    We'll I'm not excatly sure but heres why I would guess they wouldn't. My friend had a NXe harness and after buying dye lock lids he sold it to another friend and brought a dye attack pak within a few days time. Only reason that makes sense is the lock lids didn't fit.

    Oh and the lock lids have been just like normal pods to me. They do give me trouble reloading because I have to look for the thumb release button and that can be costly when you got to cover a lane.

          Save your money. Don't get the lock lids...they don't lock. They are made so that your thumb flips a hindge making it easier to open...but they actually don't stay closed that well.

            I seen a guy wearing the nxe pack at my field and it looked really flimsy and bounced around alot. I also have dye pods and i have more trouble with them poping open. then normal pods. My pack seems to push the stupid buttons. Go with fatboy pods you will not regret it and there CHEAP.

            Props to echo419 for the sig

              DONT get Dye Pods. They are POS. I used to have 5 or so, took 3 of them onto the field with me, and only 1 of them was still usable. So i stopped using the Dye Pods. I use 32* Pods and Fatboy Pods. I like the 32* Pods a lot because they dont break as easily as the Dye's, they are cheaper, and they come in more colors. Fatboys are probably the best pods just because the lid is built into the pod itself. Making it very strong and very hard to break.

              Get a redz pack. Ive got one and im never using anything else!

                  Get Fatboys or the Gen E ones. Simple cheap and they work. Dye pods are 2 piece and tend to come apart at the worst times. Also if you do alot of baseball slides they will pop if in the back loops of your pack.

                    A buddy of mine has locklids and atleast once a day he dumps a pod because something bumps the pod. I dont think their worth the money but he got his for free so its all good.


                    I just want this stuff gone, super low prices

                      between the empire pack and the NXe pack, which one would be better, is there a pretty big diffference or is it mostly preference

                        cheap pods.

                        Redz packs.

                          my dye attack pack is really great. Has a removable pillow for better lumbar support. I researched packs a while ago too, but I choose this one for the price, the removable pillow, and the vertical style. But I hear reds are really good too. I choose against those because I think they look kind dumb cause of the trim color.

                          Here's the one that I have (mine is a 3-tube though):
                          ULE automag pro: black cf ule body, black x valve, lvl 10, nickel y-grip, 12" ceramic, check-it drop/asa, 68/3000 crossfire tank, 12v revy, nxe cover.

                          I love listing every stupid little thing.

                            Get the NXe. These things rock. Mine stays perfectly still...no probs at all. As far as pods, fatboys are the way to go. You can stand on them, and they wont break. I have a problem with dumping pods, then stepping on them...also, the dye lids just seem to be too damned complicated...but, thats IMO. I havent used them in a game, but I have toyed around with them.
                            The NXe pack, however, I have used extensively. Better (and cheaper) than the redz.
                            X-mag #10. Nuff said.

                              I am using a Dimension pack from Redz and I really like it, I havent tried any other type with the velcro strap, but this one works well. I use Dye lock lids with it and I do have to say that they dont stay on any stronger then regular pods and they can take a extra second to find the button when being pulled but. I solved this pretty easily by just moving them so that when I pull them out my left hand is right on the button and my pack doesnt let them shift around so they work fine. Also they have bumps on the outside of them which helps with grip when you pull them, along with more insurance from them slipping out of one of those vert or horizontal straps that go in between reg pod slots. They also seem very durable and have taken a bit of abuse from me so they have my approval
