15 Empire Flex F ace No two faces are the same. Unless you’ve been cloned, at which point one of you should just grow a beard. Anyways, since people can’t really see one-another’s faces on the paintball field, paintball goggles have become a great place to express individuality while protecting one’s self from incoming projectiles. Empire is helping players do precisely that with their new Flex Face upgrade that allows Empire E-Flex owners to alter the color of their mask with a white, flexible lower skirt and various colors. Look good, express a little individuality or create a custom mask to match a team uniform with the new Empire Flex Face. www.EmpirePaintball.com Virtue PF Pods Pods are an odd place to look for paintball innovation, but sometimes the simplest things offer the most room for improvement. Paintball has been using the 140 round plastic flip-top pod for years, for very little reason other than that it’s simply what’s been around. Virtue has chosen this simple thing as a place for innovation and have released PF pods that are available in either 135 round or 165 round options, allowing players to have a lower profile while carrying the same amount of paintballs, or carry more paintballs in the same pack, all with an improved flip lid that makes loading more instinctive. We’d hate to lose these on the field between points, but we’d certainly love to carry more paintballs so that’s a chance we’re prepared to take! www.VirtuePaintball.com WWW.PAINTBALLX3.COM
