There has been an incredible change in pressure / EVA suits. They have become far more comfortable to wear, extended life support, and give the wearer more flexibility. You have to remember that an EVA suit meant for use in open space is different from those required for EVA on a planet or satellite. Those designs have focused on hard shells, multi-facet joints and in the lunar environment, greater resistance to lunar dust.

Here is what the company that built the Apollo A7L and A7LB suits is doing:
