The NXe BC1 Barrel Cover was designed for ultimate protection off the field and after games. The NX-BC1 was made to form fit the barrel for a sleek look, while providing the maximum protection for those extra light triggers that happen to go off when they are not supposed to. The NX-BC1 is made out of durable 1680D Ballistic Nylon for a long, rough life.
Product Availability
The NXe Barrel Condom is newer, so it should be commonly available, both new and used.

Review:
A barrel condom will become your best friend, or your worst enemy. How? Well, you could save someone's eye by keeping it on, or you could just forget about it and end up injuring someone. I recieved my NXe Barrel Condom when I bought a new NXe Tank Cover, and I was tickled pink. This reminded me of a TV Infomercial, "But wait! There's more!", and there was!
*So, what's so good about THIS Barrel Condom?*
A barrel condom, is a barrel condom, is a barrel condom. True, but this one is different. It seems to form fit around your barrel. It's almost like it was made for your barrel. It's built out of strong material, and will stay on your barrel. No longer will you wrestle with the cord, it's the perfect length for all barrel sizes, and you can adjust it.
Conclusion:
To come free with the purchas of a tank cover was a great idea on NXe's part. I will buy more NXe products in the future. It's a great cover, and it does its job well.

Review:
Alright so like at my field they require everyone to have a barrel condom for the obvious safety reasons. So at first i had the one that came with my Ion and it was decent. Then one day I traded it to a friend for the NXE one and I loved it. It is extremely durable and looks really pimp on my Ion. Then I lost it at my friends place and was forced to buy a crap evil one which I hated to death so I bought a new NXE one and I love it and i don't plan on losing this one. NXE for the win!
Conclusion:
I absolutely love this barrel condom. it has great durability and looks absolutely pimp on my Ion! You should go out and buy one of these right now because it is awesome!

14in. Smartparts Progressive
12 Volt Revy
Strengths:
Padded at the tip
Durable
Washes Clean
Weaknesses:
Dosent fit Flatty's and APEX's
Kind'a expensive for a barrel bag
Review:
This is a good barrel bag by a good company.
+Padded at the tip
The tip of this is padded and takes the impact of a paintball well. Very secure cover.
+Durable
This barrel bag has gotten in the rain, snow, and mud and all over the woods and its still as good as the day I got it. The material is a tough nylon, sort of like canvas.
+Washes clean
After it got shot I just threw it in the washing machine. It came out like it was brand new, without a trace of paint left in it or staining th material at all.
-Doesn't fit some barrels.
This won't fit the A-5 Flatline or the APEX securely. It will fit the 98 Flatline though.
-Expensive for a barrel bag
For something like a barrel bag it's a little pricey. It's worth it though in the end.
Conclusion:
This is a great, secure, high quality barrel bag. I'd definitely recommend it.

New QEV's

Strengths:
Strong, thick material
Adjustable elastic band
Weaknesses:
Hard to "slip onto" barrel in a hurry
Review:
I bought this when I went to a field when I was out of town and had left my stock Ion's condom at home. For only five bucks, it's one helluva deal. It's strong, has good construction, and has an adjustable strap for longer barrels. The only thing I didn't like was that the design sinches the bag tight around the end of the barrel when you tighten the strap. This makes it difficult to slide on in a hurry, but this may change once it gets "broken in."
Conclusion:
I would reccomend this to any baller that has a tight budget because it's inexpensive, strong, and gets the job done at any tourney or field that condoms and not plugs are required.

Review:
Well what can i say. Um, i was looking for a cover because my plug was messing up my barrel so i went to my proshop and found this for 5 bucks. It looks cool and does what it is supposed to. Strap length is perfect(for me) but i dont know about people with longer barrels. If your looking, for a cheap, high quality cover this may be for you.

Conclusion:
I would definatley reccomend this because it is durable and cheap.

Review:
So we were at the Paintball Busters Buster Cup and 2 of my freinds needed a barrel condom. So they bought the only ones they had left, NXe for $8 Canadian. Well one of my freinds has an A-5 with a 16 inch SP Progressive, and the elastic cord didn't even make it halfway down his barrel before it ripped out of the bag. Not very safe, huh? My second freind, with a Genisis Surge, pulled his to his feedneck and dry fired to test the strength of condom. It flew right off, with quite a force too! They took them bac and got their $8 back.
EDIT, MAJOR EDIT!
I'm pretty sure that those condoms were knockoffs. I recently purchased another one, and my freind has a Joy edition one. They are different, as these have the elastic looped and the bag itself sewn around them at the base, instead of up the side.
Conclusion:
They may have gotton defective products, but they were not safe at all. Thats no good. Its a nice looking barrel condom, but it doesn't do it's job.
EDIT
Those must have been knock offs, as I have on now, and it's a different design, and its way stronger. I'm still gonna leave it as a one, cause those first ones were just scary.

silver with blue slive alias intimidator- 4500psi/71cu dye tank- unltraite barrel- halo b
Strengths:
Durable, catch balls
Weaknesses:
None
Review:
This is like any other good condom, it isn't the cheapest one, but it worth its price.
Once I was at the end of a tourney game talking with the ref, and accidentally I shot a paintball. The condom catched the ball and didn't broke it! wow!
This is a great condom, the string is also good and adjustable.
Conclusion:
I would recommend you to buy this condom, I think is one of the best condoms!
Indian Creek B2K3 w/ PDS,14" Dye Titanium Boomstick,Halo B w/ Rip Drive, FBM Thorn Drop Forward, Nitro DUck 45/4500
Strengths:
Durable
Weaknesses:
None, looks okay and works well while your using it.
Review:
This thing is pretty sick compared to most but not all barrel condoms. It comes in several colors to match your gun and if you have it on right it wont bend at the corners. The inside is made of some special material that wont scratch your barrel. This condom is adjustable so it will fit on all guns. I recomend this to any one who cares more about performance than style because it is a litlle bulky but most people dont mind. It says this should cost $10 but you shouldnt be spending more than $5 or $6 on this sock.
Conclusion:
I recomend this to people who dont mind a little bulkiness or the fact that there is a large logo on the side of it.
