Title: What Would You Like To See Us Making? Softgood
BenoitOWN - November 9, 2009 01:18 AM (GMT)
Before you post your idea keep in mind that if we make something it not mass produced and it take us time so it can't be a really cheap price bu resonable priced. We make all items by hand and we take parts and method that make the product last.
I just wanna know what player need.
No we wont make capless stockclass items. We already looked into it.
I already have a project for the Goblin and another one that I will get a prototype that include stockclass items.
For shop that want something created it can be done.
Thanks
Benoit

Think sandana with elastic band instead of velcro strap....and 2x the sweatband for additional padding on the front of the head. Digicamo would be nice, just make sure there's no white on it anywhere.

a dual MOLLE bandolier setup and a sling for my DSG and Havoc on the back of it ;) also, a paintball resistant force field.

QD ready sling like the old ICS ones, actually look at most of the old ICS line

A better wrist 10 round tube holding design .

I agree there, something that went over your entire forearm that fit snugly would be nice, like an elastic sleeve with several places to hold 12grams, tubes and maybe even a folding squeegie, and a small stash pocket.

Something like a quiver should be the best option for a wrist holder. Capped or cap less design.
crazyorigin - November 15, 2009 08:09 PM (GMT)
I was just brainstorming a bit while looking thru some gear for 12g's that have went stray, and cam eup with something. I have always pondered about running a remote 3.5oz tank strapped to my arm and hook it to a pistol. Some sort of elastic or strapped band for the forearm that could hold a 3.5oz tank securely would be great too, with some 10rnd tube holders on the rest of it.
Many wrist harnesses have been small, and limited to what you can use on them, something that would allow several items to be carried, and not worry about them flying out while running would be great. You could do it with velcor sections too for interchangeable options.

I've always pondered about sonething that could attach to a T-stock, then tubes/12ies could clip into it somehow.
Thats really more of a hard-good, though.
I like the forearm idea.

you make soft products right? make something to protect my balls! i am sick of stuffing sox or towels or whatever..
the underdog - November 30, 2009 09:40 PM (GMT)
dude, there's about one gazillion pairs of pants that have a man pad. as a matter of fact i can't think of a pair of pball pants released in the last 5 years that don't have some sort of padding.
or there is the timeless tradition of wearing a cup.
also what position are you getting hit in that your balls are exposed, shaft maybe but balls?

Yeah, but I'm not a commercial paintball uniform kind of guy. I'm a BDU kind of guy and sometimes it is tough to protect your Clock Weights. I used a cup for years but I found a folded towel draped across the waistband of your boxers so one side is inside and one outside seems to work pretty well too.
I've been hit in the Mountain Oysters mostly while running for the flag, though The Underdog is right, getting hit in the John Thomas is more common. OFS is probably a flag runner too.
Back to the topic. I'd be happy with sew on patches for my BDUs. I also love these old camo 5-tube pouches with velcro closure. I've found one of those at my back to be the best way to carry spare ammo for our limited ammo stock games. I tried a harness, but we play a pretty rugged woods field and its hard to crawl around with tubes and 12g's on the chest.
the underdog - December 1, 2009 07:33 PM (GMT)
no doubt, but i think they debuted well before the 5 year limit. pbreview has a review from 2003 on those pants, i used to have a pair of "Core" pants that were of the same design, dug the hell out of'em, but alas no padding for the goods! i had to buy a pair of empire slide shorts with man pad, wore it to PPIII and got the shite chaffed out of my frank, never ever wore those again. :)

Someone was handing out patches that are a ban sign over the SP logo... you could sew that on your pants as additional man pad and to get the underlying message across.
Watcher - December 2, 2009 12:32 AM (GMT)
What about non-elastic tube holders?
Like, mini pod packs. Have just a tough material pouch tube-sized with a velcrow flap on the top/bottom.
It may be easier to get tubes into and out of, and may eliminate the need for a dump-bag. Think flashlight/magazine pouch...
I'd probably get something like that if it existed.

I might sew it on the butt of my pants, now that you mentioned it...

That's the one. I meant to add "at AO South this year" but I guess memories took over the brain cells responsible for doing so.

I got mine in the mail, got 3 actually. One went to my friend, the other two I have.
I was thinking of sewing them to my knees so I can kneel on them, but I haven't quite made a decision yet.
Probably just sew them to my vest...

Watcher and I were both looking for stock class belt pouches and I found two examples that are still manufactured here
Doro Sports 8 tube belt pouch and here
Doro tube dump pouch I'd love to see either of these (especially the first one) in camo with an STP logo.

Actually, I was looking for something a bit more individual. Instead of one pouch that holds 5 tubes, for example, I would like to see 5 pouches that collectively hold 5 tubes.
Like mini-maglite pouches with a velcro closure, and make a belt with like 20 of them.
I can find better versions of either of the items you posted at a military surplus store... My dump-bag is great and it has an eleastic "window" you push tubes/12ies through and it contains the items. It is also fairly rigid sided and holds up to 25 tubes.
And where I work carries those shell pouches and they are deep enough for tubes and 12ies.
The Great Equalizer - December 4, 2009 04:33 AM (GMT)
I've got a good military dump bag too. What I like about the pouch here is the flap that covers the tubes and keeps them in place and the separate tube holding pockets. When I've used carrying options that leave the tubes exposed I've caught them on everything from ferns to another persons remote line. When I use my dump bag I can't tell the difference by feel between the full and empty tubes, but when I use my stock class belt pouches (similar to the doro ones) I just have to remember the order in which I removed the tubes. Do you have an example of what you use? I can't see how that mag-lite pouch would work.
I prefer smaller pouches because we used to limit spare ammo in stock games to 50rnds.

I don't use the dump bag for anything except empties. I wear my tubes on an elastic-looped shotgun belt, and when I use them instead of dropping them or trying to get them back in the elastic, they go into the dump bag.
That is what a dump bag is designed for, it is a "dump" bag... otherwise it'd just be a cargo pouch, lol.
It has 2 pieces of elastic that act as a "gate" that I can push tubes or 12ies through, and once they are in I have to unsnap the "gate" from the bag to empty them. It also has a large velcro flap to cover the entire top when it is not in use.
It is just like
this one.
The tube holder idea I have is very simple as well. Picture a pod pack, only make the pod holders tube sized. Now make the pak hold about 20 tubes.
Open flap, pull out tube, load, replace tube, close flap. Simple.
Like pistol mag pouches on a belt, only make them tube sized.
Maybe even make the flaps magnetic for ease of opening and closing...

pack but with flaps?

how about copying the original JT stock class harnesses? All the current ones on the market are crap compared to those.

Not really, instead of a pack like that make it a belt...
It is rather difficult to explain what I mean, maybe I can try to draw it up.
jolt00 - December 7, 2009 05:32 AM (GMT)
now a bunch of maglight pouches would be cool you could but 1 or 2 or 50 on a belt or any strap and put them any where.

That's more along the line of what I was thinking.
But give them flaps so if you wanted to you could run them capless...
