Paintball is a fast game.  Depending on the situation, a player can go through tons of ammunition very quickly – especially if they’re using an electronic paintball gun.  This is why it’s very smart to carry as much ammo with you as possible.  The best way to carry paintballs in a game is in plastic pods, held in pockets located on a pod harness.  A pod harness is a belt with pockets attached that hold paintball pods filled with ammo.  Whether you play woodsball or competition speedball, you have to carry extra paintballs; making pod harnesses essential paintball gear.

Usually pod harnesses are made to fit the player’s waist or upper thigh and carry from 2 to 8 paintball pods.  Most pod harnesses also come in various colors and camouflage patterns to match your various scenario outfit.  Pod harnesses also come in a standard size, carrying either 100 or 140 round pods.  Depending on the brand, some harnesses carry pods vertically, while others horizontally.  Most paintballers will agree the horizontal pod harnesses are easier to use, however, most pod harnesses on the market are vertical; this is a personal preference depending on the player.  Most pod harnesses are made of fairly thick (almost canvas like) material that’s very durable and should last as long as you play paintball.  Pods are held in harnesses in pockets secured by velcro straps; this is a very effective system and the pods never come out even during the roughest play.

Many paintball pod harnesses also have an extra feature – a vertical pouch to hold your air tank!  This is to be used in conjunction with a remote line and is very useful for a more realistic scenario paintball game.  Finally, pod harnesses also add protection to its users.  A tactical pod harness packed with an air tank and full pods covers you with a hard shell, shielding your waist or thigh from paintballs completely.
