Hi Everyone,

Thanks for taking the time to express the way that you feel about our product. The reason Oliver and I started this project was so that we could reconnect as friends and provide something unique and meaningful to our peers and to the paintball community. The reason the headbands are made in Bali is because Oliver lives there and can be directly involved in the production process that he believes in. It was important to Oliver to make our headbands with all natural materials and dyes, he is able to do that in Bali whereas that would be extremely challenging for us to do in China, Pakistan or even here in the USA. You can read about it here https://hormesispaintball.com/pages/our-process
If we wanted to start a business producing product on the cheap then we would be manufacturing in china or pakistan using the same synthetic materials that most others do, creating large quantities at low prices. This is not our strategy. We make a small amount of unique products and we oversee each step ourselves. Our product is not a cutting edge piece of technology, it's a headband, a fashion accessory that we can use to express ourselves with when we play. It is also meant to be a keepsake that will hopefully embody some good times that you can remember. When I look at the few pieces of "antique" paintball gear I still own, I am able to recall various memories, playing with my dad, starting dynasty, wins, losses and all the rest. Our headbands are more expensive to make than I would have anticipated and I understand our price point is high and it's not for everyone, and that's ok because there aren't enough to go around anyway.

It doesn’t even matter if they are expensive or not. They are literally all sold out lol. Sucks cause I liked one of them. Maybe next run I can get in early.

Keep doing you G. You and Oliver don't have to explain yourselves to anyone - especially strangers on the internet.

Alex,

It is awesome how well you understand the market. Keep selling them for what you want to sell them for $$$$$. Most players have no idea what it takes to even get headbands to the market. Glad to see Oliver is still in contact.

Consider me humbled and a fan now.

Alex keep doing you. I appreciate the product and story behind it. If it gets Ollie back into playing with you guys all the better. Even if it’s just when he feels like it

.

Last weekend was my single most fun weekend of playing paintball in close to 20 years of playing. There was a huge amount of talent out there with all your pro’s and you made even us modest players feel great!

Next time we’ll try and not look directly into the sun for our picture!
