What Gearbag do you use?

[Smitty2k1]

I just use some huge duffel bag I found at the mall for $30 or so. Works perfect, holds anything you would ever need.

Its not worth paying $100+ for some of these bags out there..

I use a Craftsman 24in Truck Tote from Sears. Excellent. They're $50 retail, but with Father's Day coming up next month you'll be able to pick one up for $30 (bought mine last year over the Father's Day weekend). It has a huge storage tub on the bottom that'll hold a mask, tank, marker, shoes, and two full changes of clothes. There are two stackable trays for tools, pods, etc, and it has a telescoping handle and wide oversized wheels so you can roll it around like all-terrain luggage. Plus, since the lid has a weight load of 300lbs, you can sit on it between games.

Only downside to it is that it won't fit in the trunk of a lot of smaller cars and sedans.

MarkM, I just can't justify $175 for a gearbag.

Dryden, my lil bro uses that as a truck box haha. He takes bungee cords to keep it secure.

So far I've looked at Redz and Ratco. But I'm also thinking about just buying something like a big plastic box and using that.

I've started packing lighter. I've got it down to a gun, mask, tank, pods, some tools, and some dirty clothes. I won't put my mask in any bag unless it has a hard compartment for it. Im thinking of getting like a Ratco, carrying my mask, have another bag for dirty clothes.

Redz Small Gear Bag

http://countypaintball.com/product_description.asp?item=2417

$34 (altho County looks like they're out of stock atm)

Holds my marker, tank, three barrels, and some other stuff (harness, couple pods). Then I went to HomeDepot, picked up a small toolbox ($9 or so), and that's where I shove all my batteries, squeeges, parts, tools, etc. So the only things I pack (besides paint) is the toolbox, the bag, and my google bag.

I now use the Nexed NX Pro Rolling Duffel. 2 levels of storage for markers and the like, and an extra top part to store clothes and such. I keep 6 jerseys, 2 pairs of pants and a pair of cleats up there.

in the gearbag itself, my emag, my viking, warp, halo, mask, tools, extra revvy, and my redz pack. with BUNCHES of room to spare.

did I mention on each split level, there are 5 slots for barrels, ranging in small to "this belongs on a scenario marker" size. so, 10 slots in all.

I just ordered a Proto bag. I'll let you know how it works out for me.

I've been using a ratco for about 4 months now and IMO it's a very well thought out design for the money. I usually pack it with 2 mags, 2 68ci tanks, 1 20oz. co2, 2 revvys, 3 barrels, rags, all my tools, spare parts (LX, fittings, parts kits, etc...), squeegees, 2 masks (on the outside) and my 4+3 on the outside as well. So yea it can actually hold a lot of gear for its size and at $70 it makes those long walks to the outlaw fields bearable.

I use a Nexed Driven Back Pack now. It holds everythign i can think of to put in it...lol. Multiple markers, multible masks and a bunch of other stuff.

[Dayspring]

I need to start packing lighter...

2-3 guns (I've fit 5), barrel kit, mask, 10 pods, harness, 3 loaders, tools, cleaning supplies, jersey, gloves, hat.

I recently picked up some POS bag from II sports... Thought it was going to be a paintball gear bag, instead it was just a piece of luggage. I didnt even recognize the company name. (I had assumed it would be an I&I bag... )

When I get out of the whole I managed to dig myself into for texball, I'll be picking up one of the NXe bags.

Well true it isn't cheap but then I don't think that was the object of the thread, we can all do cheap. I only bought the bag I have because it will do what I need it to and as I tend to hop on planes from time to time it can double as a bag for the things I need for the trip as well (I will afterall leave the spare gear in the Hotel room)

Now if the thread was "how getto is your gear bag" (there we are, for any PW's a ready made thread title for you ) then I would hate to think the answers that will come up. My biggest gripe with bags is that up until the one I have just got there was nowhere sensible to put pods and even if you could get them into the bag safely they would have to be moved everytime you wanted to get to something and there are lots of little and large pockets inside to put things in that used to lie at the bottom of my Planet bag and when you overload a Planet bag the corners can rip out and the zips can burst plus there are a pig to move easily.
