pods and packs

[Luke Dreelan]

Hi Guys
I'm still fairly new to paintball and i am near to completing my kit collection all i need is a pack and some pods what are good suggestions for packs is it worth it to go for the expensive strapless packs or just go for the cheaper ones and in regards to pods are things like lock lids worth it or is it better to just buy the like £2 pods.

thanks Luke

I got into lock lids just as everyone else was getting out

If you’re playing in a tournament environment then definately basic pods. Use it, drop it, have a pod monkey pick them up between games - ideally have a team batch, and the team will gain or lose pods depending on the day

If in a general paintball environment such as woods etc then you don’t want to throw them away so will be putting them back or stuffing down your shirt. Good old simple basic pods slot back with ease, special ones and certainly lock lids are tight or don’t fit at all in some pod belts

Unless you have looked something over then avoid the most expensive fully featured as you don’t know if it’s worth it for you, avoid the cheap
Chinese random one. Buy a reasonable one

cheers for the responses guys based in Windsor Berkshire. Sadly won't be able to make it to ukwm this Sunday but hoping to be at the next one and definitely going to go with the cheaper but trusted brand pots thanks for the advice

Too bad I can't make it yet as well. Maybe next time.

just another quick question is it worth coming down to UKWM without being on a team?

UKWM is a 5 / 3 man tournament - so you need to have a team in order to be able to play.

I would say its still worth coming down and getting to know players, organisers and seeing what its all about

Okay I'll see if i can make it to the next one even if i haven't joined a team by then.
