I believe the term is "pod mule."

Eighteen pods. 2520 rounds. Over a full case of paintballs. Sure, its overkill but nobody ever said you were subtle, correct?
Combo includes:
- BT Merc Vest
- BT Duty Belt (size matches vest size)
- Six BT MOLLE 3+4 Paintball Pod Pouches
- Two BT MOLLE Thigh Rigs
- BT General Purpose Zipper Pouch
- Eighteen 140 count camo paintball pods

No idea why they've priced it that much, though.

so after Canadian Carnage I def want to get better knee pads and maybe some slider shorts for under my pants. I don't care about getting hit with paint but OMG to those falls and dives hurt

Shorts
These are the ones that I have:

Shock Doctor's SHOCKSKIN 5-PAD EXTENDED THIGH IMPACT SHORT

I would have gone for the ones below, but I found a pretty good deal on the ones above. I bought this brand instead of regular paintball ones as they're meant for football and come with a cup insert "pocket."

Preferred ones.

Paintball ones are often MUCH cheaper. You can expect to pay $35 to $65 for them new. Though, it wouldn't hurt to check out your local Canadian Tire, Walmart, or Sport Check.

Kneepads

I love playing with Walmart volleyball kneepads under my pants with the built-in pads. They're $8 and super comfy. I also use them in the barn when herding pigs with a board. It made a huge difference in how sore my knees would be at the end of the day.

Paintball ones are significantly more, but also often offer shin protection. Mike of TechPB swears by Dye's kneepads. Here's a PM he sent me when I asked him about kneepads.

Re: Knee Pads
Dye knee pads, best ones on the market. They are the only knee pads that come "pre-curved", so they are alot more comfortable to bend your knees with when you wear them. All the other ones come "flat"

Jaccen wrote:Hello,

I recently saw your post in this thread:

Tourney pants

where you talk about pants not being as important as knee pads. Do you have any suggestions on knee pads?

Thanks for your time,

Jason

I bought some used Empire ones and they work pretty good. He's right in that they don't come pre-curved and don't fully cover above the knee, but I'm not as worried about that. When I'm kneeling down, my main concern is covering the knee and below, not what's above. To each their own. If you're buying new, the Dye ones are about the same as all the other ones. Though, I think the new Empire ones are also pre-curved. Paintball ones will stay in place better in a slide. Volleyball ones are "cushier" and much cheaper. You can try out my pair if you'd like. I'm pretty sure Quango also uses a pair.

When I do another US order you're more than welcome to get in on the order. Paintballgear.ca also has some.

I finally have a use for that big piece of lexan I have lying around!

Link for mirrored film?

Go to any hardware store for the window mirror "decals." Should be something along the lines of $6 to $8 per square metre. If you already have the lexan, I could see you doing this easily for under (worst case scenario) $50.

I actually think $25 is possible if you play your cards right.
