Maybe I have been under a rock for a couple months but I went to my local paintball store and saw some DYE pants for $150. Granted they looked cool and seemed well padded. But 150 bucks. Most folks can barely afford paint. Where did this come from?

lol yea i went into my local pball store today, my friend was looking for pants and boom they are like 100, the sliding shorts were maybe 80-90.
i was like damn, my store just got all the 04' stuff in too.
oh well he picked up some jt's and i ended up buying some c4 dye gloves, they are pretty nice for $45 too.I knew not what I did but am now edumacated -
you can buy like 4 jeans for a family w/ that same 150 that you blew off for fancy "dye" pants
the angel pants are like that too... damn paintball rips people off
I do know the AO sig rules, I just want a free sig pic, that's all! :mad:

Sure they are expensive, nice, and well made. I guess if you have a problem forking over the money for them, they are not for you.
If you look, they can be found for 130 or so, and guess what, dye will probably sell as many as they can make.Cobalt DM4

thats only their C4 pants tho. but still pretty ridicolous (sp?)
and Tuna, i'm sure if you had the DYE C4 pants, they'd be close to that price :P
their 04 hybrid pants are only like, 60, 70 bucks.
but still, i only see extra padding on the c4.. just insaneComment

DYE is the Oakley of paintball, basically. Offering stuff that isn't better than what else it out there, but they slap that twisted Lexus symbol on there and charge double.
The problem really isn't that DYE's doing this. It's that people will actually pay the money so they're looked at as "cool." So that when they walk on the field people look at them and are like "By george Billy Bob, lookie thar, hes must be gooood."
It's all about the market. People will pay that much? Well then the companys and distributors will continue to charge that much.

In the end, they're just a bunch of expensive pants. They're not going to improve your game or make you run faster...
It's pretty useless to drop 150 bucks on a pair of pants that won't do anything...I'd rather save it up for a new tank or hopper or something else.
However, Dye gloves are by far the most comfortable glove I've worn.Comment

Way under $80 for Paintball Junkies pants. Made as well (or better) than anything from DYE (of course, they're all made in the same Chinese province), and you're not buying anyones hype.
Bought size 36, and they fit great right away, I didn't have to adjust the waist-cinch at all. Fully meshed inside, and really tough outer fabrics. Sweet stuff!

I have a pair of 03 hybrids, and I dont have any problem with them. They are fairly cheap, dont tair, and eliminate the need for kneepads.Comment
