Horribly inaccurate. Throwing paint at someone would be more reliable.
Review:
Not much to say here. Didn't work with my cocker or the Xtra. I tried using the stock barrel, a CP .689, J&J ceramic and stock Xtra barrel. Nothing mattered. It just hooks all over the place. No, it doesn't roll out. Fits nicely.
One positive note, it didn't chop. At least the shell didn't get brittle. It does mark the target good and breaks decently...if you *do* hit the target that is.
Conclusion:
Don't waste your hard-earned $$$ on this. I suppose if it's a choice between Brass Eagle or Polar Ice and it's cold, well...
I haven't used any other winter balls, but Evils and Marbs are pretty good as long as they are not being used when it is colder than 40 degrees Farenheit.
Marker Setup:
Tippmann 98 Custom with Dye Ultralight 14"
Recommended Barrels:
Dye Ultralight, Armson Stealth, anything really, even the flatline for Tippmanns.
Strengths:
Hard shell, gun won't chop balls, even in the cold. Bright fill
Weaknesses:
None
Review:
I started paintballing in the winter, so I was born using Polar Ice, if you know what I mean.
Polar Ice work amazing, especially in the winter, even in Wisconsin where it can get pretty cold. I remember paintballing last year with them when it was below zero and my friends and I could hardly move we had so much clothing on, yet they still worked perfectly fine, even when everyone else's balls were chopping in their guns and freezing up.
They are doing their work this year too, and guess what; almost no one was using balls other than Polar Ice when my friends and I paintballed the other day, when it was around 30 degrees Farenheit outside. And the only people who were not using them had rough problems; I made off with a friend's two hopper fulls of balls that were smashed just from bouncing around on each other. I did manage to save around 350 of those balls by wiping them down that night ;-)
Conclusion:
Polar Ice is the best paint you can buy if you play in the winter. Period.
10/10 if you are playing in the winter, and even pretty good if it is not cold outside.

Review:
These paintballs are great if you play in cold weather. Never had a problem with them at all. They fly good and break on impact. You really only need these if you play in cold weather, like the name says. But if it wasn't for these I don't think i would play in the cold at all. Other wise the paintballs would be breaking all the time and it wouldn't be worth playing.
Conclusion:
Great paint for cold weather. I recommend this paint for anyone that plays in cold weather.

Review:
Out of every paintball type that i have used this is most definatly the best. i have used then in the summer and they seem to work just as good. personally i dont think that they are expensive. after my bad time with useing premuims, they broke about 1 every 150 shots, but that isnt that bad. it was mainly due to my bolt. i have almost finished my first case and i would say i have only broken about 15 and those were mainly chops due to my hopper not feeding fast enough.
Conclusion:
I am going to give this product a 10 because its the best paint that i have every used

Review:
The paintballs work perfectly in the J&J ceramic, its the perfect ball for the perfect barrel. I was amazed by how accurate and consistant the paint and barrel worked. I bought 1000 rnds and had to save 250 just bc they worked so nice i wanted to keep using them. Price can get a little high i think i payed like 16.99 a bag of 500. But for how excellant they worked it was worth it, the bright green showed up on everythign and every1, and after gettin pelted by a few of these people were calling their selves out instead of staying in.
Conclusion:
The best of the best for the colder months of using paint. Works like a dream with the ceramic, bright thick fill, thick shell, wont break in barrel or guns, breaks on contact every time.
These paintballs work well in cold weather. They break on target, and don't chop easily.
Weaknesses:
no performance problems, i was very happy with the cold weather performance. a LITTLE more expensive than normal paint, but worth the cold weather performance.
Conclusion:
I would reccomend these to anyone that paintballs in cold weather. These paintballs arent made for warm weather, so don't judge them by warm weather performance!
boomstick, don't get it longer then 14", its pretty much a waste of wieght
Strengths:
good for playihng in cold wheather. i was playing with 6 of my freinds in a backyard and it was 20 degrees F. The paintballs worked perfectly, not one broke in my barrel/ chop, out of 1,200 shots. never found that they didn't break on target.
Weaknesses:
nothing, just use them in cold wheather, thats what they are meant for.

Conclusion:
very good product. serves its purpose as a cold weather ball but if u use it in the summer u are a moron. people who said it is expensive obviously bought it as field paint, duh they jack up the price
Stock Barrel on spyder suprisingly works real good
-CP 1 Piece
Strengths:
-Work Great in winter

-Straight
-Usually Break on target
-Thick Fill
-Made my RPS
Weaknesses:
-Price
-Not all of them break on target (6-15)
Conclusion:
I think they are the best for winter, I will give it a 9 because on time i hit my friend in forehead and thing still didn't break. All of these kids that gave it a 2 are prolly playing with them in like 70 degrees. They work best in about 30 degrees, and dont give these a bad review if you are playing with them in the summer, they are meant for the winter.Good job RPS
