Paintball Attire. Dressing for Battle in the Game of Paintball.
Paintball attire needs to be very durable. The game of paintball is rough and paintball clothing needs to be rugged.
For woodsball, camouflage clothing is required to blend in with the surroundings. Army fatigues, combat uniforms and battle dress uniforms work well and can be found at most Army surplus stores.
Speedball, however, requires a different approach. The field is small and the man-made obstacles make camouflage ineffective. Paintball attire for speedball is often brightly colored to identify the different teams more easily.

There are several key elements to all paintball attire. A face mask is mandatory and elbow and knee pads are advised. Extra layers of clothing are also advised to protect the body against close-range shots.
Footwear is also chosen based on the type of game played. Woodsball calls for heavy duty boots that provide full support for the ankles and plenty of grip. For speedball, however, lighter footwear is called for. The speedball contestant needs to be more agile and would be severely hampered by heavy boots. Speedball players typically wear sneakers with cleats.
Proper paintball attire is essential to participate safely in the game of paintball. Just choose the dress appropriate to the game being played.
