Elite Paintball Guns

The Recreational Gear Bag is another good NXe product and unlike the Rover Rolling bag it’s really worth getting. It’s not as big as the Rover but still holds plenty of stuff. It has hard bottom so your gear won’t hit the ground every time you put the bag down. It has a divider in the main compartment to keep things separately. The wheels are very nicely made and pretty robust as is the entire construction. You’ll like the bag I’m sure. Read some more about it:

“We are pleased to announnce the introduction of the GB 50 rolling gear bag. The GB 50 was specically designed to fill the niche for an entry-level, rolling gear bag at an affordable price. The GB 50 includes six internal pod holders and an adjustable divider which allow the user to create an internal compartment for gear storage. The GB 50 is ideal for the new player, basic rec player, and those players who just can’t spend a $100 or more for a gear bag.

* Additional features include Internal loops for pod storage
* Velcro divider for compartmentalization of gear and paintball guns
* Wide-mouth opening provides easy access, and simplifies opening and closing the bag
* Zippered outer storage pockets
* Rugged compression roller bearing wheels and ultra-secure pull strap to ensure ease of use”

As it says in the description it’s great for beginners or basic rec players that don’t carry too many stuff with them. It would have been nice to have at least one more divider in the main compartment, but you’ll have to deal with the single one provided. Another thing I don’t like is that again there’s no specific spot for the marker and it will have to be put with the rest of the gear. Anyway it’s a good gear bag…especially for the price it’s coming - $45. It’s rear to find a quality gear bag for less than $50. You should certainly check it out.

The NXe Rover Rolling bag is pretty big one. It’s actually very similar to a large gym bag, only it has two large pockets on each side and two smaller ones upfront. It also has a separator inside the main pocket. It sure can hold a lot of stuff and I don’t think anything will be left behind. It is nicely made and very robust. You can trust it 100% when you travel and carry your gear. It’s equipped with wheels and some very nice pull system that I think you’ll like. Again very strongly made so you don’t have to worry about it falling apart, as in many other cases. Here are some details about it and we’ll move on:

“The Rover is a flawless blend of function, innovation, and style. An expanded wheel base and all new Omni-level pull system eliminate any wobbling of the bag. The Rover boasts nearly 6,000 cubic inches of storage and is almost 40% lighter than all other gear bags in its class. Whether it is a day, a weekend, or a whole week at the field, the Rover is the perfect bag to fit your needs.”

It’s a nice bag, as to be expected from NXe, but there are some things worth mentioning as downsides. For starters the Rover Rolling Gear Bag is really nothing more than the large gym bag I mentioned in the beginning. It has no specific spot for your gun (let alone more than one), the pockets, while big, are just pockets – no separators, smaller pockets or anything in them. The bag just lacks organization. You’ll feel just as good with a simple duffle bag. For the price it is given I don’t think it’s worth getting, but you’ll decide for yourself. The price tag is about $110 depending on the place you’re getting it. If you’re looking for an advice – look for something better. There’s plenty of choice on the market.

The Empire XLT is really the hugest gear bag I have seen so far. It can probably fit twice your gear and there might be some more room left in it. Seriously – it huge. It has big main compartment and plenty of pockets with some additional pockets in them. It’s really nicely made – great looking and which is more important, very sturdy. You’ll notice later in the specifications that with the bag itself you also get a removable gun case, tool pouch and a carry-on gym bag. Whatever you can think of this bag has it. What I like best is the goggle pocket – it’s very nice and very well protected (unlike some other bags I’ve seen lately). The bag also has telescopic handle (and trust me this comes in very, very handy when you load the thing), shoulder strap, and some off-road wheels (again a great touch – those are not the fragile wheels some other bags have, that you’re expecting to break any moment). Enough of that, look at the provided info now:

“XLT™ GEARBAG
The largest gear bag Empire carries; this bag will hold it all. You will be able to carry everything you would ever need at the field with you. The MTS™ has been added to this huge gear bag as well, so you can strap in 2 markers.

* Vented wet pocket
* Removable gun case (accommodates 2 markers)
* Felt-lined goggle pocket
* Side pockets filled with zippered mesh pockets
* MTP Market Tether System
* Removable tool pouch
* Inside the side pocket in a lightweight carry-on sized gym bag (To transfer to if your bag is overweight for the airlines).
* Internal organizer pocket
* Telescopic hide-away pull handle
* Rugged off-road wheels
* Removable shoulder strap”

There are a few tiny details I can put as a downside, but don’t get me wrong – the bag is great…those are just tiny, tiny things that can make it better. First off the main compartment has no dividers. Just one divider would make things so much better, but there aren’t any so you just have to deal with it. Also the side pockets are somewhat tight…but you can still keep plenty of things there. And last the Marker Tether System is kind of pointless in my opinion. It’s no more than a couple of Velcro straps that don’t even hold your marker that secure. Other than that the bag is awesome and if you can afford it I’m sure it will meet your expectations and even exceed them. There’s also plenty of color and theme choices (yet another thing you don’t get from the other companies). It’s kinda pricy though – you can find it for about $160, but again do get it if you can spend that kind of money…you’ll love it.
