тАЬPaintballтАЭ outfits for the broke blokes
Shin guards-important in case you fall
You can buy one or use any of these materials to make some if you want
* Fiberglass - Stiff, sturdy, and light weight.
* Foam rubber - Very light weight, but not as sturdy and solid as fiberglass.
* Polyurethane - Heavy and sturdy, which offers almost complete protection from most impacts.
* Plastic - Less protective than any of the other synthetic shin guards.
* Metal - Highly protective, but very heavy and uncomfortable
Forearm guards are good too, you may land on your hands and knees.
Motorcycle equipment: jackets, gloves, pants, boots. Made for scraping and trauma. Jackets have extra padding on the spine, elbows, and shoulders. Jackets also can be fire resistant. Gloves are made of leather or Kevlar, some have carbon fiber in the knuckles.
тАЬMade of modern textiles or tough leather, and reinforced with armor and strong stitching, motorcycle pants are built to keep your skin safe in an unscheduled meeting with the asphalt. And being purpose-built for riding, many also include features like weatherproof construction, venting and pockets, or reflective piping for visibilityтАЭ
They can be put on directly over a pair of liner pants or over jeans. If over jeans make sure to buy a size up
If you donтАЩt want riding pants, paint balling pants are also padded. You could even double up and wear both!
Paintball vests can be found online easily. There are some that are tripadded, and they can handle the punch of a тАШpaintballтАЩ easily.
Paintball masks are a must for paint balling. They cover your eyes and face, sometimes your entire head, keeping your eyes safe and your vision clear. Be careful though, because the airway isnтАЩt insulated so youтАЩll still be able to fully тАШsmell bad smellsтАЩ. If youтАЩre worried about insulation or waterproofing, a riding mask that is waterproof is the way to go.
But be wary, riding masks donтАЩt always cover the top of your head.
Sketchers are great shoes for тАШpaint ballingтАЩ. They can come with memory foam on the inside, which takes strain off your feet if youтАЩre standing for long periods of time. TheyтАЩre lightweight and easy to run in if you need to outrun the opposing team.
If you prefer boots though, the best types are such
Motorcycle boots provide a lot of protection for ankles and feet, but are more often stiff and unyielding. Not made for running at all.
UnderArmor has good boots for running and standing, but they donтАЩt protect ankles quite as much.
Sketchers sells steel toe boots if you ever need to kick any equipment away from opposing team members. They also sell steel toe shoes.
Gloves are important too. Sometimes if you use your paintball gun too much, it can get hot, so here are some glove options if you need to hold something hot.
ULINE, tacticalgear.com, and put barrel cooker have heat resistant gloves. As well as LoweтАЩs.
But be careful, most of the time one pair of gloves isnтАЩt enough to stop the heat from burning you.

If you canтАЩt afford a full vest for protection, you can find trauma plates for the vests for a cheap price. It would be best if you combine this with a paintball vest if youтАЩre on a tight budget.
Commonly used in items like yoga mats, sports gear and boat equipment, EVA foam is also the ultimate material for cosplayers of all levels of experience. It is recommended by professional LARPers that you use two layers of foam for shields, but if you want extra protection you can use large plastic bin lids.
You could always do layers as such
ItтАЩs up to you how youтАЩd like to construct it, but it is not recommended that you use plywood as it can splinter if hit by a тАШpaint ballтАЩ
Many other materials can be used for shields, such as fiber glass, the materials are up to you but you should always use more than one layer for maximum protection.
Again, this is totally, totally ONLY for paintball. Nothing else. Not at all
