| Review: |
I got this pod on ebay for 7.95 i thought it was a really good steal. So it just got delivered yesterday and i went to the field today! It is so good because if you forget to fill your hopper full just leave this harness on. Stays closed good. If you are in comma cozzi battle and trigger happy just go through your hopper open your hopper then pod put balls in then BAM a full hopper. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a really good harness but the redz is better but way more money. So this is a good harness for the money. If you have the bit of extra money and you can find one get a redz. i'll give it a 8 because its pretty good but not that comfy. |

| Review: |
I bought this harness for my younger brother, seeing as they were small and light but our parents decided he was too young to play, so one day at the field I decided to use these things. I couldn't believe how nice the dang thing was! I was used to being a pack mule for the stupid 4+1 ronin gear harness that seemed to bounce up and down as much as Pamela Anderson's jugs while bouncing on a trampoline! any way, this set-up kept my pods secure and didn't bounce them at all when I ran. the best part is when you pull a velcro strap the elastic at the bottom of each pocket pushes the pod out a little, making it easy to grab. Also one good thing about only carring 2 pods is that you really need more shots to count, and you move up a lot more. Plus you save $ on paint. The only bad thing is they aren't as comfterble as some other more expensive harnesses are, but he, they cost $10 with pods included! I'm probably going to but an Nxe 4 pod pack soon and i just hope they are as nice as this lile one. |
|
| Conclusion: |
a great prodoct at a great price. From n00bs to pretty good intermediates these things are just fun to play with. |

| Review: |
This is a good pack it is small and usually stays out of the way except when I was crawling or laying on the ground it sometimes slid off my back also when I was running it bouned up and down and made a lot of noise. So I only gave it an 8. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would reccomend this pack to anyone who likes a small pack at a cheap price. |

| Review: |
I got the NXE 4+1 harness and used the remote option a little while but decided that it was too heavy and bulky. I really liked the quality construction on the harness by NXE so I decided to stay with them and bought the two pack harness. At first I was very happy with the harness because it was so light but after a few time playing it some of the problems with it became very annoying. Because the Pack is not permanently attached to the belt (like my 4+1 harness), it slides in the belt and does not stay in place. I was in the middle of a game and when I reached for a pod, they were not there. The pack had slipped all the way to my hip (which I was laying on) without me even realizing it. This simple flaw has caused me much confusion in the middle of many games. Besides that, it is a well made (sturdy) product. I think that next time out I will try tightening the belt and try to keep the pack in place by using duct tape or something similar. |
|
| Conclusion: |
With some modifications this can be a very useful piece of equipment if you only need two pods of paint. |

| Review: |
I sold my other POS harnesses to my frends, and i needed a new harness, so i bought this at the local field. its a good harness, it just doesnt hold that much. it has the ejection straps which are ok, but i would just cut them off because they get in the way sometimes. the blet on this sucks pretty bad and if you dont have the pack on tight it moves around a lot. i got it mainly because its cheap and holds paint. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Its good if your low on money(or time) and you just need a small amount of paint. i always run out though, so if you have a gun that is fast buy something a bit bigger |

| Review: |
This harness is a cheap harness, it doesnt hold much, when i play i always tighten the belt as much as i can the the pack is always sliding around. The harness does keep the pods in their holders, no pods fall out of the harness. I knew it was a cheap pack but that is wat i wanted i didnt want to go and buy a 50 dollar pack. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I dont recommend this pack for anyone because it is uncomfortable it doesnt hold enough pods and it slides around on your back. If you want to get a cheap harness and dont car how it feals then this would be a o.k. pack to get. |

| Review: |
I picked this up for very little money as par of a bulk buy of other bits and bobs. I don't use a lot of paint in games and so this provided for my needs perfectly. The belt is a little cheap and nasty, but does hold the pack in place on your body. It does move around a little, but I found this an advantage - it enabled me to swing the pack around the belt to the front when reloading, which saves fumbling around behind your back, and then shove it to the small of my back when done.
The elasticloops work a treat - as soon as you remove the velcro the pod pops out a few inches and is easy to remove.
The belt is rather uncomrfortable, and way too thin - but it can easily be removed and replaced with a wider and more comfortable belt if required. |
|
| Conclusion: |
The pack itself is superb, and easy to use; it's perfect for a player who doesn't use a lot of paint when playing. It 's just a shame that the belt is so uselss; I would have rated higher if it came without! |

| Review: |
I like this pod harness . The reason i dont use it anymore though is because when i was running to bunker someone we crossed fire and his paintballs hit the buckle on the belt and the paint busted it all up. Now i did go to 3 feields with the harness before it did this.FYI/// Luckily the pro shop fixed me right up with a better harness .I never had the common problem people associate with the harness of being bouncy and move around on the belt, and i do suggest sewing the pack to the belt if it occurs for someone else. I would consider this to be a good beginer harness one for being low costing which is good cause you dont need to spend alot of money on something ur just starting out learning , two for the amount of pods that it can hold 2 or 3 pendin on which one u get-beats carring it in your pocket. i give it this rating cause it didnt give me crabs and that it served its purpose |
|
| Conclusion: |
If your just getting in to the sport get it and then buy the expensive more durable harness. |

| Review: |
ok, this is basically a starter harness. It holds two pods, and is very, very simple. it does it's job but , at least in my view, there are better sytems out there. this harness, like i said is very simple, but its really cheap (hey what do you expect for $12), the belt lets the pods slide around anywhere and get in the way. the holders are smaller, so you have to push the pods in(maybe it was supposed to be a spring loaded release?) so after you reload, its very hard to keep your pods in.
I'm not going to completely bash it though. this is a good beginner sytem, its cheap, and it does its job. after you use something else, though, this is nothing |
|
| Conclusion: |
A good simple first harness, cheap. |

| Review: |
I have been in paintball for a while but only in past few months have I gotten my own gear. I never used a pod before, and had always run out of ammo at the worst times. I was buying my marker, camo, mask and all that, and I saw some different pod packs sitting there. I was already forking out a lot of cash today, so expensive was bad, so most of them even tho they looked great where no way I could get them. Happened across this little gem, and saw a cheep price tag with pods included, so I picked it up. It has been on me every game I have played since then and has saved my but several times already. The built in ejection system is very nice to have and the pods that come with this are bullet proof, they just stay closed. Its not the most conferrable belt on this thing, but its again cheep, and it stays on me so I can’t complain about that. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Simply, it JSUT WORKS. For the guy strapped for cash, just need a small pod pack for smaller games, or a started player; this is the pack for you. I plan on getting a vest for some LARGE games I plan to do next year, but this thing well stay with me for those smaller games where a vest is just overkill. I consider this the best investment I mad for paintball besides my J&J barrel. |
