Paintball

[Jaan]

Like a lot of you I'm kinda cheap...I'm always looking for a bargain and when it comes to paintball bags, they're hardly ever cheap.

I also like a particular type of duffel bag for my stock class stuff. I don't like bringing along everything plus the kitchen sink...I like having everything in one shoulder bag so I can grab it and go.

So, when I was at Target today I looked at a Reebok 24" duffel bag that's on sale this week for $19. That's just in my price range for paintball bags.

When I saw it up close I was pleasantly surprised. It's a very nice bag with some good compartments. Two things I like especially is an expandable compartment for your dirty stuff, and a net bag for balls...in this case it happens to fit a mask just right. It also has smaller compartments for iPods, cell phones etc.

Threads are useless without pictures, so here goes:

This is the ball/mask pouch and what I think really makes it a good candidate for a cheap paintball bag...you can see it's plenty big and even stores away in its own zippered pocket...




The front pocket has a lot of nice little compartments for cell phone, detent rings, allen wrenches what have you...



The inside is plenty big enough for a Freak kit and a good sized stock class pistol...



And I always liked this feature too, an expandable side pocket for dirty cleats etc...



And there you have it. I think, for the price, it's a great paintball bag for those quick local games.

I have this bag and I bought it for the same reason as you. You might not want to throw the mask on the side pocket bag thing, I smushed my mask once while it was in the side compartment and it gave me the thought that the lenses could possibily be crushed if stored on the side. Otherwise, it's a rather good bag.

I usually find space inside the bag for my mask...but you got me thinking, you'd have to smash the mask pretty hard to crack the lens methinks. Maybe from the sides. The thing is too, if you're going to get the lens crushed it wouldn't matter too much if it was outside or inside the bag, I don't think the fabric of the bag would protect it much either.
