    What the actual...?

    Okay, I know there are some folks in this sport who will buy just about anything, but this is one of the silliest things I've ever seen...

    NEW HK Army Exo Headband Case - Black | eBay

    I do exercise caution and try to protect things like my marker's finish, barrels, tanks, lenses, etc., but who is afraid of breaking/damaging a cloth headband? If people really buy those cases, maybe soon we'll see a protective storage solution for keeping each paintball isolated from the next so none of them bang against each other (think: egg carton).

    I'm still chuckling aloud at that thing! 🤣

      The case isn't cheap. So, do you need a case to protect the case that protects the headband?

          I was expecting this comment. Although, I was prepared to step up in the unlikely case it hadn't been stated yet.

            yeah, but at least those prevent someone from being hurt in the event of an accidental discharge, so they have some value-add. i wouldn't own one, but i don't find them as laughable as a headband case which i find about as useful as a protective underwear case.

              Trying to think of something else you could put in there instead. Nintendo Switch without the charging adapter? Sample pieces of ornamental crown molding?

                With the price of crown molding I can dig it. I purchased some lately and was like this didn’t rig up right. But the price I thought it was, was actually the by the foot price.

                just... use the damn marker? No point in getting a fancy anno if you're just going to cover it with a condom, and it won't even help with resale value. I always chuckle a little when I see how far $1200+ markers depreciate after only a couple years

                yes but SOME of them have increased in value! you never know if the one you own is going to be in very select few of them.

              I'm at a total loss. Are you talking about a form-fitting gel case that covers the whole marker?

                Man, if I had access to the production line for the headband case the tag wouldn't say "made in Taiwan" it would say "made with gullibility"

                If you are this worried about your headbands, maybe you shouldn't be bringing them to the field. How do you expect to wash them?

                  Not intending to cast stones here, but I'll go a step further and suggest that if you're buying protective cases for your paintball headbands then maybe it's time to ask for help reworking your life's priorities?
