The Chase Tactical LVPC Level IIIA Soft Armor Panels (SKU: CT-3A300-LVPC-PB) are a matched pair of 10"×12" Shooter's Cut soft armor inserts purpose-designed for the Chase Tactical LVPC plate carrier. Weighing 3.5 lbs per set and certified to NIJ 0101.06 Level IIIA, these panels are constructed from a hybrid matrix of advanced PEUD Dyneema and patented woven aramid fibers — providing certified multi-hit handgun protection against .357 SIG, .44 Magnum, and 9mm threats.

Product Overview
Chase Tactical's LVPC Level IIIA Soft Armor Panels are engineered as an exact-fit complement to the Chase Tactical LVPC carrier — ensuring the ballistic insert sits precisely within the plate pocket without gaps, shifting, or fit compromise that can occur when using generic panels in a carrier optimized for specific dimensions. The CT-3A300-LVPC-PB designation indicates these panels are produced in the Shooter's Cut 10"×12" format to match the LVPC's Regular-size plate pocket geometry.
The ballistic matrix inside these panels combines Chase Tactical's advanced PEUD Dyneema fiber — an ultra-high-performance polyethylene fiber — with a patented woven aramid component. This hybrid construction leverages the complementary strengths of both fiber types: UHMWPE/Dyneema contributes its exceptional weight-to-performance ratio and moisture resistance, while the aramid layer provides additional multi-hit structural integrity and energy absorption. The result is a panel that is both lighter than all-aramid alternatives and more robust than all-PE alternatives at the same protection level.
At NIJ 0101.06 Level IIIA, these panels are tested to stop .357 SIG FMJ at representative velocities and .44 Magnum SJHP rounds, as well as 9mm FMJ and other common handgun calibers that fall below these benchmark threats. The panels are listed on the National Institute of Justice's Compliant Products List (CPL), providing independent verification of compliance beyond the manufacturer's own test data. Both DEA and FBI standards are met or exceeded, making these panels appropriate for federal law enforcement applications.
Ballistic Material Technology
- PEUD Dyneema fiber: Ultra-high-molecular-weight PE fiber with tensile strength among the highest of any commercially available material
- Patented woven aramid layer: Complementary energy-dispersal network providing multi-hit structural integrity
- Sonobond sealed: Ultrasonic welding at seams ensures water cannot wick into the ballistic core through stitch points
- Water-resistant RipStop cover: Exterior cover resists moisture intrusion and abrasion during field use
- 0.1595" thickness: Ultra-thin profile for maximum comfort within carrier without adding bulk
Compatibility & Application
While designated for the Chase Tactical LVPC, these 10"×12" Shooter's Cut panels are dimensionally compatible with any plate carrier pocket designed for this standard size — including the Chase Tactical DOS, QRPC, and other 10"×12" carriers in the Chase Tactical lineup, as well as many third-party carriers accepting this format. For operators transitioning between multiple carrier platforms, the panel can follow the mission rather than being tied to a single carrier.
