I have a Redz Flex-Tech 3+2 pack. Am I overly paranoid about putting pods into the extra 2 loops? I keep thinking they are going to pop open. I have FatBoy pods. I find myself burning through 3 pods on those longer games and I don't really want to buy a new pack unless I have to. Oh yeah, I play woodsball if it makes a difference.

Put the tops facing upward and they should be fine. I put mine like that and i barely have a problem, except when I take a hard dive.

Aren't they hard to take out when they are facing up?

unless you cant physically reach up above your pods and pull them out, they arent any harder to get out than pulling them downward

I'm flexible, I'll give it a try. It just looks awkward in my head. Thanks.

You could always pick up a couple of Dye Locklids.

Lock lids are great. Between those and facing them up, you shouldn't have a problem.

Never tried them myself but I've heard good things about Proto Alpha Pods. And, they're about $2 cheaper than Dye Lock Lids.

They will be fine. I use fatboys and have never had a problem with them opening when I used to use my extra loops. You will break paint in the pods before the lids come off so if you aren't breaking paint on a regular basis than you don't have to worry about your fatboys opening.

Now I gotta go get my harness and pods out and pop the lids open a few thousand times to hear that sweet sound. Thanks.
