Firstly the nature of paintball needs to be considered, it’s an outdoor sport, after all, meaning you’ll be exposed to various weather conditions whether its wind and rain or a hot summers day.

Recommended Clothes to Wear on Paintball Day

What to wear to play paintball for the first time.

1. Light Weight Clothing

While people may think that it’s best to wear additional layers under the combat overalls issued to you to deflect from paintball shots, this isn’t always the case.

Paintball is a very active game, and with the adrenaline pumping, it doesn’t take long for temperatures to rise. It’s best to keep fresh and wear clothing that won’t restrict movement such as gym clothing.

Players may also want to bring a change of clothes for the conclusion of the game, especially those who may have tested out one too many command rolls.

2. Headwear

Paintballs travel at ridiculous speeds at around 200mph, so it’s best to protect that noggin of yours. As standard issue we offer the Tippmann Valor Goggle, this will protect your head, jaw, and ear.

3. Closed & Comfortable Footwear

Footwear is also an essential item seeing as all national Delta Force Paintball centers are based outdoors in woodland environments.

Ditch the trainers, high heels, and flip-flops and be sure to wear boots with ankle support and deep tread/rubber soles – out in the game zones it can be muddy, wet, and slippery.

Some players may choose to wear Wellington boots if it is muddy during the winter months but it is up to each to decide if they want to choose a waterproof option rather than the safety of ankle support.

Ankle injuries can be pretty common in paintball so shoes and grip are vital. Most players wear hiking boots or trainers. They should be shoes you don’t mind getting both dirty and wet.

4. Clothing That You Don’t Mind Getting Ruined

All though not everyone may take on the combat simulation as confidently and fearlessly as Rambo, paintball is a very active sport and involves a lot of running, ducking. It involves daring tactics that may end up with you ripping or messing with your clothes.

Especially if the weather has been misty and wet. Although we provide you with a camouflage combat suit you can never be too safe and we wouldn’t want your day ruined just because your clothes were. It’s better to be safe and sorry and wear clothes that won’t break your heart if destroyed by paint or dirt.

5. No Jewelry Or Valuable

As mentioned before Paintball is a very action-packed sport that is filled with adrenaline and adventure. It is advised that you wear no jewelry or valuables on the combat ground as there is a high risk of you losing your items or even being injured by them. You don’t want your game to be hindered by your concern for your valuables.

6. Camo Coveralls

Another option that will take care of covering you from neck to wrists to ankles is to toss full body coveralls over whatever you are wearing. You can rent just the coveralls at our location for just $5.00 or an entire protection package for $10.

The protection package comes with a chest and back protector, along with the coveralls, to give you a bit of armor on your body. That package also includes a set of gloves for hand protection that we will address next.

7. Protect your hands

Realistically, your hands are one of the most likely areas of your body to take a hit. Most times, you will be hiding behind an object and face around a corner to try to locate and shoot your enemy. If they are shooting back, it means you will probably be hit in the mask.

Hand shots can be some of the most painful as you don’t have any meat there! So a shot to the knuckle can be a stinger! For this reason, many paintball players choose to wear gloves. Unlike winter gloves, you want to wear a glove where you can still feel and squeeze the trigger.

What Clothing and Equipment is Provided?

The following equipment will be provided

• Camouflage overalls – designed to maximize your ability to hide from the enemy and minimize the risk of getting your clothes covered in paintball splats, our camouflage overalls fit over your clothes for an extra layer of cover.

• Protective visor – these are without a doubt the most important bit of kit you’ll have – paintballs can travel at speeds of up to 200mph, so never take your goggles off in the battlefield.

All paintballers need to be at least 12-years-old (or year seven at school) – this is an industry standard supported by the UK Paintball Sports Federation – and there are no specific paintball clothes for youth or younger players, just different sized overalls.

There is, however, protective chest equipment available, ideal for female paintballers.

What to Wear to Paintballing in Summer?

While a couple of thick layers is good for protection, five minutes of running around in the heat and you’ll be finished. So when you’re working out what to wear when paintballing in hot weather, we’d recommend layering up as you would in the winter, but use thinner layers – so ditch the hoody for a couple of long-sleeved t-shirts, and perhaps replace the heavy sweat pants with cotton combats.

Although you may want to wear shorts and t-shirts in the hot weather, you’ll regret doing so the second you’re struck by a paintball pellet – so thin layers of protection is your best option!

Do paintballs wash out of clothes?

Although Mayhem will provide a camouflage overall and we recommend you only wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, no one wants their clothes to be permanently paint-splattered.

If you’re wondering ‘Does paintball paint wash out?’ the answer is ‘Yes!’ – paintballs are water-soluble, non-toxic and will wash out of your clothing on a normal wash cycle.

Paint on your hair or skin will also wash out easily in a shower, and the paint is hypoallergenic, so there should be no adverse reactions from taking a hit, other than a mark if you get one directly on your skin.

Consider These Clothing Recommendations for paintballing

Everything you need to wear to stay safe and injury-free is included. This section will be devoted to providing you with some additional tips that I have learned through experience that you may not be aware of.

Dress appropriately for the weather.

The majority of the games I play take place in a state where the weather is cold and doesn’t change much throughout the year. As a result, I wear quite thick clothing to keep warm without impeding my movement.

When I went to play in Florida with the same equipment, I realized my mistake. It was extremely hot, and I nearly passed out from heat exhaustion.

Wear old clothes that you don’t care about

To play paintball, never buy new pants or a long-sleeved shirt. Choose clothing that is either old or that you don’t mind losing. This is because the majority of your time spent playing will be spent diving, crawling, and rolling around.

There’s a good chance the stains on your clothes and pants won’t come out. Not to mention that if the terrain is rough enough, you might even tear it.

Only wear darker colours or camouflage.

Paintballers who dress in bright colors stand out like sore thumbs and are easy to spot. When playing Woodsball, it is best to wear darker military colors that will help you blend in with the surroundings.

This does not apply to speedball players, who can wear whatever colors they want as long as they are not prohibited. I enjoy wearing camouflage because I am a paintball sniper who spends the majority of the game hiding.

When Extra Protection Is Necessary, Wear It

Some players are more sensitive to pain than others. Paintballers who want to reduce the amount of pain they will experience should bring as much gear as possible. Knee pads, elbow pads, a paintball mask, chest protectors, and neck protectors would be my choice.

As long as you have a high-quality paintball, every inch of your body will be covered, and the pain from being shot will be minimal.

Bring an extra set of clothes or a towel.

This was my first blunder during my first paintball game. I was filthy after the game after playing for hours trying to learn the ropes. I had forgotten to bring extra clothes, so I was forced to sit in my car with mud all over me.

My car seat was stained, and cleaning it was a nightmare. Bring an extra set of clothes or a towel to sit on in the car to avoid this scenario. When you have to clean your car or walk around in public, it will save you hours of stress.

What to wear for Face and Head Protection

Let’s start with protecting the head and face and work our way down. Masks, also called goggles or helmets, are designed to cover your entire face from ear to ear. and head to foot. Masks use a polycarbonate lens that is rated to stop a paintball and must follow ASTM standards for eye protection.

While most masks just cover from the face back to the ears, some masks cover the entire head. These are not very common and realistically you should not get hit in the top of the head very often.

People are normally not above you shooting down at you, so the only way you normally get hit on the top of the head is if you look down as a paintball is coming toward you.

What to wear for upper body protection

Different size paintballs hit with different amounts of energy. At GatSplat, we are exclusively a low impact, .50 caliber facility. A .50 caliber paintball has one-third the mass of a normal paintball and doesn’t have as much sting, so you don’t need to pay up as much as you do with standard .68 caliber paintballs.

We have many customers that wear long sleeve t-shirts when playing. Since a lot of our business is birthday parties, many of our customers are younger. With younger or more pain-sensitive players, they may want to layer a long sleeve shirt with a sweatshirt or hoodie on top of the t-shirt.

What to wear for lower body protection

Long pants should be worn, either indoors or out. Not only from the standpoint of getting hit with a paintball, much like above, a layer of clothing is important, but also we want to protect ourselves from the environment.

If playing outside, you might be walking through a brush, and you could easily scratch up your legs, get insect bites, tics, etc. Wear clothes that will protect you from what you may encounter at an outdoor field.

What should be the age of the player?

The huge determining factors is the type of field, type of paintball guns, and the age of the player. A low-impact field like ours allows kids as young as six years old to play, while many fields only use the standard paintball guns and start at age 10.

If we equate getting hit with a paintball to being snapped with a rubber band or snapped with a towel, we can assume different people will have different feelings about getting hit!

If however, you snapped that rubber band through one or two layers of clothing, the result may be radically different.

In summation, learn about the environment you are going to play in, evaluate the pain tolerance of the individuals that are going to participate, and use the above reference to dress accordingly!

What Should I Wear If I’m a Girl Who Wants to Play Paintball?

To prevent being wounded or soiled when playing paintball with your pals, you will need to wear specific clothing.

Here are some of the greatest clothing suggestions for females who want to play paintball:

Padded bra or sports bra:

This is an important factor for ladies to consider before heading to a paintball game. It may be really painful if someone inadvertently shoots you in the chest region. It is essential to have some coverage there. For some women, a sports bra with a regular bra beneath may be the ideal solution.

Layers of clothing:

Wearing a tank top or sleeveless top with a sweatshirt, hoodie, or long sleeve shirt on top is recommended. This will make you feel more confident throughout the game and may minimize your worry of experiencing pain if you are shot.

Clothing that can become filthy:

This is critical since the primary goal of playing paintball is to get muddy and dirty with paint bullets (balls). As a result, you should never wear clothes that you love or that you don’t want to destroy with paint.

Camouflage clothing:

Wearing brightly colored or eye-catching clothing will not assist you since the goal of this game is to avoid being shot by another player. White clothing is also ineffective. The idea here is to wear black or dark-colored clothing that is difficult to identify on the field where you will be playing.

Sweatpants with leggings underneath:

Because sweatpants and leggings are both comfy, many ladies utilize this strategy. These two outfits are highly recommended since they are constructed of sturdy fabrics that are great for paintball.

Tennis shoes are perfect for this game since they may be both comfy and protective, which is exactly what a female needs when it comes to this game. It is preferable if you choose a pair that does not annoy you at all.

Gloves, vests, knee protection, helmets, and camo suits are all available. The majority of paintball fields provide this protection components, which must be worn to complete your paintball uniform. However, if they do not have them, you may purchase all of these items if you wish to play more than once.

Summary

This equipment alone provides almost complete protection to your whole body but if you feel the need to protect some of the more sensitive areas of your body we also offer protective gloves at affordable prices.

Paintball tips for Females

Here’s what you should know before your first game as a female:

Do not be frightened by other ladies or guys who know how to play:

Perfect practice makes perfect. If you keep playing and learning how to play, you will soon be as excellent as the others.

Try to overcome your phobia of paintball:

Yes, paintball shots may be painful. However, if you get too worried or afraid, the agony might become unbearable. Every time you play, you will feel worried and agitated, which is not the purpose. The idea is to have a fantastic and enjoyable day with friends.

You must be focused and aware of everything:

This game/sport demands a high level of focus as well as some talent (like fast reflexes).

Teamwork is essential:

You will not be able to do anything until you discuss and arrange everything with your team. You must assist them, and they must assist you.

People will ultimately notice you if you remain in the same position. Throughout the game, you must move with caution and regularly.

Put your hair in a ponytail, braid, or bun: It might be aggravating to have your hair in your face during a game, so this is necessary before you begin.

Summary

Our paintball goggles cover the entire head, providing 360-degree protection against any stray headshots. Our US-Spec paintball guns are top-of-the-range and allow for the ultimate firepower.
