PRODUCT INFORMATION

Chase Tactical · Plate Carrier

Chase Tactical Lightweight Operational Plate Carrier - LOPC

A full-featured plate carrier that weighs about 2.0 lb unloaded, cut from Mil-Spec IR-treated 500D Cordura. Padded adjustable shoulder straps with routing channels, a breathable mesh MOLLE cummerbund, a stowable drag handle and a removable MOLLE clip placard. It is a carrier: No ballistic plates or soft armor are included.

Carrier weight is the part of the system you can actually choose. Two pounds instead of four is two pounds you get to spend on plates, water or ammunition — and it is felt in hour six, not hour one.

What's Included

One carrier per order, in the color you select. Nothing about what ships changes with color — only the fabric colorway does. Tap a section to read what is in the package, and what is not.

Plate sizes quoted are carrier pocket compatibility, not a protection rating: The plates you put in it carry the NIJ level, the standard and the edition, and they are a separate purchase with separate paperwork.

▾Who Carries It

Tactical teams and patrol rifle officers who want operational features at a low base weight · Tactical medics and Rescue Task Force members who need shoulder real estate for tourniquets and comms routing while carrying plates · Military and SOF users building around a placard system · Agencies standardizing a carrier and issuing armor separately.

Buy the armor deliberately and buy it second. This is a carrier and nothing else: The protection level, the test standard and its edition, and whether a plate is rated stand-alone or only in conjunction with soft armor are all properties of the plates you choose, and none of them are established by the carrier. Confirm the plate size your carrier takes — this is the Regular, cut for 10 in. x 12 in. — before ordering plates.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much does the Chase Tactical LOPC weigh?

The Chase Tactical Lightweight Operational Plate Carrier (LOPC) weighs approximately 2.0 lbs unloaded. This is the carrier shell only — plates, pouches, and accessories add to total system weight. The 2.0 lb target was achieved through the use of lightweight breathable mesh on the cummerbund and carefully trimmed Cordura body panels while retaining all operational features including drag handle, padded shoulder straps, and MOLLE platform.

What makes the LOPC shoulder straps different?

The LOPC shoulder straps incorporate both standard nylon webbing and elastic webbing at the strap tops. This dual-webbing design allows routing of tourniquets, hydration tubes, radio antennas, comm wires, V-Lites, and strobe lights directly into the strap surface — making the shoulder area a functional gear-routing zone rather than wasted real estate. The straps are also padded and fully adjustable for length and position.

Is the LOPC cummerbund interchangeable?

Yes. The Chase Tactical LOPC features an interchangeable cummerbund system. The mesh cummerbund can be removed and replaced with alternative Chase Tactical cummerbund configurations — including rigid cummerbunds for side-plate mounting or alternative soft armor integrations. The hook-and-loop attachment system ensures secure retention during wear while allowing tool-free swaps.

What plate sizes does the LOPC accept?

The Regular size LOPC accommodates 10"×12" hard armor plates (Shooter's or SAPI Cut), which is the most common plate format. The Extra Large variant accommodates 11"×14" plates for larger operators requiring expanded coverage. Both front and rear plate pockets are designed for hard armor inserts; soft armor backers of equivalent dimensions can also be used.

Does the LOPC come in Multicam and IR-treated versions?

Yes. The LOPC is available in Black, Ranger Green, Coyote Tan, Multicam, and Multicam Black colorways. All versions use Mil-Spec IR-treated 500D Cordura fabric, where the infrared-reducing treatment is applied at the fabric source for a consistent, durable low-IR signature — a requirement for military and law enforcement operations involving night-observation devices.
