Pods spilling paint. Help needed

[Joao Duro]

Hi guys
I'm using a 5 pod Extreme Rage harness (with 3 pods in it).
I play front, and hav 2 break really fast. When i slide in2 my bunker, i almost always open a pod or 2.

The pod's hinges are facing inwards (2 prevent opening while sliding). I've also tried 2 slant the harness sideways but it aint working right.

Any tips you guys???
Thnx

Waht pods are you using, how high up is the pack on your back?

Can't really remenber about the pods, but they're 140 pods.

Last tourney my mates went like "hey Johnny u moron, why u wearin that harn up in ur chest?!"''
Yeah. I wear it high to make it easier to pull the pods out.

2 options, wear harness slightly to 1 side and or slide on the other side so u kinda go in sideways rather than on your arse
Looks a lil more graceful too

sound advice...

listen to famine,

sound advice me thinks or alternatively run faster so you dont have slide in to bunker...

realistically, i think some new pax are designed to sit higher up your body/back to prevent this...look around online see what types are around also new horizontal aligned pax may help...

u cud always place a small velcro tab on the pots...
superglue?

check it out...

alrite,

m8 tried to look for you...
there are some battle pax that have the pod within a pocket with a huge easy/quick to open velcro strap on it...
back in the indian springs made some seasoned holders these will help you cos your paint simply cant spill when so secured...

hope it helps...

Change the type of pods you use. I had the same problem myself, but instead of the pods popping open from sliding, it happened when I'd grab them to pull them out. Most of the time when it happened the lid would come open, but sometimes the lid and collar would slide off! I simply switched to Fat Boy pods for the loop holders for my Extreme Rage 9 pack and for all the pods in my Indian Creek 5 and the problems stopped right there. The lids fit on tight and they're fastened to the pod rather than a collar around the top. Simpler is better!

A bit of electrical tape around the collar holds that on and is a good way of knowing that they are yours... (saying that, if anyone knows anyone on the Kestrels Team roster can you say that i want mine back)

Plus - some pods are just sh1te... I used to have some Indian Springs pods that were useless. You could open them by blowing on the lid!

If you are skint you could try putting a bit of tape across the lip of the pot to make the closure tighter. But i'd buy new ones if i were you (and i'm skint)
