Chest Protector / Chest Protectors
Paintballs fly pretty fast. Paintballs fly as fast as 300 feet per second, and even faster when players cheat. Though these velocities are usually not fast enough to cause injury, a paintball can sting pretty good when they hit your chest or stomach. Players may use a chest protector to cushion the blow of a paintball impact. There are a number of neck protectors and chest protectors on the market that are thick enough to absorb a high velocity paintball impact, but light enough and flexible enough to allow players to run and shoot as well as they normally would. Chest protectors and neck protectors are usually sold as two separate products. Both are permissible for use in most scenario games, recreational paintball, and professional tournament games. Most chest protectors on the market come with tough but flexible materials that allow players to have a full range of motion while still protecting their bodies. Most chest protectors are machine washable and protect the entire front of their bodies, just below the neck, and just above the waist. Some body protection systems are designed to protect the front and back of their bodies. The Chest and Back Protector V2.0 from Pro Toyz offers maximum protection for the front and back of the body. The Chest and Back Protector V2.0 has adjustable straps on the sides and over the shoulders to fit almost any body type. The Velcro straps are easily adjustable, and this product is very flexible. Other products form the Pro Toyz Catalog include a CO2 Fill station Standard, psi Gauge for high pressure systems, and a High Pressure 3,000/4,500 psi Fill station.
There are a number of high quality chest protectors that soften high velocity impacts. The 32 Degrees Chest Protector is very well ventilated, with holes that pierce the protector that let this piece of clothing breath. The 32 Degrees Chest Protector straps on over the entire front of the body, and over the shoulders. Other chest protectors do not provide as much support to the top of the body, below the neck and over the shoulders. This protection system was thick enough to soften the blow of a paintball impact, but flexible enough to allow a player to do all the twists, bending, paintball game. Players being bunkered and who are getting peppered with many projectiles at once will appreciate having this chest protector on them. Players that have tested out the 32 Degrees Chest Protector report that it eliminates the normal sting of a direct hit. While some chest protectors are very thick, this chest protector has a think lining that allows players to retain a full range of motion.
If you feel like dressing up like a super-hero, then the Prot Chest Protector 2007 from Proto Paintball is the one for you. The Proto Chest Protector covers the entire trop half of the body, just below the neck all the way to just above the waist. The Protector 2007 covers all the way around the shoulder, and the front and back of the body. The Chest Protector is black with red highlites, with muscular designs like you would see in Brace Wayne's Batman costume.
Most chest protectors protect the player's body to just below the neck. If you are looking for additional protection, the neck Protector from Pro Toyz will get the job done. The Pro Toyz Neck Protector is composed of neoprene and will provide adequate protection for your neck.
Ultimate Fusion Design makes a Camo/Black Chest Protector that is excellent in scenario games.
