Tippman 98 Custom,
Smart Parts Progressive 16" Barrel,
20 oz CO2 tank,
Response Trigger,
12V Revolution,
Homemade CO2 Cover
Strengths:
Holds Paintballs
Weaknesses:
Flops around when your moving
Pods move wherever they want on the belt.
Review:
These pods are alright if you don't care about carrying lots of paint and are planning on not moving the entire game. If you do plan on moving during the game, then these pods will slide around and flop against your butt. As far as paint carrying goes, they only hold two pods so it's not even worth it.
Conclusion:
These pods aren't good for running, and they aren't good for staying in one spot and laying down paint. these pods are not good for anything. I strongly suggest spending more money on a better harness, preferably a vest.

Autococker Trilogy Competition with a double finger trigger/frame, shocktech drop forward, Custom Products Ball Detent, Evil Slip Smokestack, 14" Dye Boomstick, Halo TSA Backman, 20oz CO2 tank
Strengths:
Simple, light
Weaknesses:
Gets in the way, doesn't hold a lot, hard to put pods back in
Review:
ok, this is basically a starter harness. It holds two pods, and is very, very simple. it does it's job but , at least in my view, there are better sytems out there. this harness, like i said is very simple, but its really cheap (hey what do you expect for $12), the belt lets the pods slide around anywhere and get in the way. the holders are smaller, so you have to push the pods in(maybe it was supposed to be a spring loaded release?) so after you reload, its very hard to keep your pods in.
I'm not going to completely bash it though. this is a good beginner sytem, its cheap, and it does its job. after you use something else, though, this is nothing

Review:
I have been in paintball for a while but only in past few months have I gotten my own gear. I never used a pod before, and had always run out of ammo at the worst times. I was buying my marker, camo, mask and all that, and I saw some different pod packs sitting there. I was already forking out a lot of cash today, so expensive was bad, so most of them even tho they looked great where no way I could get them. Happened across this little gem, and saw a cheep price tag with pods included, so I picked it up. It has been on me every game I have played since then and has saved my but several times already. The built in ejection system is very nice to have and the pods that come with this are bullet proof, they just stay closed. Its not the most conferrable belt on this thing, but its again cheep, and it stays on me so I can’t complain about that.
Conclusion:
Simply, it JSUT WORKS. For the guy strapped for cash, just need a small pod pack for smaller games, or a started player; this is the pack for you. I plan on getting a vest for some LARGE games I plan to do next year, but this thing well stay with me for those smaller games where a vest is just overkill. I consider this the best investment I mad for paintball besides my J&J barrel.
Autococker Trilogy Sport
14 inch progressive
Pure Energy 3000 48
Strengths:
It's small, compact, light, auto eject
Weaknesses:
It swings around a bit
The belt kinda sucks
Review:
I took this balling the other day, and in the heat of crunchball, i ran out of paint. I reached back and pulled the velcro, and the pod popped right out into my waiting loving hands. It did what it's supposed to do. It's pretty much balanced. It's nice. Especially for a budget baller like me it swings around a bit, but with only 2 pods worth of weight, it doesn't make that big of a difference. The belt could be padded, but whatever, it still works
Conclusion:
Tt's good, i'd buy it if i were on a budget, which i did, and i'm satisfied. It could be better, but once again, whatever, it's just a harness

Review:
I bought this harness for my younger brother, seeing as they were small and light but our parents decided he was too young to play, so one day at the field I decided to use these things. I couldn't believe how nice the dang thing was! I was used to being a pack mule for the stupid 4+1 ronin gear harness that seemed to bounce up and down as much as Pamela Anderson's jugs while bouncing on a trampoline! any way, this set-up kept my pods secure and didn't bounce them at all when I ran. the best part is when you pull a velcro strap the elastic at the bottom of each pocket pushes the pod out a little, making it easy to grab. Also one good thing about only carring 2 pods is that you really need more shots to count, and you move up a lot more. Plus you save $ on paint. The only bad thing is they aren't as comfterble as some other more expensive harnesses are, but he, they cost $10 with pods included! I'm probably going to but an Nxe 4 pod pack soon and i just hope they are as nice as this lile one.
Conclusion:
a great prodoct at a great price. From n00bs to pretty good intermediates these things are just fun to play with.

Strengths:
Ejection Feature
Weaknesses:
Belt. Can't get any more concise than that.
Review:
I usually don't shoot much. I've only ever had to reload twice, else a single hopper has been plenty. This harness is perfect for me; it's small, compact, and can be strapped on my back or leg (who knows?), though it sits quite comfortably on my side, abnd the ejection feature (elastic-fused straps sit underneath the pods, pushing them up into your hand when you tear away the velcro strap). The most glaring fault, though, is the belt. The loops on the harness are too big, and that allows the harness to move around quite a bit. It's migrated from one side of me to the other during a match. This can be an advantage, though, as if you want to slide without landing on your paint, you can easily relocate everything. Still, the bouncing about and moving gets annoying. If the belt loops had been smaller, or the harness was one piece, rather than using a seperate belt, this would be a lot more secure and comfortable.
Love that elastic, though. No more struggles with short pods.
Conclusion:
If you only need a small amount of extra paint, this is a fine choice. Even if you need a ton, the ejection feature is on all of their harnesses.

Review:
I got this for only $15 and it came with a belt and two 150rd pods. This was great cause I only had about $20 to spend and was looking for something cheap and reliable. This is great harness and a great value. I would recomend it to anyone who wants something little and cheap.
Conclusion:
Great Cheap Belt, perfect for bugets and front players.

Weaknesses:
Bad belt
Review:
Good, simple pack.
Ejection feature, so when you rip open the velcro enclosure the pack lifts the pod up.
Nice looking...NXe always makes some decent looking products
Durable design that wont tear to easily
It's a good pack for quick speedball games....our speedball games don't last but 2 to 3 minutes and a hopper plus 2 pods is all I need for 2 back to back speedball games.
The supplied belt absolutley sucks.....it folds and bunches up...better to use a leather belt that you might have at home.
I hope this is at least 50 words
Conclusion:
Decent pack....good ejection system which makes it easy to grab the pod during high intensity games.....the belt sucks badly though!

Review:
This is a good pack it is small and usually stays out of the way except when I was crawling or laying on the ground it sometimes slid off my back also when I was running it bouned up and down and made a lot of noise. So I only gave it an 8.
Conclusion:
I would reccomend this pack to anyone who likes a small pack at a cheap price.

Strengths:

Weaknesses:

Review:
I got this pod on ebay for 7.95 i thought it was a really good steal. So it just got delivered yesterday and i went to the field today! It is so good because if you forget to fill your hopper full just leave this harness on. Stays closed good. If you are in comma cozzi battle and trigger happy just go through your hopper open your hopper then pod put balls in then BAM a full hopper.
Conclusion:
This is a really good harness but the redz is better but way more money. So this is a good harness for the money. If you have the bit of extra money and you can find one get a redz. i'll give it a 8 because its pretty good but not that comfy.
