Product Overview

The MEAC Level IIIA Soft Armor Panels are the OEM-matched soft-armor solution for the Chase Tactical MEAC (Modular Enhanced Armor Carrier), a full-featured carrier for hard and soft armor in demanding environments. The CT-3A300-MEAC-PB is a Shooter's Cut 10″×12″ format engineered to the MEAC plate-pocket tolerances for optimal contact, minimal shift, and full coverage.

The MEAC carrier incorporates a removable triple-magazine front panel, MOLLE cummerbund, padded adjustable shoulder straps, spacer-mesh liner, drag handle, and an extensive placard system. Loaded with these panels front and rear, it provides NIJ 0101.06 Level IIIA handgun protection as a base layer; operators add hard plates over the soft panels for rifle-rated coverage.

The shared CT-3A300 matrix between the MEAC and LVPC panel sets uses the same Dyneema/aramid hybrid core for predictable certified performance across the Chase lineup. Sonobond ultrasonic seam sealing and the water-resistant RipStop cover keep moisture from compromising the ballistic fibers through rain, sweat, and field exposure.

.357 SIG FMJ — NIJ 0101.06 Level IIIA primary test threat
.44 Magnum SJHP — NIJ 0101.06 Level IIIA primary test threat
9mm FMJ — standard service-pistol round
.40 S&W — law-enforcement standard handgun caliber

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between the MEAC and LVPC soft armor panels?

Both the CT-3A300-MEAC-PB (MEAC panels) and CT-3A300-LVPC-PB (LVPC panels) use the same core Dyneema/aramid hybrid ballistic matrix at the same NIJ 0101.06 Level IIIA certification level. The primary difference is the carrier-specific fit designation — MEAC panels are dimensionally matched to the MEAC carrier's plate pocket geometry, while LVPC panels are matched to the LVPC pocket. Both sets are 10"×12" Shooter's Cut and will often be interchangeable, but ordering the carrier-specific variant ensures optimal fit.

Can these panels be used in the MEAC-R releasable carrier?

Yes. The Chase Tactical MEAC-R (Modular Enhanced Armor Releasable) carrier is designed with compatible plate pocket dimensions for 10"×12" Shooter's Cut soft armor panels. The CT-3A300-MEAC-PB panels are dimensionally appropriate for the MEAC-R's front and rear plate pockets. Confirm the specific pocket depth in your MEAC-R variant to ensure the combined soft + hard plate stack fits comfortably if adding hard plates.

Are these panels certified to stop rifle rounds?

No. NIJ Level IIIA is the highest handgun-only protection rating and does not provide rated protection against rifle calibers. These panels stop .357 SIG FMJ, .44 Magnum SJHP, 9mm FMJ, and other handgun threats tested under NIJ 0101.06. For rifle protection, Level III or Level IV hard armor plates must be added to the carrier in conjunction with or instead of the soft panels.

How is the water resistance achieved on these panels?

Chase Tactical uses Sonobond ultrasonic sealing technology to bond the panel seams without needle penetration — traditional stitched seams create channels through which moisture can wick into the ballistic core. The Sonobond process fuses the cover material at the molecular level, creating a water-resistant seam. An additional water-resistant RipStop exterior cover provides surface-level moisture resistance during rain exposure or sweat-intensive wear.

What is the service life of these soft armor panels?

Chase Tactical warrants the ballistic material for 5 years from date of purchase, which aligns with the industry-standard expected service life for quality soft armor under normal storage and wear conditions. Panels should be stored flat, away from direct heat and UV exposure, and inspected periodically for cover damage, delamination, or compression. Panels that have sustained a ballistic impact should be removed from service regardless of visual condition.
