| I know they have one at opsgear, but I don't really like the look of them. |

Specialops has a vest builder. Tippmann Vests are just Special Ops vests that are re-branded. Personally, I use a PCS vest. Its a matter of opinion, IMO. Hell, most people use packs.. -------------

Rap4 has nice vests. That is where mine is from and I acrually like it more than my Spec Ops vest I had. It stays in place better and is more comfortable. Plus they have alot of different setups. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

pcs makes some good vests, and there cheaper too, most of the time i use pod packs, but when a scenario game comes along ill use the vest. -------------

| i dont think i would waste money on a vest, It makes paintball more exhilarating when it hurts more |

This was funny, but only because of the poster's misunderstanding of the subject. (Hint: The discussion relates to tactical vests, which are used for carrying paint/equipment; not protective vests.) -------------

I think an important question is do you want the vest for looks or because you think it will help your game...?
Also what are you planning on putting in it... -------------

| I want the vest to carry gear, paint ,etc... I'm use to one from when I was a soldier. I'd like one that carries at least 4 pods, c02 tank,a radio, and a camel pack wouldn't hurt. And no urban camo. |

What is the price range that your looking at?
What size pods are you going to carry and how many? How big an air source do you have? Getting a vest is kinda like buying a car. You first have to know what do you wanna hawl arround and how much paint does your air source can carry. It's pretty useless to buy a vest that holds 20 pods when your running a 9oz CO2 tank. Your should never carry any more paint than your airsource can handle. -------------

| I have an A5 with e-grip, 20 oz pure energy c02 tank, I'd like to carry 140 round pods. I don't really have a limit on price but i don't want to pay more than I have to. Like I posted at the begining I was looking at the broadsword but at $159 Cdn plus about $21 in tax plus shipping it'll total about $200. If I can get something similar foer less I'll do it, I don't want to throw money away. |

I've been playing with this vest for about 3 months, one of the best investments I've made for paintballing

I go on the cheap and carry (4) 100 rnd pods on a belt around my waist. So, I basically start every game with at least 600 rounds. I have yet in the last three years to go through all 600 rounds in one game. -------------

| I have a UTG that holds 6 100 round pods, got it on Amazon for $30 semi costumizable, fits great and is MOLLE/ALICE compatible. My wife has a RAP4 that's set up for 6 140 pods. She likes it but it's not fully MOLLE/ALICE compatible, a little loose fitting on her. |
