Paintball Clothing For Men And Women

By Jerry Kenney


A sport that is fast becoming popular worldwide is paintball. For those who don't know what this game is all about I will give you a brief explanation. You basically load a paintball gun that is air compressed and shoot these balls filled with paint at your opponents. Paintball clothing is a must for this sport.

Playing paintball can inflict some really nasty bruises so it is important that you wear the correct paintball clothing which will aid in protecting your body. As well as just protection it also makes the games a lot of fun when dressed appropriately. There is no need to wear the latest fashion or end up spending a fortune on the required clothing.

There are some people who just wear shorts and t-shits, which is not a good idea. Then of course you also get those that are in with the state of the art fashions and wear brand name clothing to make them look cool and slick. But they are certainly not any better at playing paintball than those who just wear necessary protective clothing. Expensive clothing doesn't make you any better.

The whole objective behind paintball is that the player just wears the right clothing. The major factor is that you are covered from head to toe. The paint from the paintballs has been known to discolor light colored clothing so when making a choice go for dark color clothing.

Never choose clothes that are tight on your body as this restricts your body movements, go for the loose and more comfortable clothes, as well as clothes that will be kept for this purpose only. Your best clothes will get destroyed and really very dirty from paintballing.

The most sensible of all clothing types is of course camouflage. It helps you blend in with surrounding bushes as well as the immediate surroundings of the area you are playing in. By wearing a long sleeved T shirt you can help to avoid bruises from the paintballs. What is really great is a baseball cap worn backwards on your head which can protect your neck.

A face mask is you're first and foremost priority, and should be of a really good make and quality. Being shot in the face with a paintball can cause some serious damage. Good strong shoes that cover your entire foot are also essential. Wearing sandals is a definite no.

Full length paintball clothing is advised as well as gloves which help to provide protection against the paintballs. It also allows the player to roll, crouch and slide more easily as well as provide added safety from any major injuries. Go online and check out what's available and be properly prepared for your next game of paintball.
