Product Overview
The Trooper SA3100 is Chase Tactical's flagship front-and-rear soft armor solution — engineered at the intersection of certified protection, slim profile, and operational affordability. It is a purpose-built plate-carrier soft armor system intended to outfit law enforcement, corrections personnel, security professionals, and small agencies with NIJ-certified protection that integrates directly into the ACAP-RESCUE and CAP-RESCUE platforms.
At 0.287″ thick — roughly three stacked coins — these are among the slimmest NIJ 0101.06 Level IIIA panels available. The proprietary hybrid fiber architecture combines woven aramid layers (managing blunt force and distributing impact energy laterally) with unidirectional plies (stopping and deforming projectiles by orienting fiber strength toward the incoming threat). The resulting 1.32 psf areal density converts mass into protection efficiently.
Multi-hit capability is a real-world requirement: in an engagement, a single panel may absorb multiple rounds before the wearer can withdraw. The SA3100 is tested to maintain structural integrity through repeated impacts at NIJ-specified velocities, so protection does not degrade after the first hit. Combined with the 5-year ballistic warranty, agencies can field these panels with confidence across their full service life.
