No one likes to be left out on the field having to call yourself out because you’re out of paint. A standard hopper is going to end up holding around 180 to 200 paintballs; if you are shooting speeds of 15 balls per second that hopper is going to be empty in a matter of seconds. Paintball pod packs provide you with the ability to grab a pod of paintballs off your waist and reload a hopper when you are on your game.
Pod packs come in a variety of sizes and styles. Starting around $10, entry level packs usually have thin, 2 ½ -3 inch nylon belts that fasten around the waste and hold anywhere from 1 to 4 pods and possibly contain a spot to hold your tank if your running a remote line. Mid-Range packs tend to have a thicker Velcro belt that will fit snug to the wearer and not be shaken off even in the most extreme dives. High end packs are designed to hold the most paint possible on a players back, and to be able to get it in their hand in the most effective way. Use of spring loaded straps to eject pods, and extra comfortable padding is the luxury you will receive with a high end pack.
A Common question when shopping for pod packs is how many pods a “3+2” pack can hold. When a pack says it is “3+2” it means that it has “3” main spots to put pods that will be strapped in and secure but along with that it has “2” extra straps to put more pods if needed. The extra spots will not be strapped in like the main 3 but they will allow you to carry more paint onto the field.
As for pods the best thing to look for is a strong and sturdy lid that is not going to pop of easily. Our Extreme Velocity discount pods come with one of the strongest lids available and do not come open easily when running around in a pack.
Pod packs can be one of the best field gear upgrades for you to purchase, they keep you in the game longer and give you the extra boost for working out even the most dug in player.
