What Pod Pack Do You Use ?

[kevdupuis]

Still use an old Mantis pack I picked up at Skyball in either 01 or 02.

I still use a JT pack too or the Redz version of it. I pick them up when I see them on BST. If you want to start fresh let me know and I can check the "inventory".

I had Rich at Topstitch make me one of his M-Packs that he use to make way back. I have little t-rex arms and can'teasily reach the middle pod in a standard 3+2 vertical pack. I also hate trying to put an empty pod back into a vertical pack, and the pods on the expanders have a habit of opening up.

This is what I had made probably about 5 years ago. He had said that he makes them to order from old patterns. I believe I paid somewhere around $60-75 but I'm not positive. The elastic on the belt at this point is about at the end of its life. I'm most likely going to see if I can get somebody to replace it.

I have a redz vertical pack just like the jt one i would sell to you cheap, ill check out the shape its in if your interested but it was used for only a couple seasons and has been sitting. Pm me if your interested, not looking to make much of anything off of it.

Critical pack for me. I think they are the best packs out there.

[mpsd]

NXe are still the best ones for me.

Got new velcro sewn back on the slam pack.

Holds 4 of the 185 round Pinokio pods.

The elastic bands tended to slip off and lose pods while sliding feet first down a hill or behind a low bunker. I loved the idea of a Velcro-less design, but in practice it wasn't for me.

ronin gear 5x10rd tube wrist carrier. except i wear it on my right bicep usually, not my wrist.

For speedball I think mine is a DYE 5+6, I never tried putting pods back in since I always played back, to the fence they would go. For scenarios it is some 4 pod horizontal I got forever ago and put suspenders on so it can ride lower and I can still wear my Camelback Mule.

This.

I really like the idea of the efficiency of a strapless pack, but when sliding into a bunker or just bumping into things, tripping and falling down, or whatever, what keeps the pods from dumping?

And I don't mean falling out; I mean opening and spilling their contents. The straps not only hold the pods in, they keep the lids shut under stress.

How do these strapless designs deal with that issue?

It happens, but not as often as you might think, I found as the lids got loose on pods I would toss them out or move them to my scenario setup since it is horizontal with straps. But even doing that occasionally you would pull one out that had dumped. It always seemed a small sacrifice for the speed with which you can get to them in a fast paced game.

BunkerKings Supreme Pack

Empire fast pack. Been thinking about getting BunkerKing for secondary.

I have to say - I was worried about the no-straps thing on the BK pack, but I REALLY like it. Especially with the 165 round pods. And to Nobody's statement, it's 4 in the tubes, but room for another 7 in the elastic rings. They did just release a 3+4 and a 5+8 this week, just not as nice looking as mine.

I've been thinking about this after seeing some of you guys playing with them at TB 8.

I've been running with an Invert 5+4 and a GXG 3+4. The Invert pack is more than I really need unless I play a big game with my Axe, but hey at $20 shipped and NIB it was a good deal 8 or 9 years ago.

Any issues with them at all?

Not that I know of.

wait. did bk come out with a 5+8 or hk? if bk did then tell me where to find it. i loved the 4 pack, i just wanted to run with 5 pods. the hk is not an option for fat guys from my understanding.
