Indian Springs Rabbbit Pack
The "Rabbit Pack" butt pack, manufactured by Indian Springs Paintball of
Norton, Ohio is a new ball hauler designed to hold six 140 round Indian Springs
Supertube "XXL's". The Rabbit Pack is available in RealTree, woodland, Tiger
Stripe, black, olive drab green, and RealTree "Advantage" patterns. The suggested
retail price of the Indian Springs Rabbit Pack is $44.95.
Design/Construction:
Although the Rabbit Pack butt pack is designed for the small, fast player-types,
it works equally for bigger players too. The Rabbit Pack is only 12-inches
wide and 16-inches long, and is placed completely behind even the smallest
players.
The Rabbit Pack is configured with four pouches placed vertically and two
pouches placed in the horizontal position above (one opens from the left
side, one from the right). Each of the pouches are double stitched to the
soft canvas-type backing and have soft Velcro closures. There are two "hook
and loop" Velcro belts incorporated into the Rabbit Pack. The belts strap
around your chest and waist and holds the pack securely to your body.

Performance/Versatility:
The Indian Springs Rabbit Pack is designed for the Supertube XXL's which
in reality hold about 127 rounds each. This pack gives you the ability to
hold about 760 rounds plus whatever you're carrying in your hopper. It is
by far the smallest harness/butt pack we have seen compared to amount of
paint you can carry.
We field tested the Rabbit Pack system for three weeks and found it to be
very comfortable. The belt straps hold the harness tightly in place while
running, crawling, etc. The four vertical pouches open from the bottom which
makes removing the tubes easier than most. The two upper pouches are a bit
more difficult to get to, but not impossible. We found it is best to remove
the top two tubes when you get to your initial position on the field. That's
usually where you shoot the most paint from anyway.
We also found that it is easiest to put the Rabbit Pack on before you put
the loaders in. This way you don't have to deal with the weight of the full
loaders when you're trying to secure the belts.

Price:
At a suggested retail price of $44.95, the Rabbit Pack is priced on the lower
end of the harness spectrum. For an additional $12.00, you can purchase the
Rabbit Pack harness with six 140-round loaders.

Conclusion:
The Rabbit Pack butt pack is one of the most well thought-out packs available.
Although it is designed for small, fast players, the Rabbit Pack harness
worked well on everyone that tried it. The Rabbit Pack harness is well made,
inexpensive, and gives you the ability to carry more paint in less space
than we've seen before.
