NXe Gear..

[MikeE]

How much interest is there in NXe stuff in NZ...

They are quite keen to get a foothold in South East Asia, had a phone call from overseas regarding it.

Especially stuff like the Elevation range of harnesses + gear bags etc. There is talk of a special sponsorship programme where the money will back into sponsoring NZ teams.

My questions is - is it worth it or are kiwis happy with what they currently have?

To get a good line of soft products like wht nxe has would be nice...especially if most people ran the same gear and with a sponsership it would be a little bit less because of no shipping costs pumping money back into NZ paintball.

More people could afford quality products for the same price that they pay for junk.

Personally I would welcome this as there is no real supplier of world renowned (in the paintball world) for quality soft products in NZ that i'm aware of (and i'm not aware of much but still). I know that suppliers supply like JT and other well known brands but one brand isint really prevalent in the NZ scene except for neotech?

If it was made public to everyone that NXE gear was afforable to all at the same price and avaliability i'm sure we wouldn't be hitting suppliers ver hard as they don't market their stuff that much. People just know that they can get stuff rom certain people but if a company like NXE came into Nz and gave competitive prices I couldn't see how it could damage the paintball community in any serious manner (ie shutting down suppliers) as NXE mostly do bottle covers, packs, gearbags that i'm aware of.

Tell them that if they want they can send you stuff and you can make public pricing and avalibilty of items and I would be more than happy to help in the distribution of products if NXE would like to do a trial period and bring in some amount of gear to be sold in NZ and to see how the NZ scene like the idea. I like doing this kind of work. It can only increase the standard of gear used in NZ.

I would certainly buy at least a gearbag and in future more soft goods from them as I think they make high quality products.

So unless anyone has any major concers tell them yes :)
