Who makes the highest quality Tourny pants

[CatoRockwell]

I'm interested in purchasing some battle pants, but just so I can get a fair comparison, who do you guys think makes the best tourney pants for paintball?

Which is the most durable?
Best range of motion?
Comfort?

I bought some from special ops a few years ago, and they are holding up ok, but the pads in the knees weren't sewn in place so they are all jacked up now.

Dye seems to make really nice ones, very high price, but is it worth it? Can I get better tourney pants elsewhere?

The longest lasting I've ever had was Proto6 which are still in 100% perfect shape. Not as "pretty" as genuine DYE but padded in all the right places and made to last.

Most decent pants will last quite a bit of time. I've got a set of inverts that are two years old and still in great shape. However, there's a new company here in the dealers forum that makes great pants for much less than dye/proto, invert, etc. My brother just picked up a paint from APX and they are simply awesome!

Yes, I saw those, APX seems like a good company, just didn't know anyone with any experience with them.

APX = Great Paint, Mediocre Clothing (in my opinion)

Whatever you do, don't go Valken.

JT pants are pretty rugged. They last a long time.

check out Mar's pant line on MCB. He works with APX, all I've heard is good stuff so far. If and when my Empire 06 pants wear out I'll be looking to get some from him. But sadly I think those Empire pants will last forever. They seem to be a pretty similar cut and style to the APX pants.

Mind you Mar's stuff is more woodsball specific I guess, but camo is still cool :P

Angel A-cam pants are doing the job for me..

these are super,super light with strong material and the manoeuvrability in them is insane.

these are a MUST pal.

Love my APX pants. Also the DBD pants are made by the same company. Pricy, but well worth it.

I like my APX Thrasher pants, but I haven't used them enough to really say about longevity yet. But I expect they'll last a while.

Keep in mind that the Thrasher's I have for sale are clearance, and when they're gone, they're gone. (new line will come out after we sell out of Thrasher's)

DBD's pants are made by APX, but Mar typically provides them with special fabric's for his line of pants. I've heard only good things about his.

That said, I have a pair of JT teams and Diablo pants, and I still think the APX is better / more comfortable. But I haven't tried other styles beyond that either, so who's to say?

I have had a pair of Dye pants for 5 years now. They still have no rips/tears.

I have to second this, the 06 Proto pants hold up very well.

I've had Proto's, Jt's and Dye's over the last 6-7 years. The Jt's have really stood the test of time. The Proto's have held up well, but aren't as comfortable as the Jt's or Dye's. The Dye's just have too much crud on them. Give me a good set of pants with padded knees, a good closer at the waist, pockets and places for misc equipment and I'm good. I don't need all the huge plastic bits running all over or huge logo's.

Why not Valken...I have played 2 seasons of xball and also 7 man l in my valkens and they have lasted quite well.....they are light, comfortable and look pretty good
