my tank is on the left

**Jonno06** · 06-10-2002, 02:04 PM

hm..i have an 88ci tank,and it fits good,i think one size fits all....?

**AssassN** · 06-10-2002, 02:28 PM

thanks that is what i thought

I don't think one size fits all with Lok-Soks. For 68ci and 88ci bottles, it should be the same for the most part, but larger tanks like 114ci's have a larger diameter. So check out larger-sized Lok-Soks if you want 'em.

I'd still tell you go with a neoprene tank cover instead, as it looks like the so called "Soks" don't give any protection at all to the mid section fo the tank. A full bottle cover will help protect it from scratches and dings better than Soks. Check out the new Dye covers, padded neoprene looks nice.

o i don't care i am ultra careful with my tank and gun so i don't need it for protection.

"Soks" don't give any protection at all to the mid section fo the tank

I would like to add to this, if the middle is not covered there is no protection. If the tank gets scratched, and if it is deep enough, the tank must(by DOT regulations) be scrapped. A scratch weakens the fibre wrap on a tank, therefore creating a point where the thin aluminum tank inside can fail.

With this being said, I like the LOK SOKS for looks, but the practal nature of the has a lot to be desired. I would go for a full cover like the REDZ or DYE covers.

EDIT- I saw your post reguarding you being careful, but there is so many ways to scratch a tank and I'm sure no one can be THAT careful

unfortunatly NPPL will not allow you to have full tank covers. I have been to several NPPL rules used tourneys, but not one has said anything to me or the other players about haveing full covers. Lok-sok or nothing is all NPPL will allow.

that is quite possibly the most retatarted thing i think nppl has ever done! i think i would sue if while playing i scratched my tank on one of thier fields and i had to scrap my tank. all because i wouldnt be allowed to use a full cover in a tourny? thats retarted!

yes you can go read the rules it clearly states tank covers are allowed but it says hopper cover's aren't. read up a little.

lok-soks are fantastic. The new DYE tank covers are incredible though. Hard to beat. But I love the lok-soks on my A.I.R. Very sticky and hold the marker in perfect position when shouldering.

well i dont think a neprone cover will save you from scratching you tank do you i mean come on now when wearing a tshirt and you get scraped it doesnt rip your shirt does it, no, but if you ding your bottle enough to get it "scrapped" then neprone is not gonna save you.

true but you can also put yuor tank on different surfaces without having to worry about it and it helps a little but it won't help you if you slam your gun into a tree.

they look cool, but they dont really help your tank much

**paintbattler** · 06-10-2002, 09:45 PM
