Low-Vis Plate Carrier Elite (LVPC-E)

The LVPC-E is Chase Tactical's low-visibility carrier, and at 1.25 lb empty it lands in the same weight class as the slick carriers that cost twice as much. The front face is clean, with a large hook-and-loop field instead of PALS webbing, so a placard mounts flat and nothing snags under a jacket.

The cummerbund is where this carrier separates from a plain slick. Rather than a skeletal elastic strap, the LVPC-E uses a removable double-layer Mil-Spec elastic cummerbund with three internal pouches per side. That means magazines ride inside the cummerbund against the body rather than on an external placard, which keeps the front profile flat while still carrying a working load. For anyone whose reason for buying a low-vis carrier is concealment under a coat, internal storage is the feature that actually preserves the silhouette.

Plate fitment covers 10x12 shooter and swimmer cut plates along with SAPI S and M, so the common civilian plate sizes drop in without a sizing chart consultation. The interior uses moisture-wicking spacer mesh front and rear, and two vertical female clips handle auxiliary equipment.

Materials are Mil-Spec IR treated 500D Cordura with bar tacking and reverse stitching at the stress points. Chase Tactical treats all fabrics, webbing, and plastic hardware at source to hold down the IR signature, which matters if the carrier will ever be worn under night vision. Colors run Black, Coyote, MultiCam, Ranger Green, and MultiCam Black, and the carrier is covered by a lifetime limited warranty.
