Choosing The Perfect Paintball Jerseys For The Job

If you’re trying out paintballing for the first time, you’ll no doubt make do with a long sleeved shirt or top that doesn’t matter if it gets splattered with paint. But if you are going to up the ante and get involved in paintballing on a regular basis, it might be a good idea to invest in some proper clothing.

To the regular paintball player, paintball jerseys are an essential piece of kit. They can make a statement about you as a player and as a person they can provide camouflage if you play paintball in wooded areas, and they can also give you protection against knocks, bumps and paintballs.

Choosing Your Budget

Paintball jerseys vary widely in price and quality, so it’s important to decide on what you’re looking for before you begin shopping. Doing some research on paintball jerseys on the internet is the best way to begin. You might also want to ask any friends that already have their own paintball jerseys, to see what benefits theirs offer.

It’s advisable to buy the best quality jersey you can afford, but unless you can pay top dollar for the best there is, you will have to accept some kind of trade off to get a good price.

Which Quality Is Most Important?

There are three points you must consider when looking to buy paintball jerseys. Firstly, you need to ask yourself whether you want to pay for the luxury of a padded jersey. These have extra protection built in to keep your elbows (and sometimes shoulders as well) safe from knocks and scrapes. If you play regularly you’ll be grateful for this feature, and it’s worth the extra money.

Secondly, the better paintball jerseys are made from breathable fabric that will keep you cool and comfortable, especially when you’re paintballing in the middle of summer. Look for breathable side panels to get the best results.

The third point to consider is the actual design of the jersey. It’s possible to get a personalised one if you really want to make a statement ideal if you have a paintballing nickname to live up to.

The type you’ll choose will depend on what kind of paintball games you tend to play. If you are always in wooded areas with trees, logs and bushes for cover, your best bet is to opt for a camouflage jersey in greens and browns. If on the other hand you don’t play in wooded areas, or you’re so good it doesn’t matter what you wear (after all no one ever hits you anyway), then choose a colour that reflects the inner you.

Your enemies can admire it when you take them down.
