Paintball Masks - Protect yourself from speeding paintballs!

Players must wear paintball masks at all times during games. Paintballing masks are specially designed to withstand the impact of paint balls being fired at over 200mph. If you want to play this sport, then a mask is an essential bit of safety gear. Recreational paintball fields hire out masks, paintball guns and other equipment, but paintballers who play the sport regularly often like to buy their own kit. If you're a new player, then you may want to check out paintball gun packages, where you get a mask, hopper and air tank included in the price of the marker.

Buying a paintgun as part of a package can be a cheap way to buy all your paintball supplies in one go. Look for a mask with a thermal lens that won't fog up. Masks are worn over your eyes and ears, and also have a shield to cover the rest of your face, whilst allowing paintballers to breathe, speak and hear out on the field. Online paintball stores are a good place to shop for all kinds of paintball stuff, and experienced players are full of tips on where to find the best deals.

If you're thinking of buying a gun package, compare the products on offer. Check out the paintball tanks to see whether they use CO2 or nitro, and how big they are. Most starter packages or kits come with gravity fed hoppers, but bear in mind you'll need an electro one if your new marker shoots faster than 11bps. Don't buy a starter kit just for the goggles and accessories. A mask is vital, but so is a reliable and sturdy marker. Look out for offers on dependable brands such as Kingman Sypder, Piranha and Brass Eagle paint ball guns. There are some great shops selling all kinds of gear for paintball online, so you should find a good selection of masks and guns on the internet.
