Gear Bag Opinions.

[Cliffio]

Well, I'm in the process of buying all new gear ever since I quit, and I've been looking at several gear bags, I had a JT GearSack at one time and it was WAY too small for all my crap. Since then I was using a BIG suitcase with rollers on it, but it was all ripped up so I threw it away.

anyways, I've been looking at the Dye 4day, Redz, Mantis Thorax, and JT SUV Large Roller. Jt was the only website that didnt have dimensions of their bag, so I'm a little skeptical of how big it is.

24"x14"x14" - Dye 4Day
38"x16"x16" - Redz
34"x--"x16" - Mantis
??"x??"x??" - JT Large SUV

They are pretty much the same price, between $130-$150, so thats not something im worried about

I'm kinda leaning toward the Redz because its the biggest as far as i know, i also kinda like the hard mask compartment and the free chair I kinda like the Pod holders and the fact that you can use the mantis as a backpack. but I dunno

But I wanted to see what everybody else though, or what you use.

Thanks
Cliff

Me and the soon to be wife have the Mantis bags, there big and easy to hall around with all the carry options.

I don't regreat buying the 2 of them at all.

Hope this helps out.

I personally use a dye weekender, but would STRONGLY recomend the new redz bags. A teammate has one, and it holds (safely) 4 guns, 4 tanks, mask, 2 hoppers, 7 barrels, freak case, 11 pods, pack, all little things (barrel condoms, squeegee, etc) dye pants, dye jersey, with a bit of extra room. Those figgures are TRUE I am gonna sell my weekender for one.

Just get yourself a phatty Rubbermaid bin, a lugage roller, and a gun case.

those redz bags used to be a LOT cheaper

I've got the JT large one and it's pretty awesome. I haven't seen the newer versions of mantis or Redz so I can't comment on those.

The main problem with the JT one is by the time I get it full I HAVE to roll it, it weighs too much to carry!

I have the redz one, and I can fit everything I need to take to the feild in it. No complaints and the chair is nice too.

i like the chili pepper

Re: Gear Bag Opinions.

I have the redz one and I actually use the little chair. I also have one of those small fold up tables that I use with the chair.

I wouldn't buy a bag made specifically for paintball that did not have a "spot" especially for goggles. I like the redz bag. I'd personally like more pockets, but otherwise it is nice. It will hold two markers and equipment without much problem,.

Eh, youve been real helpful with my angel in the past, figgure I should return the favor

I have a redz bag and actually would like to get something different. I do not like the wheels on them, they are too narrow and cause the bag to tip while being towed. I have yet to try one of the mantis bags, but am looking into getting one.

[Muzikman]

I do not have either one of these, but I think I am going to buy both in the near future...

The Smokin' Paintball Gear Boxes is serious arse, though so does the price. I first saw these beasts at the Shatner game and concluded that I need a few of these to keep my beloved collection safe while at home or on the road.

The gear bag that I want is the DYE Navigator. This thing is amazing!!! Ask Dayspring, he's got one. Again, it's pretty pricy, but this thing can fit everything including the kitchen sink and the bathtub!

Other than that, I have always liked the Extreme Rage bags.
