Paintball Vest
A paintball vest serves several important functions, including protecting the body from impacts and holding important paintball gear. Your paintball vest will be one of several items of paintball related clothing your will need, including knee pads, jerseys, and headwear. Players will either need a pod system or a vest to carry around the important items that they will need in the game. Some things that a player will need in a game include a squeegee, tool kit, and extra paintballs. Some examples of popular paintballs include Team Colors paintballs from 32 Degrees, Big Ball paintballs from RPS, and Storm paintballs from Severe Paintballs. In most matches, the players will be shooting early and often, and you will often need to fire a lot of paint to stay in matches. Typically, a hopper or loader can hold about 200 paintballs. Often you will need to fire more than that in a single game. If you run out of paint, then you will need to use that extra supply secured to your paintball vest. Some high end hoppers on the market include the Empire Reloader B, the Draxxus Pulse Loader, and the Odyssey HALO TSA LED Frontman.
