| Review: |
This is a great tank cover. I think that is is just as good as the Dye Rhino 2004, I dont know about the 2005 Dye covers though. This cover does not have a rubber non slip pad on the back but it does have something there that makes it not slip. The pods srtap is awsome, it makes a extremely small profile for fast fills on the go. great for tight sopts and fast fills. You can also zip up the pod strap if you dont want to use it. You would think that the strap would get in the way but it doesnt at all. One thing that I do recomend if you can find a small pod like a 100 round instead of a 140 it is easier to play with but not that big of a difference. Also when you have the pod strap zipped up you can use it to put small things in. I use it to put my thread protector in it, and sometimes small loose change so it wont jinngle in my pants. |
|
| Conclusion: |
A great looking cover that will protect you tank very well with the think material, and it has a pod strap for extra paint and great tight spot fills. If you have ever tryed a Dye cover and are looking for a new cover try this one before going back to Dye. |

| Review: |
Allright this is just as good as pretty much any other dye tank cover. Thing is the pod holder is only nice if you cut it off and put your keys in there so you dont lose em lol. The way you should lean out and snap shoot effectivly it just gets in the way. I keep it in for the extra padding on the bottom. I suggest not trying to ply with a pod in there I can almost assure you it will open unless its a dye or JT speed pod. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good tank cover just as good as dye ones. Pod holder is very cumbersome with pod in it. Nice to have that little pocket to pust stuff in though. |

| Review: |
Well the Cover its self is nice all around but the little pouch of extra fabric make it extremley difficult for you to keep a low profile. One of the good things is the pod holder which i like because im a back man. Also the zipper on it seems to break apart. That could just be mine. I do like the ability of the pod hollder to be zipped away but it still has that extra poof of fabric |
|
| Conclusion: |
I said get it i think it is better than the dye or redz but not as sweet as my crown royal one i did |

everything a tank cover is supposed to do. |
|
| Weaknesses: |

|
| Review: |
This tank cover does a great job. it fits tight, its tough, and it looks good. what more can you ask for? The pod loop does come in handy quite often actually, espcially playing front on 5-man Xball, when you dont want to carry a pack. my only complaint is that when you dont wanna use the pod loop, it is a bit hard to zip it back up. no big deal though. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you want some high quality, sexy protection for your expensive tank investment, this is the way to go. |

| Review: |
The empire bottle cover is the bes looking bottle cover l have ever seen or used. l ordered mine, and now all my friends want one. l also got it in black so it is all one color and it still looks great. lt comes in many sizes, so it will fit mostly all hp tanks, and it also has a variety of colors to choose from. |
|
| Conclusion: |
It is better than any DYE or JT cover out there. |

| Review: |
My tank is a 48/45 so its pretty small, the only reason that i have got this cause it was the smallest one that they had but i'm not to upset about it i like it, except for the pod holder cause with a small tank the pod is just as long as the whole tank and just shakes all over te place when you play also makes the back a lot heavier so i wasnt really used to that. I just dont use the pod holder but i really like it other than the big selling point of the whole tank cover. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would get the cover but would not recommend putting a pod in the holder cause it makes it back heavy and it sways like crazy when playing |

| Review: |
so i got this tank cover for my PE 68/45. i found out later that is had an additional pod holder too (COOOOOL!) but personally i found no need for it and it was kinda difficult to put back in when u pulled it out. also, it makes a funny looking bulge when you put it on your tank.....but good idea though Empire! it came in plenty of colours which was good.......when i zipped mine onto the tank the zipper wouldn't connect" properly. i would need to pull the teeth close in order to zip it properly, otherwise it'll rip open and jam. but other than that it protects my tank, so i couldn't be bothered. overall good product |
|
| Conclusion: |
great cover for a great price.....i gave it a 9 cuz of the zipper and the pod holder but since it does the job.....MEH! |

| Review: |
I bought this cover basically on a whim. I was in a "protect my investment" mood and bought it for my PE 48/3k. I actually bought a 68ci one, but it also fits the 48s too, in case you were wondering. The cover enables me to grip my marker better and makes it a more stable firing platform. The pod holder is an ingenious idea. If i didn't have a pack, i'd probably use it. Still, very cool though. My brother pointed something out to me that was kinda cool about the pod holder. He doesn't use a pack in woodsball because he prefers the one shot, one kill method of play. However, he does sometimes get in pretty fierce firefights and the extra 150 rds out of a pod could really help. So, if you're like him you'll like the pod holder. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Its a great cover for a 48-68ci tank. I find it to be better looking than the Dye and Redz covers. The pod holder is pretty cool too. |

| Review: |
Yeah I got this a couple of weeks ago and its pretty good. Its a tank cover, nothing to be excited about. I like the pod strap, i haven't used it while playing cause i was worryin about it slippin(im a front), but when i put a pod in their it was pretty tight.
Im givin it a 10 because somthing like this is either good or bad, there's no inbetween |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get it if you like empire |

| Review: |
This is an awesome tank cover. I don't know if it's just me but the dye tank covers just get uglier and uglier each year. This cover protects well and looks great. The pod holder isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. If you don't like it don't use it. It does come in handy when you are playing a quick speedball game and don't feel like carrying your harness. Also the cover is grippy, the back has the empire logo which stuck to my shoulder perfectly. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a great product. The best i've used. |
