Looking for a new pack? Try out one of these. This new pack out, one out
of a line of products under the name of Redz Comfort Gear®, are the
newest and hottest packs to hit the market since...well...ever!!! Redz
is a new company owned, manufactured, and distributed, by Greg Hastings
a.k.a. Red, a member of National Paintball Supply East’s team, Turbulence,
and a member of my own team, Tri-State Twisters, out of Paintball Adventures,
MD. Red has been on both the local and the NPPL tournament scene now for
a couple of years and knows what "works". 
When he designed the Redz gear, he designed them for the players, and he
spared no expense. Red has accomplished his mission of making a pack that
doesn’t shift, and accomplished it well. His new packs are, with out a
doubt, the most comfortable and secure packs on the market. They DO NOT
shift position, or bunch, even while running or in an awkward position.
His secret to his success is in the design of the packs, which are unlike
any other pack on the market. He uses a velcro strap similar to a lifting
belt to secure the packs in place. This unconventional strap works unbelievably
better then the traditional nylon and buckle strap simply because it is
much thicker, and definitely more comfortable. 
On the front of the pack there are two large velcro straps, these straps
fold over one-another then are fastened further by a smaller strap on each
large one. These small straps do most of the work and tighten to any size.
This design is much better then the buckle strap design in another major
way, there are no hard pieces!!! This “persuades” balls to bounce rather
then break much more often, as a matter of fact, I have yet to have a ball
break on my front straps of my pack. The pack is also nice because of its
small profile. From the front, very little of the actual pack sticks outward
which means a much less “shootable” area. 
Red makes packs of all different sizes and configurations; he makes a couple
different types of packs also, speedy packz, pro packz, big boy packz,
pro sport packz, remote packz, and more. These packz come in many different
configurations, colors, and styles. He will even make you a custom pack
for a little extra. Besides packs, Red makes some other great products
such as: Redz Padz (knee/shin pads), Redz Bagz (barrel bags), Redz gogglehatz
(stylin hat and goggle bag in one!), shortyz (kneepads), and creeperz (elbow
pads). Redz products are truly designed for paintball players by paintball
players; they are extremely professional quality products for any level
player. No matter what product you buy I give my guarantee you will be
very satisfied.
