A 3-group is equivalently
a 2-groupoid equipped with the structure of a loop space object of a connected 3-groupoid (its delooping);
a monoidal 2-category in which every object has an weak inverse under the tensor product, every 1-morphism has a weak inverse, and every 2-morphism has an inverse.
Some classes of 3-groups are modeled by 2-crossed modules or crossed squares.
