    Unique packs are nice

    They have a plastic insert in the flap, so the velcro stays out of the way when you don't need it to stick, and it makes reinserting the tube easier.

    I have a 4V tube (you don't really have a problem with balls breaking after a hit, at least I don't, plus you can insert any size tube you want) for front, and a monster 6V2H pack for back (this is rarely used).

    The Redz packs are nice too, as are the Dye slampacks. It's really a matter of personal preference.


    Try E-bay for packs. You can get AWESOME deals deals on packs there.

      I use a Redz 4v, or a 3v1h, or even a 4h1v. It depends on my mood.

      I have an old sandana bone camo 6 vert for 10 man NPPL.

        Something you should note...

        It's inevitable, if you know you have a lot of paint on your back, you're gonna shoot it. I used to play w/ my mag and either play hopper ball, or carry a couple pods on a cheapo-pouch..... When I got my Jacko 5V (Comments below), I shot a hopper and 2 pods a game, every game. Sometimes more. So be sure that you either can afford to use a big pack, or buy a small one.

        The Jacko packs are good for the price. They're light weight, durable, and the belt is basicly a HUGE piece of velcro (about 6" wide). As an addition, they have a couple of elastic loops on the sides of the front to put strait shot squeegies through....

        All else equal, though, I would have gone with the Redz Dimension 3:2 pack... You only carry 3 pods, but for big games, you can have the extra ones handy. I also like the elastic belt on the Redz slightly better (although I get the biggest sweat line when I take it off at the end of the day ).

        Hope I've helped.

          I use a jackopack which is really nice. And the new 32Degrees pack looks a lot like a redz pack, looks cool. But out of the ones you suggested, I say go for the Redz! My buddy has one of them, and its real nice.

          ENDO!

              Redz all the way, the comfort belt is so more comfortable than any other belt i've ever worn, and the packs are easy to use quickly on the field

                I use a dye 4v. I've taken a hit on one of the pods during an ambush in woods ball, it was some advantage shell allstar and didn't break. The pack fits behind even the smallest players, I have a 33 inch waist. The pack is great back support and comes with a removable pillow thingy. It has air channels and holes all over the back piece. The pull tabs are great, you can hook in your thumb without even thinking.

                  I've resently started using the Redz system. The Comfort belt is great. It gives a little back support and can help hold in those of us who's six pack is looking more like a case. The best thing is being able to change the pack very quickly. You could carry a back player's 1500 balls one game then switch and slap on a two tube pack for running the tape. It's not all that cheap but what is in paintball.

                    I love my Redz Demsion 4.3 for big games and the senarios I go to. For tournaments I use a JT Slammer Pack (but I don't use a speed collar).
