|
| Strengths: |
Excellent profile - it doesn't stick out like other big packs. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Where to begin...
1 - Too bouncy. The suspenders are elastic, and don't work well.
2 - Comfort belt is anything but confortable for "big" guys.
3 - Pod flaps are limp - so its very hard to get them back in place.
4 - Pod openings aren't reinforced, so they can close when trying to put back your pods.
5 - Hard to reach pod locations. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Unless you got arms like a monkey, don't mind losing pods as your pack bounces on your back, and have eyes behind your head to get them back into those limp holders, don't get this pack.
Just like the Redz knee gaurds I got...this was another over-priced disappointment. I now avoid Redz altogether. |

**STRENGTHS**
QUALITY- Like every other Redz product that I've used, this pack was put together extremely well. Ive used it hard for about 2 years now, and have yet to run into any problems. The pack still holds it shape and hasnt had any holes torn in it like other packs that Ive used.
CAPACITY- This thing is a monster! You can hold over 1,000 paintballs in this thing.
PROFILE- Even though this pack is exceptionally large, it still maintains a nice small profile. It doesn't stick out at all, and is so tight to my back that I rarely have to worry about a pack shot.
COMFORT- This pack evenly distributes the weight of all that paint, making it extremely comfortable to wear. Granted, you are carrying alot of wieght on your back, but it still isnt uncomfortable.
BELT- Although many people complain about having to buy the belt seperate, I am rather fond of the Reds Comfort Belt. It fits extremely well, and it very comfortable. Although it is rather wide, it is still easy to crouch and move around in.
**WEAKNESSES**
COST- Lets face it. This pack is extremely expensive. But I beleive that you are getting what you pay for with Redz. So in the end, it is well worth it.
BOUNCES- My only serious complaint about this pack is that sometimes all the weight of the paint on my back bounces up and down while running. Its nothing major, but it is an annoyance. Usually I can solve the problem by simply tightening the belt up. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This pack is an excellent pack! I would reccomend it to anyone. Redz has managed to make another extremely high quality product that would satisfy any paintballer. |

| Strengths: |
Very comfortable, especially for how much it weighs with a full load. Great capacity, about half a case. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
well first there's the price, then there's the quality. I don't mind paying a little more for a good product, but this one was very disappointing. It is made of pretty cheap material and does not hold it's shap well at all in the field, the flaps that hold your tubes in are very weakly reinforced, so they are too soft to hold your tubes in place when your running around on the field. I have already lost 4 tubes and more paint than I would like to think about with these flimsey flaps. They also need to throw on a holder for a barrel cleaner. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This would be a great product with a few simple changes:
1. Reinforce flaps, The current ones are completly unexceptable for the extreme demands on the field.
2. Include the belt with the pack. (otherwise pricewise there are too many better products out there for a cheaper price.)
3. Add the squeegie holder, come on!
This pack can definitely carry a lot of paint into battle comfortably, it's just cheaply made. I'd go with the "Blackstar action pack" much better quality, just not as much cargo room. |

| Strengths: |
holds a lot of paintballs
won't fall off
pretty comfortable |
|
| Weaknesses: |
it's a little bit heavy because you are carrying a lot of paint.. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I like mine a lot. You can carry over half a case of paint around with you. you half to be careful not to tighten the belt to much because it will hurt your stomach. I will give this product a 9 because I have never found anything that it worth a 10 |
