Wears like a shirt yet protects you like a coat. Thermal, wind-blocking, and breathable. Comfortable even when you come in out of the cold.

"This is legitimately like wearing a jacket without the bulk. It's thinner around the torso making it perfect for those that wear a ballistic vest. Wore it in -0 weather and it was great. It's a good wind stopper as well."—Joel M. (Jan. 9, 2022)

All you need in cold winter weather is Stage 3, which you wear under your body armor (even better: under your Maxx-Dri Vest!). It keeps you warm and comfortable, providing full thermal protection to sub 15-degrees Fahrenheit (-9.45C). It blocks wind and resists water.

Importantly, Stage 3 is breathable. You don't overheat going out into the cold and then back into warm buildings and squad cars. Also, the material that covers the core is thinner so that you don't overheat under your armor vest.

Full Freedom of Movement

The Stage 3 material is thin and stretchy, so you have full freedom of movement and flexibility to do the job without compromising safety: to easily access gear on your duty belt, and to chase and handle unruly suspects.

By liberating police and other users of body armor from the constraints of bulky winter coats, Stage 3 is truly a game changer.

"I absolutely love it. I have the level 3 and I am a police officer in Ohio where it can be quite cold. Super comfortable and breathable. 100 times better than any under armor item I've ever purchased."

"Right now in Chicago it’s 10 degrees with high winds, everyone at my agency is wearing a coat. All i’m wearing is my thermal with a vest carrier, and I don’t feel the cold coming through at all." —Samuel B. (Jan. 5, 2022)

Innovative Design & Materials

The benefits of Stage 3 are achieved through innovative design and materials. Despite being thin and stretchy, the Stage 3 fabric is a triple layer of three different materials heat-pressed together. The outer layer is a soft, stretchy, breathable polyurethane fabric that blocks wind. The middle layer resists water and blocks wind. And the inner layer, which touches your body, is a soft grid-thermal fleece that maintains your body heat.

Thermal material covers your shoulders, sleeves and upper chest. Tight wrist cuffs ensure that cold air doesn’t run up your arms. The mock-neck design protects your neck. But you need to breath at the core, the torso. So the core of Stage 3 is made with moisture-wicking, breathable material to keep you dry. It's thinner than the rest of the garment so you don't overheat under your body armor.

"I work in WI so I need to be warm in the winter. I do not like to wear a coat, as I personally feel it is hard to get to my gear. This is PERFECT! I stay warm but I am not sweating under my vest. LOVE IT!!" —Lina E. (Feb. 9, 2019)
