceptor Multi-Threat Body Armor System, but will be issued Modular Scalable Vests starting 2020.
