  • Patent number: 6962278
    Abstract: The harness of the present invention comprises a unitary waist-encircling supportive belt of largely elastic fabric adapted to receive and securely hold various numbers of paintball pods. A plurality of fabric layers are positioned to form a honeycomb of hollow pockets which, together with pod retainer clips, assume the configuration of, and securely hold, inserted paintball pods. The resulting configuration will accommodate a plurality of paintball pods of varying circumference, and affords the advantage that, as the wearer exhausts and discards pods in the course of a paintball game, the pockets collapse, the belt contracts, and the wearer becomes less encumbered.
