New Paintball Gear: S2 Function
June 21, 2011 in Gear
S2 Function- Form follows Function….Eric Prum of S2 Customs USA recently sat down with ProPaintball to discuss the new S2 Function paintball gear. Style Supply has made a name for itself by crafting high quality paintball gear that infuses functional design with a creative style. Many of the top teams on the pro fields such as Russian Legion, Chicago Aftershock, Omaha Vicious are utilizing S2 paintball gear. As a retired member of pro team LA Infamous, Prum understands what players require from their gear. All of the S2 Function products showcased below have been designed around years of playing with gear that works and gear that needs improvement. S2 Function has made it their mission to release products that perform.
ProPaintball: Eric, tell us what we should be looking for in the new paintball gear from S2 Function.
Eric @ S2 Function: We have a ton of new gear coming out at the PSP 2011 Chicago Open. I will start from the top and break it down piece by piece.
- Full Wrist to elbow padding, Dual Diamond stitching
- Silicone piping on both shoulders
- Custom Screen printing available for teams
- Heavy Duty Cotton jersey, LTD color runs throughout the season
S2 Wrister: S2′s wrist wrap and half glove, a true blend of form and function. True fit, durable construction, blends neoprene and kevlar for the ultimate in flexibility and protection. Your palms will thank you.
- Kevlar reinforced palms, gel padding, neoprene construction
- 3D piping
- Fully Adjustable wrist straps, won’t slip or shift during play.
S2 Weekend Warrior Ruck Sack: This is the ultimate in function and value. We have developed a paintball minded ruck sack for the every weekend player. This is large capacity bag for the weekly paintball lifer, meant for the weekly grind of paintball.

- Reinforced Nylon Stitching

S2 Compression Sock: Runway This is a performance minded athletic compression sock, specifically designed by and for paintball players. Available in 2 Styles Features include:
- Coolmax fibers to wick away moisture
- Cushioned ankle support
- Compression sock increases circulation, boosting oxygen flow, on field performance. The increased blood flow in turn reduces muscle soreness after a long day on the field.
- Reinforced collar (so that it doesn’t shift with sliding, pad movement)
S2 Dome Sanctuaries: Beanies that combine form, function and style. Our beanies integrate the latest in athletic and outdoor fabrics with flex fit technology.

- Therma: This is a thinsulate beanie, made of a 3m synthetic fiber, with thermal insulation, wicks away moisture, for all weather performance. Keeps the stains away and protects your dome. Retains thermal quality even in damp conditions.
ProPaintball: Thanks for sharing Eric! The new S2 Function line looks great and we can’t wait to check out the new gear in person.
Eric@S2 Function: Thank you ProPaintball! We have put a ton of time and energy into our products and it definitely shows.

And now come the prices….

Neal,
I’m curious on pricing as well. I like the idea of the non-structured gear bag and a mid-range jersey.
Maybe Eric from S2 can chime in?

Wonder if Style Supply checked with their attorney:

There have been tons of Jerseys that have Silicone piping on the shoulders. I.E. tons of prior art. If that patent app gets approved you can sell to your hearts content till then and if you want license tech or fight the patent in court. Also DYE would have to go after them in the first place I.E. defend the patent. I would think they would send a letter because of the cost to defend it against such a small company.
BLA BLA BLA

What happened to the “STYLE” in style supply?
Justin said on June 21, 2011
@Ugly–
Artistic renderings leave something to be desired..I would imagine that the gear will look much better in person.
Out of curiosity, which product did you not like?
Eric said on June 21, 2011
Hey guys!
As far as pricing goes, we are looking to keep the Jersey in a very budget minded price range… stock ones will retail around 45$, pro 55$, and custom screen practice jerseys will be a little more
These are just illustrator renditions
, there will be a lot more designs at the event, and we wil have high res photos for you… I’m sure you will be happy with them.
The Gear Ruck Sack will be especially budget minded… offering customers a functional, paintball oriented piece of luggage that has a large capacity and will hold up to the wear and tear of the paintball lifestyle… it will also be in the 50$ or under range….
full pricing will be available shortly after the event. The Beanies will probably land somewhere around 25$/unit.
Thanks guys! Sorry it took me a bit to respond… didn’t see the comments until this evening

seriously how much money can you make selling paintball socks…
$$ in socks said on June 22, 2011
empire socks were and still are the best socks i’ve ever worn to play in or just for regular use. i’m sure empire would’ve made a ton of money selling them if it weren’t for the pros that kept taking them for free. you know who you are…
as far as S2′s socks, they look legit. can’t wait to try some
Eric said on June 22, 2011
@ur mata
The socks are a really cool product that we can sell into multiple markets, mma, crossfit etc
… The compression socks are one small part of a line focused on new functional paintball gear. Stuff that hasn’t been tried yet

Eric said on June 27, 2011

Is there an s2 website update coming? Last time I was on it, I couldn’t understand a thing. I want to order, but the website isn’t exactly US-friendly.
