The must have paintball protective gear
Aside from facemasks and headgears, some of the most basic protective gears that you must have are elbow pads, knee pads, and chest protectors. Other equally important accessories include neck protectors, barrel blocking devices, and chronographs.
There is no lack of excellent protective gears that you can acquire. For chest protectors, some of the top brands include Empire Grind or Ground Pounder, Redz Chest Protector, BT Bulletproof, Valken Elite and Overload, Invert, and JT Folding Chest Protector.
For knee and elbow pads, you can choose Planet Eclipse Distortion, Valken, Invert, Angel Air Time, Empire Grind Pro, SLY Pro-Merc, and Dye Tournament gears.
There is only one rule when choosing the right paintball protective gear: the items should be well-built to withstand stunning impact. The protectors need to have strong interior padding made from gel and thick foam. For chest protectors, you need to choose those with cooler interior foam and thick exterior fabric. Vented designs are also preferable in order to ensure comfort during play.
Your protective gears should protect you and not hamper your movements. So it is best to have knee and elbow pads that are highly flexible while the chest protectors should not overburden your shoulders.
