heh, yeah Reb, indoor fields ftw.

But for reference. I go with wool socks. Never go with cotton. When wool, gets wet, it can also dry out again, while your still wearing it. Cotton can't.

If your boots suck, wear plastic grocery bags around your feet. They keep your socks dry.

don't buy winter camo. stick with woodland. Chances are you are still playing in the woods. The key to staying hidden in camo is to keep from moving anyway.

I love my Carhart's!!! I wish they still fit.

Wear layers. Sometimes you overheat, and you really don't want to sweat. So lose layers as you heat up.

Pretty much everyone has their own great ways to keep warm, and other people learn from hearing what works sucessfully.

Now about keeping your gun from feezing. I have used co2 in a snow storm but i would go with comp/air or somthing like that. If you do use co2 dont fire too fast or maybe tape a hand warmer on the side of you gun and polish your internals up, less of a chance of ice getting in there and sticking. and before you go, oil the gun to lube it up but then wipe as much oil off as possible. less oil to freeze
1 paintball gun package=$150
1 case of paint=$50
air & entry fee=$15
lighting up newbies all day long= Priceless

Last winter (in massachusetts-frigid winter last season) We didnt wear a lot of layers. We were preeeetty cold walking to the field, and setting up. after the first few games, we were fine. May have been the staging area under a train track bridge with no wind getting us.

I just had a desert camo field jacket, some pajama pants and whatever other pair of pants i found.

I put my co2 tank in a cloth tank cover, a sock, then in a pack for a fat water bottle for hiking.
