    NXe stuff is better

    Following Havoc_online's advice, I recently sold my REDZ packs off in favor of the NXe Pro Harnesses . I got a 3+2+2, which I really like. Its more flexible than the REDZ, and more secure... Holds more pods, plus it looks smooth.

    On top of that, Its cheaper, and it comes in one unit... you dont have to buy the pack and belt.

    I was recently checking out their site and saw they do tank covers, too. So I ordered one. Similar styling to DYE, but it looks smoother, imo. Just as rugged and tough, plus its not DYE (a plus for me...)

    Anyways, it came with a barrel sock that is built in much the same way as Roguefactors. (with the chord that loops thru, instead of being sewn in)

    It seems NXe is slowly expanding their line, too... Maybe they'll make pants and jersies before too long. I need a new pair of pants, my Dye's suck...

      Seriously Redz is old school now... Get NXe!

                You know, back in my day, a separate pack/belt was considered a feature. I know my belt's seen more action than the pack I bought it with.


                How is the pack 'more secure'? By more secure, do you mean the pods are more secure, or the thing is more secure on your body? And by flexible... do you mean it can hold more pods, or the material in general is more flexible?

                Definitely not on the A-Team.

                  If only they made packs for fat people...I'm not skinny enough for their gear...no matter how well it's made...being 6'4"/250 sucks sometimes..

                    NXe makes great stuff. Heard all about it at Tex-ball. Saw some of it at Ultimate Madness.

                        Well, in reference to both questions, at the risk of sounding like I'm hyping the product... Both...

                        How is the pack 'more secure'?
                        The belt is designed in a similar manner to that of the REDZ dimension belt. You have 2 main flaps with Velcro, then you have 2 smaller ones that over-lap the larger ones for adjustment. On the redz pack, the smaller straps wrap to where they meet about in the middle. On the NXe, they overlap, just like the larger ones. That way, the pack is universal and more adjustable. My REDZ, you could move it around a little bit. No matter how much I tightened it, it would jostle when I ran. This one doesnt. It sits there and doesnt bounce.

                        As well, the loops (for additional pods) are tighter and much harder for pods to come out of. Plus they have small elastic loops at the bottom you can loop over the pod lid. There were times with my REDZ that either a pod would open up, spilling the paint, or it would fall out completely (thats only happend once, but still).
                        And by flexible... do you mean it can hold more pods, or the material in general is more flexible?
                        The way the flaps are designed, the pack will flex with you when you move. Twist, turn, crawl down the snake, this thing is comfortable and stays in the same spot on your back.

                        As well, the 3+2 model actually holds 7 pods. All the "pro" models have extra flaps on the side just in case you want to drop in 2 more. I usually carry 3 pods into a game. Usually, I'll use all but a hopper. Bigger games, I'lll take in like 5 pods. (but that was my limit with my REDZ 3+2) Now If I'm really feeling generous, I can go in with 7. (not saying I would, but some might find it advantagious)

                            NXe is a local company for me also... as is CP, Equation, and Ricochet. Anyhow avalanche recruit Pepe Escuta formerly of oakland assassins took up gear making recently and founded NXe...

                            Um im sure some of ya all remember me sporting the NXe 4+3 pack at Texas Throwdown then subsequently loseing it during the final battle. stupid old me.
