Review:
I bought this pack of my friend for 8 dollars, so I really got a steal. It's a great harness, It's VERY comfortable, and best of all it has elastic that streches over the tubes. When you go to unvelcrow the tube that you want, the tube convieniently shoots up into your hand.
Conclusion:
This is an absolutely awesome harness. You should definately go buy this.
Key Strengths:
--Comfortable, this pack may not have a lumbar support pad like most new ones but it is comfortable as all. There is a grip pad on your back when the pack is on that is made of a rubbery foam, very soft.
--Small, this is not as small as the Redz 3.3 Dimension pack but it can compare. It's really small which allows for a...
--Low Profile, I didn't have to adjust my tucking and kneeling abilities after I got this. I yet to take a pack hit and I don't think I will ever see one.
--Price, best bang-for-buck Pack on the market. Hands down. 40 dollars is almost a steal for the 3 Pod Pak.
--Ejection Sleeve, a somewhat new design. The elastic sleeve has no-slip-grip on it to prevent movement. When you pull the strap and push on the elastic the pod pops out with little-no effort.
--Doesn't move, ever, this is true. It doesn't move at all. What more can you ask of a Pod Pack?
Key Weaknesses:
--None, I speak the truth. Nothing is wrong with this pack.
Conclusion:
If you want a Pod Pack, buy an NXe. NXe is a new and upcoming company so not many people know about their stuff but when it starts to pick up it'll take off.
If I could I'd give this pack a 12 but I'll settle for the 10.

uhhh....., hmmm, im thinkiung....honestly none
Review:
lets see, when u pick this thing up, its light, compact and it doesnt bounce, u strap it on, its got 4 belts so this thing will never bounce and u will never loose it (i dont kno how u can loose a pack). its got a cool soft foamy non slippy back pad. also, the pod holders arent made of the old nylon rough stuff that scratches even ur pods, it soft and slippy so the pods come out asap. finally, we get to the pod ejectors. the harder u push the pod in, the farther they shoot out when u pull the strap. this is the best solution to tight packs.
Conclusion:
this is the best pack i have seen byfar. the redz is pretty good too but it doesnt have pod ejectors so i would still go with the nxe. pod ejectors rock. pod ejectors rock. pod ejectors rock. pod ejectors rock. pod ejectors rock. pod ejectors rock. pod ejectors rock. pod ejectors rock.

Review:
this pack is truley the best i have every used. before i used a redz 3.2 and i thought that was pretty nice but when you get this pod pack you will fully forget about that old redz pack. when i got it i tried it on. first off you can make this pack rwally tight so that there is absolutly no moving at all. one of the key features is the pod ejection system. the way it works is that instead of making the fabric limit the pod size (or how high you can push your pods up) they pul an elastic strip so when you put a pod in it the top of the pod will cause the elestic to streach, so when you go to open the pod slot the elastic will push the pod down a good 2 to 3 inches so you can grab and load. the looks of this pack are AMAZING, you can tell NXe spent alot of time on this and they came out with IMO the best pod pack avalible.
Conclusion:
if you are looking for a new pack forget all the Dye, Jt, Redz ones and get the NXe. it is cheaper than all of them and it comes with a belt built in. if you are in the market look no ferther than NXe for pod packs. they simply are the best, period.
I have never used a pac before but as I get better, I find I stay in a game longer. So I need more paint. I am 6 foot and 210 lbs. My son is 5'10" 140 lbs and the belt fits both of us just great. No jiggle and very secure. It's got this double wrap kind of velcro contraption that really holds it secure. I was never uncomfortable squatting or kneeling or crawling on my belly. It felt like it was "part" of me. I used Fat boy 140 pods and they fit tightly but not too tight. When I released them, they popped out but held in place perfectly. Another player guy really liked how it worked and fit. My son says he wished he had gotten the 5 pod. Overall, I am extremely pleased.
