that they have spared no expense, and have what the paintball community wants. The pattern on these pants is City Camo. It is a bunch of different images combined into one to where it makes it look camouflaged. These would work great for tournament players, but could also work great for playing in the woods in scenario events. Looking down the left side of the pants there are several breathable compartments so you don’t end up dying of sweat, and overheating. After sticking my hand inside I found that the whole inside was netted to keep the pants for m sticking to you when you get sweaty and dirty, like we know everyone does on the field. The pants are made with high quality zippers that are used to close out four out of the six pockets, making sure once you zip them shut they stay shut. This I know is a huge advantage on the field. Sometimes the Velcro pockets just don’t cut it and you end up losing stuff you take with you. The other two pockets have strong Velcro keeping them closed, making sure if you’re playing scenario or tournament after sliding into that bunker, the Velcro won’t give leaving the contents of that pocket exposed. They have thought of everything needed on these pants once the paint starts flying, including a barrel swab pocket keeping it close to you for those times in need. However the next test is durability, looks and sleek designs don’t mean anything if it’s not durable. When putting the pants on, I noticed they were a loose 068 paintball.media magazine fit. This will help with that hopeful bounce when getting shot at. On the side, there is Velcro adjustable straps to help you find the fit around the waist that is best for you. The pants were not bulky, but just protective enough to where I felt comfortable using them for paintball. As I was jumping and sliding the padding in the knees provide a good amount of cushion for my fall. I slid across the ground, and the padding in the knees helped protect the impact. The padding is no kneepad by far, but they do help quite a bit when you hit the ground. As I slid I noticed the smooth slick material used by TopRank to create these pants helped me go that extra inch. When sliding, the pants held up great. With no rips, no tears, not even a sound besides me connecting with the ground. I worked up quite a sweat, but these pants did a great with breathability. When you are playing paintball, another key factor in the gear you are wearing is agility. Will these pants affect my range of motion? The answer is no. Sometimes when you have paintball pants to protect you, you have to sacrifice in other areas such as agility. These pants made me feel protected, and at the same time did not affect my movement whatsoever. If you are looking for great pants from a great company to switch to for your paintball game, these are the ones. The cool design, as well as the reliability and durability are outstanding. Not to mention the fact that they have a really experienced designer. You will not regret picking up a pair of these pants and bringing them on the field with you. I for one am excited and cannot wait to go play again with these pants.
