kit bag weight when flying

[scott_peters]

Just don't wear your pack into the airport or you might be repeatedly shot in the face. It's not worth saving the weight, even if you CAN pack all your clothes into your pods!

HAhAhAHA thats wrong but very funny

We got 15 to Norway, and the eclipse bag weighed half of that! So we took different bags and that saved a ton of weight.

But yea, shove anything heavy and/or breakable in your handluggage.

take what you need.

1x marker
1x air bottle
1x loader
1x pants
1x jersey
1x pack
1x goggles
then clothes for the weekend

theres enough trade stands there to fix any of you $h1t if it breaks

never should it be over 20kg if you take what you need only

Something to look into would be sports equipment allowances, I haven't personally researched this for paintball, so I don't know if it 'counts'. . . but

Many North American airlines allow sports equipment to travel as free baggage as long as it meets requirements and is 'pre registered'.

I know several people who have traveled with large amounts of scuba gear under this allowance . . .

if your bag is a bit heavy try waering as much kit as you can on the plane, mask pack and pods and all

best bet is to put all your clothing in your hand luggage - clothing being casual clothing. Then your sorted! saved us money on the way back from Paris.

also remember some airlines dont like compressed air cannisters, see above post

 

[onasilverbike]

you mean drugs?

yeah, those too, but don't bring them back either

i think you can get away with your air canisters on most airlines by just taking the reg off the bottle.
