A mask definatly and you can wear knee pads but thats your perference. I wear gloves cause gettin hit in the bare hand hurts. If you play woods try to wear camo or dark colors like greens and blacks.

Mask, gloves, knee pads and yer brain is all you need in playing paintball safely....everything else like chest protectors, etc are totally useless.

A mask is essential and covering up any bare skin is a must I wear military fatigues top bottom and a pair of redwings with my paintball gloves and a mask. I just where a t-shirt under the camo. It also depends at what psi you play with. Try and ask your dad if you can play without for like a round then see if you can borrow or rent one for a round. Then you'll have a good idea of which you would like. I tried a chest protector and didn't like it. It felt kind of bulky.

Well my dad made me get a chest protector before I could play paintball and I was 15 at the time and I said well I think it is pointless and he said well you can't play so I was like well I guess I will get one and he bought it for me but I don't really like to wear it. Its to bulky. It only helped me once when I was wearing it a little kid came up to me and he was messing with his brothers imagine and it was on the fully auto setting and he walked up put the barrel like an inch away from my stomache and shot alot of balls at me. I didn't have any brusises but the kids brother sure did. Well when ever I wear it I never get shot in the chest but when I dont wear it I get shot in the chest. One thing I would recomend is a neck protector. If you have ever been shot in the neck it doesnt feel good at all. Its painfull and if you get hit in the adams apple that could be your last paintball game |

As I said before, using a chest protector is usless and in reality why would anyone recieve a hit on the their chest, whats the person doing to recieve that hit....standing out in the open and yellin out "Im invincible", most hits will land above and below the chest line, some on the back, leg and yer butt (Ive seen that a few times |

Chest protectors are definately not necessary at all. Just another way for the company to make money. Anyway you should wear a mask and heavier jacket with a sweatshirt or something underneath. And for pants shorts then jeans then a pair or camoflage pants or something. Try to dress as baggy as possible but not so much that it will get in the way. The bagginess will lessen the impact of the ball on your body.

Remember this too, if yer into speedball....any form of padding on the human body is not allowed to be used and that includes the "chest protector", the ones that are allowed is the mask, gloves and speedball pants wit built knee pads. |
