NEW product Empire Team Edition EVS Goggle SPOTLIGHT The Empire EVS goggle system created a stir on its release and continues to be a favorite among serious paintball players from the local level to the top professional ranks thanks to its futuristic look, comfort and performance! Empire released several “team” editions of the EVS at the 2018 NXL World Cup that offer new colorways featuring several of their top teams, including a New York Xtreme model, a green Scottsdale Elevation model, a PC Katana edition and of course, an Orange AC: Dallas model. Comfortable, attractive and proven on the pro level on the faces of some of paintball’s top players and teams, the EVS continues to impress and is now available in more colors and styles than ever before at www.EmpirePaintball.com. Valken Phantom Pants While most paintball players spend most of their time thinking about the next big paintball marker that might be hitting the streets, or maybe even a new bottle, barrel or goggle system, many overlook just how important to their game a good set of paintball pants might be. Playing an aggressive, athletic game like modern paintball, with all its running, sliding, diving, crawling, kneeling, twisting and turning, all in often ridiculous weather conditions like extreme heat, heavy rains, cold, mud or in the woods is tough. It’s made tougher when the pants can’t handle the strain. Valken’s Phantom pants can, and help the player look good doing it. Well-made with a modern, athletic cut and unique features to help the player remain cool and comfortable, Valken’s Phantom pants are worth a look for any serious paintball player at www.Valken.com. 010 paintball.media magazine
