Winchester Balistic Silvertip 6.5 Creedmoor
In paintball, your harness is your best friend. As some players spend on a new marker and drop a measly 5 bucks on a Walmart harness, they will be disappointed quickly because of the limited amount of paintballs they can carry. With a limited ammo supply, you either have to be ultra-conservative with your shooting or learn to be happy with a very short game. Spending is a small fee for a good paintball harness that will greatly expand your ability to carry significant amounts of ammunition. The more ammo you can carry the longer you can play. If you can carry more ammo than your opponents, you will definitely have the edge by being able to last longer than them or take fewer re-load breaks.
Paintball pod harnesses are such an essential part of your most basic equipment, they are often included in many of the best paintball gun packages. You will find good harnesses for both tournament play and scenario woodsball with most performing the same functions but different appearances. Pod harnesses for tournament paintball are great to match professional-looking jerseys and competition uniforms. For woodsball military simulation style play, paintball harnesses are awesome looking in camouflage to match your tactical outfit. Regardless of the type you choose, it's important your pod harness has a proper fit. If the ammunition harness you wear is too loose, it will bounce around when you're running and throw you off balance. The best paintball pod harnesses wrap around the body with comfortable padded material and secure tightly with a large velcro strap. For players with larger size abdomens, an extra expansion strap is an easy addition.
When shopping for the best paintball harness, make your decision based on how much ammo you want to carry. Harnesses come in all sizes with the smallest carrying only 2 pods and the largest carrying up to 10 or 12. While it's advantageous to pack as much ammunition in the game as possible, the position you play on the field may call for something different. Frontmen should keep their gear as light as possible for the fastest movement so they often will use the smaller harnesses, however, even larger capacity harnesses work fine when held securely around the waist. Backfield players or heavy gunner positions can get away with carrying the most amount of gear as they often move less than the forward positions. Sometimes players who use the largest paintball harnesses become the 'supplies guy' on the team, carrying and supplying ammo for everyone else. This can be a fun position to play however dangerous as the extra weight can slow you down, making you an easier target for the opposition.
