One quick thing, I would suggest cargo pants over jeans, they are light they don’t get caught on anything and they don’t restrict movement, jeans are a little heavy and some are baggy enough to get caught on your gun and other gear
You can play paintball in your “birthday” suit. You just have to know the field owner very well, and work out a deal. Masks are still required. 😂 I’m just joking. 😂
2022 update: BEST BOUNCE CAP...GET 2ND SKULL ORIGINAL VERSION NOT THE PRO VERSION. 2nd skull has a special light waight small size foam that absorbes impacts. Its very very good. Got shot 5 feet away and had no lump or sourness. I felt the shot but it wasn't bad at all. Its also super thin and confortable. Dont get the pro version though. The pro version is advertised to be more breathable but it has paintball sized holes in the actual foam and also large spaces in 4 lines on the sides that leave it way to exposed for paintball. The original slaps!! 2nd skull is my new fave cap, it also bounces like crazy
I almost always advise against it unless it's cold for two reasons: More clothes really doesn't soften the impact that much and more clothes tends to weigh you down restricting mobility.
Personally, I got into paintball and just wanted to play for cheap, I got some heat elbow pads, but pants wise I always go back to buying soccer goalkeeping pants off of Amazon, they are so much cheaper and have a lot more padding.
The HK Army jerseys and crash chest protector is amazing ! get one ! It's worth the money and super great protection ! I only wear my full head goggle set when they are using First Strike ! Those paintballs suck lol
Well once you manage to put on your neck protector, your chest protector, your protective gloves, your kneepads, your elbows forearms bad, you might as well throw on a latex condom just to make sure you're completely safe.
IVE played for 15 years, Ive owned every piece of gear possible and when I play its normaly in a tee shirt and gym shorts and cleats thats all you need.
Some good advice and I learned this the hard way I use to just go in shorts and a v neck shirt ..the ref asked me if I had any protection to wear told him nah I don’t need that shit …well he suggested I look into protective gear due to me having tattoos …i ended up getting shot on one of my tattoos got home and the tattoo was fucked up at a certain spot …if you heavily tatted wear padding ..,it doesn’t make you a scary ass gotta protect yourself and your investments
@@views5663 Ive totaly seen this happen to friends. personly i think its cooler for the tat but i get it people spend thousand on tattoos. i bet a long sleeve shirt would stop most of it
U probably play with little kids. If u play with me and my buddies you'll be coming out in serious bruises. No mercy. In fact, that's why I'm looking into buying a padded suit and a fully covered helmet
Well I can only speak for me. I have smaller hands and couldn't get a nice grip on the gtek 170r because the grip frame ist just way to big. The shocker has a way more ergonomic gripframe imo. I always recommend to get your hands on the gun before you buy. :)
Best starters next to tippman. I started with an mr1 at 13. Haven’t played for some time and am getting back into it as an adult. These higher brand guns are so much more expensive than I remember. So I’m looking into a spyder Fenix.
I had a enemy and and a Cronus, the eNMEy gets kinda annoying because of the valve that leaks air between trigger pulls. And the Cronus kinda has a heavy trigger pull compared to the eNMEy but they are both really good guns just get the Cronus
maybe a unpopular take but paintball specific clothing sucks and is uncomfortable. from the cheap stuff to expensive stuff. you wanna wear slide shorts and than PB joggers ontop in summer? wear a dye padded shirt with a jersey ontop in the summer while having forearm pads and knee pads aswell. like ive been doing this for years i just wear cargo shorts and a shirt or long sleeve depending on weather. sold all my pb clothing. idc if i look like a new player everytime no mnatter how breathable stuff is when you are layered its hot and uncomfortable. alot of players wanna be Ag on the field im past that stage in life lmao
I used a rental mask my first and only time and the fogging ruined the whole day. I will buy a mask now definitely.
Btw buy some gloves bc getting shot in the hand sucks
@@jeffreyvaldez883 I’d say a good pair of paintball pants should come before gloves, wearing jeans or sweatpants is only tolerable for so long

Gloves are a must for me. I freaking HATE getting hit in the knuckles and fingers! Especially with those hard woods balls. Freaking sucks
thanks for the info 👌🏽
Some paint does wash out, you just have to be sure in case your wearing something you dont want to get ruined. But something you can move in as well.
It’s my first time! Glad Mark said “junk”. Didn’t know how to ask how to protect that area. Lots of good tips…thanks!
Just the vid I was lookin for
Those new grills looks great
I like the chest protector

Wearing layers of clothing does help, just not when it is hot out. But believe me, it helps at times.
I almost always advise against it unless it's cold for two reasons: More clothes really doesn't soften the impact that much and more clothes tends to weigh you down restricting mobility.
Make sure you have good boots too, boots or cleats, just something that’s durable
But if you get cleats, make sure they are Not spiked, those hurt if stepped on, sometimes worse than a paintball.

Oh man I’ve been there when I got shot in the finger could’ve used that glove a long time ago. Lol
I got an HK hstl jersey and a ripstop kilt from UT Kilts, that works well 🤷♂️
I just wear a black hoodie some black cargo pants and some gloves and mask and we good

What if you are allergic to latex?🤔
I go out in a tank top, 511 Tactical pants and boots
Hey I just got that light blue mask 😎
What's the name of it?
What’s the best type of pants for speedball for when it’s really hot out and you don’t over heat?

Thank you like stop being scared people I’m looking into a jersey because they are nice but no pads in the jersey so I could be light as possible
@@scuzzlerking for me I just wanna go for a patted short sleeve shirt and some elbow pads to keep me cool and mobile

Can you take off the head protector on the Flex 8?
Man I want to buy stuff but a lot of things on your site are not in stock.
Yo protect my precious area I use what used to be my taekwondo protective cup cause it covers the cup and around it with 1/2 pads.
Hey can you post a video about what to where if you're short
Should I get a 160r 170r or a shocker amp?
170 R
Smaller Hands -> Shocker Amp
Bigger Hands -> 170r
@@bouzahgaming1016 hand sizes don’t really matter in guns unless u have freak hands you are probably good with either

Neck protector or scarf
What do you think about spyder guns?
they aren’t the best since they are mechanical but it’s just your preference
Best starters next to tippman. I started with an mr1 at 13. Haven’t played for some time and am getting back into it as an adult. These higher brand guns are so much more expensive than I remember. So I’m looking into a spyder Fenix.
Hi
Can I wear my Kilt?
What’s better gog enmey or tippmann cronus
Cronus,anything from tippman is bullet proof
The Cronus will never ever break
Definitely Cronus, it’s literally indestructible, never had a problem with it before I upgraded
I had a enemy and and a Cronus, the eNMEy gets kinda annoying because of the valve that leaks air between trigger pulls. And the Cronus kinda has a heavy trigger pull compared to the eNMEy but they are both really good guns just get the Cronus
imma go in an American flag speedo
Your looking at $250 $300 on that table that you don't need
With the j t mask you might as well just use a dirt bike helmet
I disagree lol
they started off as a snowmobile brand so not far off :D
Anyone wear a cup?
I just wore multiple pants and hoped that I didn't get hit, however, 90 degrees did not help.

Do paintball use cleats?
