Why cant you just use a normal pod holder like the rest of us?

Put your radio in your pocket, and there are these nice things called cargo pockets in your cammies that would work well as "pouches"...

It makes alot more sense than to spend $200 on a vest.

I've been looking into vests as well. It would be so much more comfy than having pods on your waist and you just grab the pods off your chest as well which is alot easier.. and putting them back in their pod-holder would be alot easier too.. the only good ones I have found are $100 and up... :(

you dont need to spend $200 on a vest

but paintball vests are overpriced.

try an army surplus store you can buy a great quality vest for cheap though you might have to modify pouches a bit for pods.

i bought my cadpat vest for $70 cdn and its better quality than any other paintball vest

 

vests are allright but a paintball hit is always a break

Anyway, the Rap-4 vest seems great... $60 comes only with 4-pod holder and some other stuff, so it's plain, simple, light, yet you can add on the other stuff later on if you want to such as the water holder, and you can convert the entire vest into an Airsoft vest...seems very nice, I might actually get the RAP 4 Black Paintball VEST
