=== Redz Comfort Gear ===

Hastings founded [[Redz Comfort Gear]] during the 1990s.

The company became associated with the '''Redz Comfort Pack''', an ammunition harness combining a supportive waist belt with equipment for carrying paintball pods.

According to Hastings' biographical account, he developed the original concept while working as a private investigator following his military service.[1]

The design was intended to improve the comfort and stability of carrying multiple paintball pods during tournament competition.

Redz expanded through tournament sponsorships, promotional activities and equipment sales.

At the 1999 Skyball tournament in Toronto, Hastings offered sponsorship arrangements to successful teams in exchange for promotional photographs and advertising exposure.

Contemporary reporting by ''[[WARPIG]]'' credited these activities with helping establish Redz as a recognised equipment brand.[3]

Hastings subsequently sold his interest in Redz.
