|
| Strengths: |
It is very light, i was suprised at the light weight.
Doesnt move around |
|

The pod holders are a bit tight at first and need to be broken in. |
|
| Review: |
This is a great Harness. It is very light and hold enough pods. Sure the velcro is a bit loud but that shouldnt be a problem. The only bad thing i can say is that at first the pod holders were really tight and made it a bit difficult to pull the pods fast but didnt take long to break them in. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I very much recomend this product to everybody. It is made by DYE so you know it has great quality. Untill you try it you dont know what you are missing. |

|
| Strengths: |
Hold 5 pods
Looks good
Made by Dye
Fits nice and snug, comfortable
I've found that with the little loop that say "Xcel" on the front of the belt/harness part, you can put a battle-swab in there and it fits nice. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Nothing really, its basically all you would look for in a 5 pod pack.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a great harness. Holds lots of paint, works with 100 and 140 rd tubes. Fits tight, its comfortable and is made by Dye. It does what its supposed to do without any drawbacks. |

|
|
| Strengths: |
It looks pretty cool but it covers over my sexy jersey. It looks kinda funky with it on me over me jersey.
The Velcro strap is really long but you know that it won't wobble and fall off.
Pretty comfortable but I still have to get used to it on me this is this first pack i have used. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
The velcro on this is really loud. This might be bad if someone hears this they might know you are out of paintballs and then bunker you. ouch. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a good pack from what I have experienced. I have never tried on any other harnesses so I can't really say if it is better than others. I'll give it a 9 since there can be room for improvement like being a little more comfortable but i probably just have to get used to it. |

| Review: |
The pack was just ok. It didn't have the double velcro strap so that they pack was hard to make tight and it bounced alot. The velcro strap is just one long strap. When the pack was spread out on you back it was way to big and you could easily get hit. Its not that comfortable and it is hard to make tight. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would not buy this pack I would go for something else because you are paying alot of money for a not so good pack. |

| Review: |
I found out that you can fit 2 extra pods in the straps on the back of the pack
my pack is supposed to be a 4 down pack but i sewed some extra straps on and now it holds 20 pods... without sewing the straps on it held 15 for long games
This is the best pod pack ive ever used |
|
| Conclusion: |
Definately go out and buy this it is worth the money |

| Review: |
This is probably the best harness for anyone looking for a great product and a low price. It's the first "proffesional harness that I bought. It's washable, durable and keeps your back comfortable, no more unprotected hits to the kidneys. The only truly negative thing that i can think of is the strap isn't too elastic. It also doesn't have any loops for extra pods. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get this if you want a harness for some recreational or even light tourny play. If you want something a little better, the WGP harness is great and about the same price. I'd give this product an 8, because it's a straight (at least mine) 3 pack, not extra loops, but still it's a good things. |

| Review: |
This harness is great. My first harness and iam loving it so far. One main reason is because of back support. It fits nice and doesnt hurt ur back as other hanresses. I use the 140 rd. Dye pods and even filled up,,they dont bounce. That maybe because of how tight i strech the velcrow out. If you can put the harness on tight, it will do you good! I would only recommend this harness to back and mid players only. If your a jumpy and hyper player then u might want to consider a JT slammer or redz. The other good thing is that its cheap!!!! I got mine for $22 at paintball gear and it holds 5 pods!!!!!! Veryy good!! |
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall, a very great product!!! This is the only harness i use and dont plan on getting any other one!!! Great harness at a great price!!!!! I give it a 10 out of 10! |

| Strengths: |
Quick & easy removal of pods. Great company. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Very thin & somewhat short belt. You can't see the pods. Hard replacing the pods. |
|
| Review: |
This pack was a step up from my old 6+1 in most ways. It's just a big pain placing the pods back in the loops, it can be harder to find a full pod, & the belt is way too thin & short. Also it protrudes even after the pods are removed (but they almost all do). But if your in a fast-paced game then you just throw the pods to the side after using them anyway. & it's great for keeping many pods directly behing your back & out of the line of fire. The pillow is only needed or useful for very thin players. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Meh. So so harness in my opinion. I would recommend an Extreme Rage instead. |
