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?

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.

T-shirt and either pants or shorts.  Mostly pants because i slide on my knees.  (Summer)

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.

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 !!

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.

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.

Just the usual speedball stuff:

-CSG Jersey with a t-shirt under

-Empire pants and gloves

-Redz padz

-Slidershorts, with shorts over then pants

Its kindof baggy for bounces but legal and not to much to slow me down
