    Posted: 14 January 2008 at 11:02pm
Anyone else hear take a shower with their gear? Well I do. For two reasons. 1. I love a hot shower after pratice, 2. I hate cleaning my gear. So I decided a while back to do both. Some of the items I bring with me into the shower.

Mask
Tank Cover
Barrel Condom
Pods.
Barrel
Pod Pack

The main item I focus on is my mask. As soon as I get home I rip off my lense and clean it with warm water and soap. After that, I take all my gear a long with liquid soap and clean away. You will get one of the best cleans, and no worry of getting water all over your kitchen etc. And when it comes to drying, hang the mask on the shower head.

Just an idea after a long days play.

I once considered running my lense through the dishwasher.

nope i don't take shower with my equipment.  I'm always muddy after paintball game so i use garden hose and then trow it in washing machine.  I use lysol disinfectant spray for my mask, & always avoid the lense being spray on.

Some silly thing about indecent exposure.

(It's okay Carl. I should have included the original post for clarity.)

I took a field shower at TWC 3 with all my gear on.

Meaning that after I bashed my head into a tree while following Rockslide (bad idea in any context)....Old Soldier showered me off with a garden hose to get the blood out of my eyes.

Worked good. My gear has never been cleaner!

....Memories....

When water gets in between the 2 panes of the thermal lenses, you're royally effed, so be careful with that. I just rub the paint off and run a wet paper towel over the lenses, and use a rag to wipe the paint off the non-lens parts.
