When ordering outside of United States of America, the recipient is responsible for assuring the product can be legally imported to the destination country.

The recipient is the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are imposed once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be fulfilled by the recipient. 221B Tactical has no control over these charges, nor can predict what they may be.

Customs, duties, and taxes are non-refundable: so a shipment that is refused because of unexpected import fees, the cost of the original shipping and any return shipping charges will not be refunded. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you should contact your local customs office for more information. When customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates.

To avoid a delay in receiving your order from customs, we strongly suggest:

  • Providing a phone number where you can be reached by customs when your product arrives. This phone number will be listed on the commercial invoice so customs can reach you to clear your order.
  • Please do not refuse a shipment or ignore requests from carriers regarding duty and/or tax liability charges. Be aware that most carriers will hold a shipment for 5 days after arrival in your country before they return it to the sender.

We do not refund original shipping charges for goods that are refused for delivery at customs.

WHY YOU NEED THIS

You want to be cool, dry and comfortable while wearing body armor on the job. You know that when you're comfortable, you'll be more focused. And when you're more focused, you're ultimately safer. You also don't want to have to deal with sweat soaked body armor, foul odors and potential skin infections from soaking in your own sweat all day long. That's why we developed The Maxx-Dri-Dri Vest 3.0

"An absolute game changer & extremely durable. I purchased what I believe to be the 3.0 in 2017 and it was an absolute game changer. I've never had another heat-rash since owning it! It also held up great and while I just replaced it with the new 5.0 (simply for design improvements and bigger size) there was nothing wrong with the 3.0." —Warren (April 28, 2024)

 

HOW IT WORKS

The Maxx-Dri Vest 3.0 creates FULL 360 degree separation (space) between your body and your armor vest, allowing heat and moisture (perspiration) to escape. This keeps you drier and cooler in the heat, warmer and drier in the cold, MORE FOCUSED AND SAFER.

The design structure of The Maxx-Dri Vest also helps evenly distribute the weight of your body armor vest, creating an anti-gravity effect which makes it feel lighter and more comfortable on your body.

The Maxx-Dri Vest 3.0 provides you with the best body armor vest ventilation and comfort.  An investment with benefits you'll realize throughout your entire career.

SIZING

Sizing for the Maxx-Dri Vest 3.0 is now better than ever. With the fully adjustable hook and loop side-closure system, you can adjust the fit of your Maxx-Dri Vest to the exact snugness you desire. NOTE: We recommend that the Maxx-Dri Vest be worn like your body armor; lightly-snug...not tight. 

HOW DO I WASH IT?

To wash your Maxx-Dri Vest simply machine-wash on the "Gentle" cycle and let it hang-dry....DO NOT put your Maxx-Dri Vest in the dryer. It should hang-dry within just a few minutes. Others have reported they simply rinse it in the shower in their locker rooms following their shift and then leave it to dry on a hanger in their lockers. The next time they arrive for work it's fresh and ready to wear!

Great piece of equipment

This product works great

I have had it on with a week straight of 98 plus weather and you can definitely feel the air move through it. Like others have said shoulder Velcro needs to be a bit longer. Doesn’t quite reach around my vest but I tend to wear my vest super tight and I’m not getting too much movement between the 2 vests. Highly recommend especially if you carry a lot of gear on the vest.

It works!

I've worn maxx-dri vest for three ( 12hr) shifts so far. It fits great and the straps at the top secures to my ballistic vest straps. I've already noticed that I'm not getting the itchy heat rash on my core. The maxx-dri really helps a lot by keeping my ballistics vest off of undershirt. It was 92 degrees yesterday and I was out of the car a lot on day shift..I had one tiny sweat spot on my undershirt after 12 hrs. You cam feel the heat leaving near the front of my neck. I'm still curious as to how this works! I've passed on your company information to my department. I also appreciate how fast that I received my order. Great job, and your business has my support! Stay safe out there everyone. Each day is getting crazier than the last! -2918

Thanks for your review, Todd! This will be helpful to anyone who reads it. Glad it's working well for you. We appreciate your support and having you within our 221B family. Keep safe and well!

Good

Being a tall not so slim man. A chubby guy ok it fits good the problem is when you wear it it likes to ride up and makes it uncomfortable to wear. If there would be a way to accommodate big guys that would be great. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO GET IT IS A LIFE CHANGER. No more sticky shirts it’s one of the best things I’ve purchased in a long time.

Thanks for your review. With our newest version 5.0, fitment is a bit easier for big and tall men. Make sure you use the shoulder straps to attach to your carrier vest to keep them 'married' to each other for best fit. Thank you again!
