    Tank cover recomendations

    I recently purchased a 68/3k Flatline and I'd like to put a cover on it for protection. Since there are many brands, DYE, Rase, Redz, and the Loc Soc things, I am looking for opinions on which to get. How easy to get on, how well they fit, level of protection they provide, that sort of thing. Is one brand better than the other, or are they all the same.

    Thanks

    Any of those brands you mentioned will suit your needs just find. The only thing is the the Lok Sok things from WDP only cover the ends of the tank leaving the middle exposed. They look cool but don't provide the level of protection the neoprene style does - plus they are a little pricey for what you get. The Dye, Rase, or Redz would be your best choice and is your decision on which one you like best.

      rase or redz
      both are equally good

      altho- i do like the loc soks they provide good protection on both ends, i mean have you ever seen a talk have lots of scratches in the middle? well i havent
      also they smell good out of the factory, no joke, they smell fruity!!!

        I owned a rase and now own a dye, the dye is by far the best because it has little pads and grips on it. Most importantly it is easy to get on/off because it uses a zipper. The Rase was a pain to get off. I also think the Dye looks the best. Not that the Rase was bad, but the DYE nitro cover is better.....And I used both these covers on the same nitro tank. I'd get pics but too lazy, get the Dye you won't be disappointed. www.g3pb.com is about the only place that has all the colors in stock.

            Thaks for all the opinions so far. I still haven'd decided, but the sock idea is kinda cool. If only I could get something like "WUL SOK" embroidered on it.

                I have a Redz tank cover. Very protective and looks great. and I likt the grip it has so it wont slip like an un-covered tank would. It is somethimes hard to get on and off whn I have my Drop zone all the way farward, ut no biggy. I used to use a sock, man that was ghetto.

                      The coolest ones I have seen are at Animal Paintball. http://www.animalpaintball.com/Hot%20Gear.htm

                        I use a RASE tank cover on my 68/3000 tank, covers well, realitivly easy to put on, I find its really easy when put on with two hands, plus the rubber 'non slip' end of the cover works really well for me.

                          Love those Animal covers.

                          I have a Bluez on my 68 stubby. I like the full side and the base rubber pad. You can just see it here:

                            Nicest one I've seen is Kilaueakids. He's got a flatline 3k on his SFL. He uses one from DYE. The pic doesn't do it justice.

                              Heck, one of the people at the paintball field has a very tacky tank cover. He has 2 wool socks that cover it. Its funny, but it works.
