Portador de placa operacional liviano táctico Chase - LOPC

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.
