^^My friend wear some of his dad's old kevlar. That stuff is awesome. He doesnt feel any chest or back shots. I played with one guy that wore umpire armor and we shot him point blank in the chest and he didnt feel it. Just go with double or triple layers.

Doesn't wearing body armor ensure that the ball breaks? I don't know about other fields, but where I play.. if the ball doesn't break, it doesn't count.

I've had all sorts of balls bounce off my torso. Yeah, it does hurt to get hit, but only for a while.. the place that has hurt the longest on me was when I got shot in the buttocks.. but I don't have much layering there. Undies, black pants and my mini skirt. |

Body armor is only used fer those who cant bare the pain of a paintball striking any part of the body and if yer thinkin bout usin it in a speedball tournament ferget it!....theyre considered illegal to use and in woodsball, body armor would jus slow you down and make you look more like a wuss, the only things that you need to protect is yer head, nuts, knees and elbows....personally fer myself I only need the mask and the knee pads.

Yeah, but don't some schools ask about bruises and what not? I know the schools I went to.. if you can with bruises all over, then they'd call home and find out what was going on.

One of my friends used a military flack Jacket after he cracked his ribs in an accident. A shot to the ribs would bring him to tears but he didn’t want to have any absences from playing the game. We usually play woods ball scenario games and so its colors work well. I wouldn’t use one regularly for normal play besides “Pain is temporary, Chicks dig scars and Glory is forever” (I forget who said this)

I'm out of school now, and I didn't play during school.. I've only been playing since May. But I've known kids who had to deal with it.

Body armor in my opinion will ruin the game, because it isn't as much of a rush when you hear 30 rounds shot in about 3 seconds shot at you and you don't expect pain. I reccomend not getting it in general, instead save money and work on your 98 custom.
