Review:
I picked this pod pack up for 25 bucks, I think I might have a newer model than the one shown in the picture, because mine has those elastic straps that shoot the pods out into your hand.
This is just a fantastic pod pack, there are literally no weaknesses. It can hold up to 9 pods, it holds 5 stock which is enough as it is. It has great back support padding. It has an easy to use single velcro strap, unlike a lot of other high end packs that have like 3 velcro flaps to engage. Some people might not like the single strap, but it works fine for me. The pack holds 140 round tubes or 100 round tubes. Action Village sent me 4 free tubes as well, so that was an extra bonus.
Conclusion:
Buy this pod pack. There is absolutely no reason to buy the newest Dye pack for 70 dollars when you can get this for 25 and it will work just as well. 10 out of 10. Possibly the best paintball-related purchase I've ever made.

Review:
I got this pack for $11 on actionvillage and i have to say, for the price, this pack is amazing it does everything an NXE pod does except cheaper. my only gripe is that the velcro for the removable padding is off center. now im sure this was done on purpose so that people would position it more to the left for easier access to the pods but imo that's something the consumer should decide.
Conclusion:
I'm giving this pack an 8 out of ten for 2 reasons. although it is just as functional as higher end packs for cheaper, im sure higher end packs are better quality, and second beacause of the velcro positioning
Rating:
8 out of 10

Review:
I bought my Java Deluxe Slam 5 for $15 off an online store and it is a great pack. I used to use a standard Java 4+1 Horizontal pack, but I was getting many pack hits and I was sick of it. This is the best pack I have ever used and it is the best deal on the market as far as I can see. Its very comfortable and it never slips down, thanks to its velcro strap insted of a plastic clip like the old one. Plus it came with free Java Pods!
