suggestions?

Roll Duct Tape sticky side out over her legs....


Then, tell her to roll on the ground where you conveniently emptied a few bags of packing peanuts...

I did some looking on the net... not much luck...

The Dye C7's have an adjustable waist... she might like that... and animal paintball makes pants... Both will cost a lil cash though...

Look on ebay...

yeah i know pants are expensive

im more worried about durability thought. since i know alot of the new pants are prone to bad stitching and rip easy. or so ive heard and have seen first hand. so if im going to spend money i want something that is going to last 6 years like the pair i have now

To be honest, Animal's pants are ok, but not great/recommendable. I've sent mine back 2x now for rip repair, after only having owned them for a year+, and not really having abused them to much.

My new 08' Redz pants however, are pretty legit. Also, FullClips pants are some of the most durable ones I've seen. My Scenario PB Team is sponsored by both for a reason

I've heard good things about smokin' pants.

Invert makes good pants. I use em and beat the snot out of them too.

they stand up good? hows the stitching? and rips?

I bought my girl the DYE pants just because of all the padding. The adj waist is really nice too, gives a tight fit and is still comfortable. They are a bit heavier than other pants but I like knowing she wont get bruised up as bad. Bruises on a chick arent sexy (but paintballs are, go figure )

I havent owned any but the invert pants do seem well made.

Proto pants are amazing. I have a pair of the 08's and they are the best I have ever had.

Im a size 32 waist and the mediums fit me perfect (room to grow room to shrink).


Im looking tro get a pair of the size smalls for my Girlfriend.

I have some Empire pants that i abuse ALOT... They are on the pricey side but i have had them for 3+ years now and have only a little wear on the knee where i slide alot. I spent a little more than i would regularly to get a pair that lasted longer than the cheap pants. Take your time and choose wisely....

I'm still on my 07's and there aren't any rips, tears, or anything. And I DO abuse mine. They are great pants, I highly recommend them as well. I wear the medium and they're a perfect fit.

They're very comfortable, the built-in knee pads could use some work (And I heard were improved upon a lot on the 08's), completely adjustable, good protection in hip/crotch area, plenty of pockets (and not too many), and they're very adjustable. I do a lot of running and I've never had problems with them sliding down at all.

I have a old Raven pair that is built like a tank...but no padding and not very breathable. Also they are a tad too small.

I tried some Evil 07 pants...they ripped on a simple slide...they were light and airy...but no staying power.

I have 2 pairs of "player" pants...those things are airy and feel solid, the olive ones especially as the fabric feels a lot tougher. Player is a good complany too, if you call their number you get the owner, and I've really taken those pants through the ringer and they keep comming up like champs. They had a price drop too so they are more than affordable.
