I got a quick question. Is it better to wear less clothes for speed, or more for impact of the paintballs? What do you guys do? ------------- Silver Bullet 14in Whisper barrel 12v Revy Psychoballistic Drop foward 20oz CO2 |

quite honestly only wimps wear lots of layers so it doesn't hurt as much. i wear baggy stuff so the paintball is more likely to bounce off instead of bursting ------------- if it moves it becomes a target and snipers don't exist in paintball!! get that in your heads people!!

For speedball i wear soem camo pants, a t-shirt, and a Dye 03 jersey. For woods, in warmish weather, I go out in shorts and a t-shirt. Winter is a whole 'nother story. I wear as many clothes as I can while still allowing my joints to function. I also slip some hand warmers into my gloves.  -------------

Something light on the top like a Tshirt and something stong for sliding on the bottom like jeans in the summer. In the winter if there is a lot of snow I wear snow pants and a hoody or a long sleave shirt and the shell to my winter jacket. If there is no snow i dress for the temp. ------------- http://img204.imageshack.us/my.php?image=260991706090alb8rs.jpg">

I wear enough to not overheat ,or dehydrate quite so badly when I play , In Arizona the summer time means that I play in a tee-shirt , now that its "Winter " here , I wear a Teeshirt under a old camo army type BDU shirt . Dress more for the weather , not for bounces ! I get bounces offa the tee shirt as often as anything else !! ------------- SL68-II , micro honed and polished .688" bore . Tuff Enuf .

i usually wear a sweatshirt when i play. it's just enough protenction where it gets to make you not feel it at all after a while.

For me I wear less and just suck up the pain of the impact if I get hit.

hey when i paintball i where two jackets and a carhart vest because when i go we pick the days when if you have a runny nose it will freeze your snot, does that make me a wimp, i paintball with a kid whos 98c took off a pigeons head from 30ft. away, i'm not a wimp but i've taken enough chances with just having a gun one year. ------------- i reject reality and substitute my own |

You should be wearing clothes that will help the paint bounce. Dont listen to these knuckle heads that think they are tough. The point is to not get hit with a break, if you can wear clothing that helps "bounce" thats even better. -------------
