JT Gearsack

[smartecosse]

i've seen the reviews on these and read the comments, are they really worth the £120 +vat. And just how big are they, can u fit ALL the essentials in including the kitchen sink or does a marker hopper and mask fill it up?
And finally whats the cheapest place to get one from if i do decide to go ahead with one??

thanks

I've got one and the only problem with it is that I can't put my marker in it, due to the air system. Also my previous marker couldn't fit because of the drop forward.

The main nice thing about them is that they make it easy to cart around the rest of your stuff.

I have a Mantis rucksack, there was a review in PGI a little while ago, I can get everything in it including my air tank, I do have a drop forward on it too, but I bought a little quick release for the drop forward from NW Paintball this got me round the problem of it all fitting. the rucksack is about half the price of the JT one, and the only difference I can see is the straps on the JT one are more heavily padded. Don't have a web address for Mantis but I'm sure someone will help you out, if only as an alternative rucksack to look at.

To answer what you can put in it, an Angel AIR .68 (larger size will fit), a pair of goggles, 2 hoppers, 4 barrels, spare pot full of spares, air fill rig, couple squeegees, angel charger, 3 jerseys, elbow pads, 3 pairs of gloves, batteries, etc, oh and an Angel and it still isn't full, can't get your battle pack in or your knee pads but then unless you want a Planet bag you can't do that with a JT rucksack either.

the mantis seems to look almost exactly the same as the JT. Is this right??

Yep thats why I bought it
I saw you are asking for a supplier in the UK...it is possible that in the review that PGI ran they may have put a UK address but I doubt it. I bought mine from Mantis at the World Cup. I'm sure they would ship it to you email them from the site the phone number they have will work as long as you put 001 in front of the number on the site...the m a n t i s x bit is the letters etc that you will see on a phone pad just spell to dial 6268479 give it a go
even with shipping it is gonna be so much cheaper than £120.

Make sure that if they do ship it to you that they state that it is either a gift or samples, they won't give a rats a*** what they put on the package but UK customs will.

Good Luck

BTW E-Mail me if you want a pic of the bag with the insides shown
