| Review: |
Well i've been playing paintball for about 12 years now both competitively and recreational, and have never felt the need to throw a hundred bucks down on a pair of pants to play paintball in. Well i finally got the itch to go pick a pair up. I guess cause i don't like to wear a cup or knee pads so i wanted something that could help me out with protection in these areas without having to wear them.
Well since i wanted to make this a cheap as possible decision i spent some time looking around and reading reviews on the Internet. Well since the hybrid contract killers are new i couldn't find anything on them. Not even here! I looked and noticed they had the necessary padding i was looking for, were not overly priced like most pants (got mine for $85), and look pretty good too for the record.
When i did receive them, which didn't take long, i found the sizing to run a little different. And this is the only problem i have found. I first received a large (waist was good size but legs a little shorter than i would like). I ended up having to send them back and get an extra large. And i'll let you know i'm not a big guy, about 6' but only about a buck 90. When i received my extra large it ended up being the waist a little big (even with the straps tightened) and the legs being just right. I decided to keep these ones, cause i found with the back pad they include you can make more personal adjustments to the size of the waist, even though i don't think this is what it was meant for.
Well It was time to test them on the field. I played on a hot humid day and thought my luck of staying cool wouldn't be very good. Well i hit the field running and didn't stop all day. Not once did i have a problem with my legs being hot or having a problem kneeling or moving at all. Knee pads worked great, and let me tell you i have never had more bounces in my life. I almost felt bad or that people thought i was cheating because of the amount of bounces i took. I even had one person give me a look over because they knew they hit me but felt i just didn't call myself out. Well sorry, but he was wrong.
After using these for the day, i have honestly learned why they designed and market the paintball pant. Anyone that's serious about the sport should look into a pair. And i do recommend the contract killers from hybrid. One cause it's a great company that makes great products, two cause they work great from protection to keeping you cool, and three cause they make you look good! Even got some positive comments on how they look at the field! |
|
| Conclusion: |
I give this product a 9 out of 10. It is an all around great pant made by a great company, but the one problem i found was the sizing. Maybe for you it won't be a problem, but i found myself stuck in between sizes. If this happens to you though i would recommend going bigger cause you'll be much appreciative of the bagginess once you get in a fire fight. |

| Review: |
So first of all I've seen all over the web that these particular pants fit differently. My first impressions were the same, I usually wear a 32 waist which is I would assume a medium but when I tried on the large they fit like a glove. The thing was that the price tag from the manufacturer said it was a large but the pants say on them that they are a medium. I would've knocked down the score for the sizing problems but mine seemed to work out nicely so no complaints here.
I live in a small town and so it's very hard to get anything for paintball without going through the internet. We don't even have a place in town that fills HPA yet, but when I saw these I knew I had to get them seeing as we were playing the next day in 3 feet of snow in April (just last week). I paid $100 for em (least expensive ones in the shop by $50) and when I told my buddies over the phone they thought I was crazy but by the end of our outing the next day they had a completely different attitude. We played for 4 hours in the deep snow and by the end of it everyone and everything was soaked, except for my bottom half.
Now, I know that these aren't made for woodsball or anything but the point I'm trying to get across is that they are durable and made for our sport. If they can stand up in some nasty woodsball I think they can take more than a few rounds in a speedball arena. They can keep you warm, dry and still comfortable in the nastiest conditions.
The knee padding and crotch padding are a perfect match and I also got lots of compliments on how cool they look. Also, the pockets are extra deep and perfect for squeegees. I'm the first one of my group to get anything like pants or a jersey but I think it really set the bar high. By the end of our day there was a couple of the guys saying how much they needed to get something like them. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall, I don't know what I did before without them. They easily made up their worth in the first hour of play and should last a long time. I'm thoroughly pleased and know that you would be too. Just make sure you try them on at your store before you buy to get the best fit. |

| Review: |
These are great pants. I preffered them over my C4s, so I picked up a pair. at 80 dollars, they're pretty reasonably priced. So far I have had no problems with them, exept that the little rubber par on the knee was ripped off while sliding through some dirt, but that doesn't effect the preformance at all. They're still nice pants, and I'm happy with them. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Pretty nice pants for the buck, but there are definatly nicer ones out there. |

| Review: |
I have used a few different types of paintball pants and these are the best ones yet. My team uses these pants and we all love them. They are very comfortable and are light weight. They also are well padded. To add to all of this, they look great! They have to be one of the best looking pair of pants made. I wouldnt wear any other pants but these. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would suggest these to anyone. They are great and for only $100. Hybrid did a great job on these! |

| Review: |
I bought these pants last month, and have played with them 3 times. They are really comfortable, and let a lot of air in. there is also so much padding on the knees, i dont have to wear knee pads. they are also pretty light. These pants are definatley amoung the nicer pairs, and dont have a $150 price tag |
|
| Conclusion: |
These pants are really nice, and are worth the cost. |

| Review: |
Well I have heard people have had problems with the sizing of these pants. But I didnt because I bought them at a shop. The first thing I noticed was how cool they looked compared to the other pants out there! You got the Bullets for the belt, and all the rubber decals. They just looked so cool. The first time I played with these, it was a hot day and I personally thought I was gonna fry in the pants! But I actually stayed pretty cool. The mesh lining is very comfurtable and breaths well. The only thing I wore under these were a pair of shorts, and proto neepads. I cant tell you how good the pading feels with no neepads on, but they look pretty nice. Also they are very very light weight. I can run and get around easy with these on, without having them fall down.
The only downside to these pants were they were sooo slick when I first got them. The first time I slid into a bunker I overslid it and was out in the open. That doesnt really count as a weekness but it wasnt fun lol. But after the first time you wash these the slickness will go away. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I highly recommend these pants if you are looking to spend good money on a pair of pants. I give this a 10 out of 10 because I think it is the best pair of pants made! |
