What Do I Wear First Time Playing?

6/3/2015

This is a question we get asked frequently. Good rule of thumb to keep in mind...safety and comfort. 

The paintballs feel like a rubberband snap when the hit bare skin. So, the goal is to cover exposed skin and remain comfortable. Although the paint will wash out, old clothes are still recommended because dirt and grass stains are harder to get out than the paint.  


Some Suggestions:

- Dress in layers, peel them off as you feel comfortable.
- Pants and long sleeve shirts. Remember to cover the skin.
- Hats, a beanie or backwards baseball cap go well with masks and give the 
   head some protection. 
- A turtle neck or even bandana tied around the neck will easily cover this forgotten area.
- Hands get shot all the time, they are the most exposed body part as you are shooting 
   your own marker. Light weight work gloves, nothing special, will do the trick.
- Sturdy shoes are a must. You are bound to have an ankle injury tromping through the 
   woods way before you have any paintball related problems. Protect your feet!

As you can see from this list, nothing special is required. That being said, the paintballs will find you. It's the point of the game. Cover your exposed skin, be safe and have fun!

My only recommendation is a pair of inexpensive volleyball knee pads. Depending on how aggressive you are, you can really beat up your knees. Kneeing down on a rock, field stone, or root hurts. Having just a little protection helps cut down on end of the day limps and soreness, and contributes to overall enjoyment of the activity.

I like that you pointed out that we should wear turtle neck clothing or a bandana around the neck since it can be forgotten at times. I will keep that in mind since I plan to book this kind of activity for our first anniversary. It will be a surprise gift for him since he told me about how much he wanted to try this out because it will be like living the game he is playing on his phone. However, we will be using paint instead of real bullets to shoot each other.
