221B Tactical

Stay comfortable, focused and safe while wearing body armor: Cooler, drier in hot weather. Drier, warmer in cold. Less sticky, itchy, and smelly. Lightweight construction, adjustable fit, and superior ventilation, Maxx-Dri not only works. It works brilliantly: A revolutionary solution to keeping you cool, dry, odor-free, comfortable, focused and safe while wearing body armor in hot, humid weather (and drier and warmer in the cold).

Maxx-Dri is the product that started 221B Tactical, created by co-founder and former police officer Suresh Madhavan, who had suffered many long days in body armor and was determined to find a better way.

Ultra thin and light as a feather, Maxx-Dri Vest 5.0 provides a layer of space between your armor and body/base-layer shirt. It works whether you’re wearing an external plate carrier or internal armor beneath your uniform shirt. The mesh design with large air-flow holes, and front-to-back dual chambers, lets heat and moisture escape, while bringing in and circulating fresh air. The vest material is anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, and holds no moisture at all, so sweat can’t get to your body armor. Both your armor and Maxx-Dri Vest stay clean and odorless, and don’t need frequent laundering. 

Your armor will feel lighter

Maxx-Dri Vest provides full 360-degree coverage everywhere your armor rests. A hook and loop closure system provides a secure and adjustable fit. Shoulder straps secure it to your body armor, the side straps are wide, mesh and breathable, and a center divider provides "grip" so the vest doesn't slip and shift around.

The Maxx-Dri material provides cushioning, but because it doesn’t compress, it distributes the weight of your armor more evenly across your body and torso. The overall effect is that your armor feels lighter and more like part of your body, rather than something you’re wearing. You feel less fatigued over time.
