Just picked up a Mantis Diamnod 3+2 pack for $20 new on eBay.. I haven't played in it yet but it seems pretty secure, anyone have good/bad luck with these?

I love my Mantis stuff... I used to have a Diamond 3+2, then I went to a ProPack 4.3... it's the shiz...

rkjunior: who'd you buy it from? do you remember the seller ID? Let me know, PM, or whatever, in this thread if you want. --Dave

only problem i had with mine was that the loops were too tight and it was a paint to get pods out during a game.

Crazy: quick fix for that... put the tubes you're gonna use in it (I recommend FatBoys, cuz that's what the pack was designed around) into the loops, and fasten the flaps. Then handwash the whole pack in warm water (use soap if ya want, but it's not required for this part) and leave it out in the sun, with the tubes still in. They should all fit perfectly after its dry.

That's the suggestion from Mantis. try it, see what happens. :D --dave

I've been thinking about getting a Diamond pack. Looked pretty good for the price.

I'm going to try that. I need to replace my 100rnd pods with 150 but once I do that, I will try washing it. I dig the fit and it doesnt seem to bounce.. NOt bad for 20! beats 60 for a redz... it was some dude who won it, was selling it on ebay bro.. sorry..
