Camo | Paintball Clothing
Camo is a slang term or shortened word for camouflage. Camouflage clothing is popular for scenario games and woodsball paintball games where most of the action takes place in heavily wooded areas. In these heavily wooded areas, camo or camouflage clothing makes it harder for the player to be seen. The camouflage clothing makes it easier for the paintball player to blend in with his surroundings, helping him to evade elimination. While tournament paint pants and jerseys are usually in the more modern style of blacks and bright reds, green and yellows, scenario games feature the camo clothing, where players can blend in with their environment and become much more difficult to detect. While pants like Formula 13 Pants from Diablo are designed to make a player stand out and look formidable, woodsball camouflage pants are designed to make a player disappear into the environment or at least make them harder to see.
The colors of camo uniforms as opposed to the colors of competitive tournament clothing tells you a lot about the games a paintballer is playing. UltraLight Fusion pants from Special Ops Paintball are composed of the camo style and are designed for play in the woods. These pants are composed of natural greens and browns that you would see in wooded environment. These pants are designed of all natural colors, all designed to help a player blend in to his environment. While these UltraLight Fusion Pants are designed to make a player blend in, clothing like Havoc-XPants from Raven are made to get noticed. These pants are in the colors black and fluorescent blue. The blue highlights of these pants cut across in 90 degree angles, and they are designed to get a player noticed. The blue colors on these pants are not hues that you see in mother- nature, as opposed to natural camo designs. Rather than seeking to blend in with the environment, Havoc-X Pants are designed to get a player noticed, and these colors are meant to make a bold statement. Both of these kind of pants are reflective of the environment that they players are competing in. In competitive NPPL Super 7 tournaments, the games are fast, and there are is really no where to hide, so the need for camouflaged color is unnecessary. So pants like Skid-Knee Pants by Smart Parts are constructed with other goals in mind. Smart Parts Skid-Knee Pants are designed to impress, with their black base and red and silver flames at both knees. The sharp blacks, reds, and flame graphics are designed to threaten the other team, to impress them, and to hopefully put a little intimidation into them. They are also designed to be functional and durable. The Skid-Knee Pants have abrasion resistant nylon reinforced fabric that will help them hold up to the slides and dives that players will put them through.
In contrast to the Skid-Knee Pants from Smart Parts, camo pants like Marauder II Pants from Special Ops Paintball are designed to make a player fade into his rugged surroundings. The environment around the players wearing these camo Marauder II Pants will be filled with branches, twigs and brush that have many of the same colors as the clothing the player is wearing.
