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

Many of us wear expensive "moisture wicking" shirts beneath our body armor to help deal with excessive sweat.  Those shirts, however, are designed for professional athletes to be worn exposed to fresh air...NOT TO BE COVERED by heavy body armor. They are designed to wick moisture away from your body so it can more readily evaporate into the atmosphere.  But, the moment you don your body armor, you COMPLETELY negate the ability of these shirts to do their job. Instead, they actually wick your sweat directly INTO your body armor. That's why when you remove your body armor at the end of your shift, despite wearing these expensive under armor undershirts, your body armor is soaked and STINKS AND your undershirt is soaked and stuck to your skin...causing you to have to literally peel it off your body.

HOW IT WORKS

The Maxx-Dri Vest 3.0 SL (Super Light) provides that little bit of separation you need between you body armor and your undershirt which allows cool, fresh air in to circulate 360° around your entire body. With a slimmer design profile than our 2.0 and 3.0 models, it still allows heat and moisture to more readily escape into the atmosphere...NOT soak into your body armor vest. This slimmer design is ideal for those who wear outer carriers such as Blauer ArmorSkin. Allowing this moisture to escape also keeps you drier and warmer in the cold weather. 

The design structure of The Maxx-Dri Vest 3.0 SL also helps more evenly distribute the weight of your body armor, creating an anti-gravity effect. This makes your body armor feel lighter and more comfortable on your body. The Maxx-Dri Vest 3.0 SL provides you with the body armor ventilation you desire, without excess bulk...ideal for those with tailored uniforms or who work in more temperate climates. This lets you focus so you can get the job done and get home safe.

The Maxx-Dri Vest 3.0 SL is designed with our NEW proprietary 6mm material giving it a slightly sleeker profile than our 2.0 and 3.0 models...which are constructed with our patented 8mm material.

SIZING

Sizing for the Maxx-Dri Vest 3.0 SL 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.

Excellent airflow

I truly love this under vest, makes an insane amount of difference especially because I am in the one of the hottest areas of the United States.

The only thing I would change is the shoulder material is a little too wide by about 1/2 inch and can become uncomfortable.

Everything else is spot on.

Thanks for your kind review. We keep everyone's valuable feedback under consideration. For your consideration we at 221B contemplated this when we invented this product and its current configuration we felt was optimal based upon lots of T&E at the beginning. Perhaps it's just a matter of getting used to it. We hope you experience great benefits from your purchase of this product. Thank you again! - Brad @ 221B Tactical

Maxx-Dri Vest 3.0 SL Review

I have had the item for a few weeks and love it. The thiner size makes it perfect for conceled vest wearing. It allows for much better air flow under the vest and keeps the plates from sticking to you. You can feel the product working as heat escapes from under the vest. It does not stop you from getting hot in the summer heat, but makes a conceled vest much more comfortable. I highly recomend this product.
