What up people? Im new at this, so bare with me... Im getting a pack, but what kind should I get... I want at least 3 or 4 pods or whatever you want to call em, but I also want it to hold a tank. I like that JT design... with 4 pods going horizontal but I know you need the other attachments as well... REdz makes one like it but it wont hold a thank... or can a tank fit in one of those? Enlighten me on something...

If you have your heart set on a Redz pack you might want to consider the Redz Big game pack (BGP-400BK). It holds 4 horizontal pods and has a pouch on the right side to hold your tank. If you order from Redz it'll cost about $29.99 and they'll even throw in some 100rd pods. They also have the basically similar Flex tech 500 pack(FT-500) which uses a different waistband. Heres their website:

what size and type of tank do you have because if its smaller just attach it to the gun and get a speedy pack less weight on your back and a more balanced gun. But no matter what go with redz the absolutley make the best packs in the industry.

Redz packs are sweet. I have a 4V and 1H and I love it. The pods are really easy to get to, and the vertical ones slid right out into your hand as you pull the velcro down.

redz are the most comfy packs on the market, imo. the belt makes it stay put and not bounce. you can also put more pods in between the actual holder. sorry hard to explain.

go to your local army surplus store and get a tactical load bearing vest. I got mine for $15. The pockets were about 1' to shallow to close over the pods, but with a little modification to the straps you can make them fit perfect. you now have a place 4 100 rnd pods and the mount vertically on your chest. this also provides mad protection from incoming paintballs, to the point where you will not even feel them. Also it looks Bad@ss. If you do it right they will not fall out EVER, and it is a very convenient reloading process. No fumbling to replace the tube in an area you cant see that well. I honestly wonder why nobody markets a rig like this. If you wanted to set up a holder for a hpa tank or other on the back, I dont think it would be too hard as there are all kinds of clips and places to hang stuff off of these. (thats what they are made for)

Make sure you get a pack that holds the tank in the middle. If you don't, then you will be very unbalanced when you play.

Doesn't really matter what brand just get what looks most comfortable! And get the tank holder in the center for balance.

I like my ronin gear one, but Rdz is more comfortable.

The redz packs are sweet!~ fit any pods...feel excellent...don't bounce...and if you want you can get different packs for the belt!

*I have a 2.1 dimension pack...holds two vert and another in elastic in the middle...perfect for me...have paint if you need it, not a hastle at all because it is small (i usually only hold 2 140's). I usually forget i have it on...also i don't like to play with out it, it supports your back nicely:)
