    sound off on pods and packs



    Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

    I like the WGP 3+4. It is narrows so pods aren't out on your sides. It is comfy with a nice wide belt that stretches somewhat when you breathe. There is a key pocket hidden inside the belt. There are 3 pod pockets, and four pod loops. The loops stow out of the way with velcro. The harness doesn't bounce around. 3 pods are included. This design suites my need well. I don't usually carry more than 3 pods, but the loops are there if I need more. It cost me $40 bucks.

      As far as pods go, dont buy System X pods. My dad has them, they are very hard to open, especially when your being shot at from 2 people. Dye makes great packs, look for used one. Also, NXe makes some great packs for cheap.

        Pods are pretty much the same as far as I can tell.

        Redz w/ comfort belt rocks. Doesn't bounce on your back at all. It is kind of on the expensive side because you have to buy a pack AND a belt, but it is a very very nice pack system http://www.paintball-discounters.com...53104356023.a6

        A little cheaper would be a Mantis pack, very nice pack for around $35. http://www.actvil.com/is-bin/INTERSH...AAAAD3ytulA_2r

        Another, Unique's new packs are very nice also, but kind of hard to find in stock http://www.actvil.com/is-bin/INTERSH...oAAAD3O9GlA_2r

          definatly a redz dimension. doesnt bounce, and very comfortable. as for pods, the best ive used are fatboy pods. But, there just pods, so just find whatever you can at the field.

            Ive got a NXe 5 down with 5 blue animal pods, and an Extreme Rage 4+3 with a variety of pods. Love them both.

              Fat Boy pods are the best I have used. They have a recessed thumb tab so they don't get accidentally opened by bumping into somethting. They also close tightly. They seem to be the most secure pod available that I have tried.

                Well I picked up a new flurry 4 vertical pod pack (sorry not real familar with the 4+3, 3+4 and whatnot) off ebay for 15 bucks and they sent some indian creek pods for 2 dollars a piece. As far as the pack and pods go I think they both work great, pack fits many waste sizes and gives pretty good back support and the pods work good too. So with my tight budget I found it a great buy.

                  I vote WGP 3+4 also. It has that net thingie that nobody ever uses to hold your spent pods. (it folds up into the pack). also the pocket is nice for my goodies. I put an extra dye locking pod in one of the extra loops, just in case.

                    Anything that redz makes, will be your best bet. I have had my redz 3.2 for a long time, it is the best pack I have ever owned.

                            i recommend a redz dimension or a 32 degrees freestyle, they are the exact same pack, just a different brand name on them. the freestyle belt is the same as a redz comfort belt. THe freestyles come in 2+1, 3+2, and 4+3
