Paint Ball Masks - Essential bits of kit!

Wearing paint ball masks at all times during games is a critical safety rule for players. Masks are designed to protect the face from the dangers of paintballs traveling at over 200mph and it's a requirement of commercial paint ball arenas that all paint ballers wear theirs during play. Paint balling masks are larger than goggles and are made to be worn over glasses. They are specially adapted for paintball games and cover players' eyes and ears. Check out paint ball gun packages that include a mask, hopper and air tank.

Masks are essential paint ball equipment. The lenses should be coated with anti-fog film to prevent them steaming up during the action on the field. A mask includes a face shield to cover the mouth and nose, while at the same time allowing paint ballers to breathe and communicate verbally to team mates. You can buy decent masks from good online paintball stores, which usually stock a range of paint ball supplies so you can buy all the stuff you need on the internet, from semi auto guns to cheap after market barrels.

For beginners, a paintball gun package can be an inexpensive way to buy all the basic paint ball gear in one go. Packages can be great value for money, but it's important to check the marker is one you want. Decent entry level paint ball markers include the likes of Kingman Spyder, Piranha and Tippmann guns. In addition to masks that offer protection from paint balls, many players like to wear guards and pads under their clothing to prevent bruising when crawling and jumping about during the game. Whether you're a recreational paint baller or a tournament player, safety should be a top priority on the field.
