Help choosing something!!!

[Psycho Chicken]

Alright AO I need your help in choosing a new gear bag. I have owned a large JT rolling SUV bag now for bout 3-4 years and it's torn up (didn't hold up like i think that it should of). And now i'm in the market for a new one.

I've pretty much nawored it down to 2 bags the DYE navigator and the empire ultimate.

I need to here personal experiences (or pics showing everything inside them) with either one of the bags, or if you got one that's better.

The equipment that will be inthe bag is

xmag
excal
sidearm
palmer pump
box of 12gr
2 88/4500 long bottles
5 pack
10 tubes
parts kit
freak and otp kits
vforce profiler and vforce sheild
bout three hoppers
and room for more

I also heard that the navigator had some kid of internal lock for the guns. Can anyone confirm this?

the navigator is a 2 piece deal. The gearbag part isnt that big, but with the suitcase part its freaken huge. It has like sleves for the guns. The gearbag part is nice tho, it can be worn as a backapack, and its compact and still holds a bunch.

The empire gearbag is straight up huge. Absolutly massive. Its got sleves and straps for the guns, which is nice. Itll definatly hold all that, no problem. Its a pain tho, just because its so big.

have you looked at the Nexed Driven bag? It has stood up to my abuse without any issue at all and holds 2 markers and a ton of other stuff safe. It even has 2 mask bags mounted int he top to make sure they dont get crushed or damaged.

herb, buy my navigator off me, it's just sitting in my basement. I've got both the empire and the navigator right now, so let me know if you wanna do an in-person side by side.

and happy b-day too

thanks wynn... which one do you like more

[wyn1370]

definitely the empire, hence why I'm trying to sell the dye.

I have the giant redz gear bag. its awsome

[wyn1370]

redz gear large gear bags are horrible. The wheel base on the back is too narrow and they can't roll straight.

[Torbo]

i agree that the wheel base sucks, but to me thats the only drawback. I really like mine. That would be my recommendation.


my pervious comments were based only on the dye vs. empire options you gave

Well we'll have to see now, my brother did some running for my mother today. And I know I;m getting one of them, (she acted before i could say anything wynn). So i'll tell you guys what it is when i get it.

Thanks for all the input wynn, torbo, ninhydrin
