Just a brief explanation as to what paintballing is all about. This is a sport whereby one shoots his opponent using a paintball gun that has compressed air in and is loaded with balls or pellets filled with paint this is why one needs to wear the appropriate paintball clothing. This sport is becoming extremely popular worldwide.

Now wearing the correct clothing is essential when playing paintball as this is far safer as well as makes the game more fun. The clothing worn does not have to be state of the art clothes or does not need to be expensive either.

There are some people who just wear shorts and T shits, which is so not a good idea. Then of course you also get those that are in with the state of the art fashions and wear brand name clothing to make them look cool and slick. But they are certainly not any better at playing paintball than those just wear necessary protective clothing.

The whole objective behind paintball is that the player just wears the right clothing and the major factor is that you are covered from head to toe. The paint from the paintballs has been known to discolor light colored clothing so when making a choice rather go for dark color clothing.

Always choose comfortable clothes as tight clothes will restrict your movements, and make sure the clothes are kept for paintballing only, as you really get very dirty when playing a game.

Camouflage colours are sensible in that they blend in with your immediate surroundings as well as concealing your whereabouts in the bushes. Long sleeves avoid the possibilities of your getting badly bruised should you be hit by a paintball. And another protection for your neck is a baseball cap worn backwards.

A face mask is you’re first and foremost priority, and should be of a really good make and quality; being shot in the face with a paintball can cause some serious damage to the face. Good strong closed shoes are also essential and wearing sandals is a definite no.

All these stipulated paintball clothing items as well as gloves will aid you from getting hurt as well as also helps when you are rolling, sliding or crouching during a game. For those that already participate and for those wanting to participate go online and check the paintball accessories out and where they can be obtained from.

So as you can see, paintball clothing is important for a number of reasons. Gloves, pants, jerseys all have a purpose. With that said - see your options - paintball clothing for girls

NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! Do This

Safety is the main aspect of the sports of paintball. All field operators stress on this aspect on their premise because any untoward accident that happens will tarnish the image of the sport and might lead to action taken by the aithorities. Such had happen in Germany when the government is looking towards banning paintball due to misuse of the paintball marker in public. Definitely we paintballer in Malaysia wouldn't want this to happen. Even though paintball sport uses "air" propelled markers to shoot paint pellets and can leave blue black bruises on the body, it is still one of the safest sports compared with others.

There was a picture posted at Facebook and Angel Bear started the ball rolling by leaving a comment on the practice of the poser pointing fully assembled marker with the naked barrel to her mouth . Of course paintballers will instantly notice that this pose is a real dangeruous act by anyone. But to her it is just fun doing it. Fun or not, NEVER commit into any dangeruous acts. Paintballers are just normal people who play paintball and not stuntman. So never do stunt jobs.

Paintball operator's will usually advice newbies about safety of paintball and the first thing mention is about the safety of using marker. Players are always cautioned of not putting on barrel socks whenever outside of the playing arena and whenever there are players without facemask inside the playing area.

What will happen if he/she accidently pull the trigger? Just look at her finger on the trigger. If the marker slips a bit, her finger will accidently pull the trigger. What a dangeruous "stunt". NEVER! NEVER! NEVER pose with a naked barrel without a face mask and outside the playing area.
