Paintball pants rant

[Halliday]

I just wear black BDU cargo pants. Cheap, tough, and come in "big boy" sizes.

my team uses antron pants too and they are really great. Im not a big guy so i dont know about big guy sizes but i know for me and my team they are really durable, light weight and perfect for any conditions also they dont have ne huge adds on them.. heck, i dont think they even have logos on them. Only thing i dont like is that they do get a little "toasty" in hot weather

most all paintbqall wear stops at 44 waist pants and 3x shirts.
this is not big dude sizes and once in a while you see a 4x shirt from raven and 32 degrees but there wicked tight on 4x body no way are they 4x i wear 3x shirt and 4x jersy is like batman suit on me oh well guess noone wants there logos on real big dudes forget those 44 waist ppl crying i got no options try getting 5x pants see ya cry then i wear 4x pants but for paintball always get a size bigger. so stick to what you can find and forget the paintball market it isnt meant for real big dudes we dont get into magazines or adds so we dont matter much to pb companies.

Boy,

animalpaintball is not doing themselves any favors with those crappy pictures. I'm not one to care too much about style, but those pants look fugly! As a matter of fact, there was a guy next to my building this morning, passed out in a puddle of his own pee, and I think he had them on. I found a picture of another guy who would like these pants...

www.Toxicperformance.com has some nice pants from what I could tell from holding them in the store. I am going to get a pair and try them out when some money comes my way.

I wear a pair of RASE slider pants. Every tie I rip them I take them to the cleaners and get them patched up for a couple bucks. I'll wear these things until all thats left are patches, I love them.

I just ordered a pair of the animal pants. But listen to this. I decided to grab a pair of dye slider shorts too (getting sick of my shrunken ravens) and when I added the pants to the cart the dye shorts became free. I'm not sure if it will stay that way, but that's what the cart displayed.

I've got the Dye core's myself..and i'm 6'3" and pushing close to 250lbs...so they seems to fit me fine...(got a size XxL...they're a little big..but they have velcro straps on the side to tighten them)

As an update,
I just spent the last 20 minutes with a sharp pair of scissors carefully removing the bumper sticker 32 degrees logo of the rear.
While wearing forms of BDU's and regular cotton cargo pants. I find that they are pierced far too easily. When sliding on a non astro turf surface (general outdoors They just cannot hold up. I've got pockets ripping off and these 12,000 day old knees and shins are taking more abuse then they should. I just saw an article in APG about the 'Antron' pants while interesting 80 or 90 dollars gives me reason to pause.
Regarding earlier comments about shiny knee pads, I wouldn't worry about that at all. After the first game there will be no 'shine' left. Curiosity is getting to me about nylon instead of cotton, extra lining and paddings. So I'm willing to give it a try and see how they hold up. Especially in this Sacramento heat.
The 32 degrees are on the tight size, now I have an incentive to loose some weight. I'll let everyone know how the animal pants hold up next weekend. The toxic site looks like a good design.
It's good to see that vendors are working their own designs and not just the 'big' companies. This is where the best innovations will come from.

Animal Paintball Pants rule. You have to make sure that you tie the belt tight if you are skinny like me because they can slide down if you aren't careful.
