Quickly replacing traditional barrel plugs, the soft barrel sock is fashionable and fits into your pocket comfortably. The unique elastic tip design catches misfired balls without breaking them. Red, yellow, blue, gray.

-Dye
Weaknesses:
-Price
Review:
Its great for what it does, it keeps you from shooting others when you don't mean to. It's better than plugs because it has an adjustable band that will hold it on the barrel so it doesn't come off with the first shot. It comes in a bunch of colors that all look awesome.

Review:
Theres not too much to say about this. It gets the job done, and it's safer than a barrel plug. It looks cool, but the price is a tiny bit high. It will catch paintballs like it said. It is really durable too. By just looking at it, you know it's going to last a long time.
Conclusion:
Great Barrel cover. But the price is a little high.

Alright let me start off by saying that this is one of the more "snazzy" condoms out there, most others are just square or lack designe. But I imagine that if you seen a picture you figured that out for yourself. For the more color coordinated players out there (I guess im guilty) you can get these a varity of different colors. Another thing is the material used, Dye used a very strong material to be sure that this condom stoped the ball and that it will last. I never had a accident or tested this thing to see if this will stop the ball from breaking unlike other condoms. But what turns away most buyers is the steap price, I mean $15 for a barrel condom! You can find some condoms that are only $5 and will work just as good.
Conclusion:
Great product, will cost ya more then the other condoms out there, but its the finnishing touch for any high end marker out there. The bottom line is that it works
CCI Phantom Gravity Feed Bottom Line - PMI Extreme Rage Hopper - PMI Elbow - Pure Energy 12 oz. CO2 Tank - Draxxus Scorch Paintballs
Strengths:
Very durable. Strong. Nicely made. Doesn't fly off barrel if put right.
Weaknesses:
a bit pricey when compared to other condoms; ball breaks inside (DYE lied!)
Review:
Looks:
Pretty cool colors and style.
Performance:
As I plan to test out with all barrel covers, I decided to shoot my gun with the cover on, so I did. The ball happened to break (go figure) and paint sprayed everywhere! The cover flew off too, but I guess that was because I didn't put it on very tight. Also, you could tell by feeling the cover that it's very well-made and will last a very long time. Now about the price, $8 is a bit much for a barrel cover (or not, lol) when you could buy a cool Evil or Smart Parts cover for about $5. But it's pretty much worth it to get this cover.
Conclusion:
Overall, this condom is great to have, if you have the money to buy it.

Review:
This has been by far the best barrel condom that i have ever purchased. The sock it self is sturdy and it has nylon strap, Some of the main reasons why I like it is because it matches all of the dye pants and Jerseys. And the thing at the end catches a ball if you shoot when it is on. And like all dye products it comes with a cool sticker.

Review:
Pros:
You can match the color with you gun
It actually catches the ball!
VERY durable
Fairly priced
Looks cool
Oh yeah, it comes with Dye sticker
Cons:
The elastic gets warped after too much stretching
Kinda hard to wash
The condom is really cool and for the price is a definant must have. But there are those sexy chicks on the Smart Parts condoms too......in the end I think their about equal.
Conclusion:
If you want a cool barrel condom that goes with your gun.........BUY IT! The only problem is, people might try to steal it because its so cool.
I've used the regular ViewLoader rubber plugs and the Dye condom is so much better
Marker Setup:
ViewLoader Triton (spyder clone) with 20oz c02 canister. Upgraded with custom IISports 14" barrel.
Strengths:
The Dye condom is bulletproof, strong strap. Rugged good looks.
Weaknesses:
Structurally, there is nothing weak about this product. The price is a bit steep though.
Review:
The actual pouch is reinforced and nothing will go through it, my friends with who tried them with their markers reported that it can take quite a punishment .All the stiching is very thick and reinforced so balls will not go through. The strap looks like it is built to last.
Conclusion:
I would definately advise you to buy this, although it is more expensive than the regular models, you won't have to replace it as often. Plus it looks cool!

Review:
This thing does what it does while looking cool and being very durable and strong. The elastic almost wasnt long enough for my setup (14") but I managed by just taking off the plastic clip completely. DYE did not think of the design of this on the can, It looks and feels really cool.
