The Robert A Heinlein novel "Star Ship Troopers" has his Soldiers wearing Powered Armour.
No wonder they called his work "Future History" not Sci-Fi.
From Wikipedia.
The novel Starship Troopers in 1959 details the tactics involved with powered armor. It was also apparently the first work of fiction that widely popularized the concept. The 1997 film adaptation, however, did not use powered armor, opting instead for the Troopers to use simple (but clearly ineffective) body armor. In contrast, the 1999 television adaptation remained far more faithful to Heinlein's original vision.
