Don’t Suffer in Your Armor!

221B Tactical

No need to sweat, stink or get rashes wearing body armor for long hours in the summer heat. The Maxx-Dri Vest by 221B Tactical was created by a police officer to make wearing body armor much more bearable — to help you stay cooler, drier, more focused and safe. Made of an ultra-lightweight 3D material, the Maxx-Dri Vest creates a layer of space between your base-layer shirt and your armor vest so that your body can breathe under the armor. Heat and perspiration escape and fresh air comes in. Visit 221btactical.com or call (212) 710-1641 to learn more.
