I think thats to do with the idea that dye had when they were designing the pack. To my knowledge, they designed them so you could put pods in when it wasn't attached to you (off the field) so that the ejection system and profile reduction system could be made at a greated elasticity.They are longer as they have a larger capacity, and are possibly slightly wider too (someone else can confirm this?). I really like locklids and think their opening method is great, but they are an absolute bitch to get in the Dye C5 Pack.
Compared to other packs the C5 doesn't make getting pods in easy anyway, but I do struggle with the locklids whereas normal 140 pods aren't too bad.

how do you pull the "lock" - you gotta push it down - which when your pulling the pot out is quite difficult to do as it is the opposite directionDuring the Big Game i went too get a pod out of my pack ( locklid ) and i accidently pulled the Lock on pod as i was pulling it out, and 160 balls fell onto the back of my ankles. Wasnt too happy to be honest as i only had one pod left after that.
Apart from that ive had no problems.
