How To Prepare For Your First Outdoor Paintball In WA

By Patty Goff


If you are planning to attend your first paintball game, how you prepare is quite important. This is because it will determine how enjoyable your experience is and whether you win or lose. To enjoy your first outdoor paintball in WA, here are some things that you should bring along.

You should be properly dressed for the game. This will prevent you from getting stung anytime you are hit. The clothes you wear should provide you with ample padding. In addition, your choice of clothing will protect you against the weather. If it is going to be a cold day, layer dress so that if it happens to get hot you can just shed off the layers until you feel comfortable.

You will need to wear something on your head. This includes a baseball hat or headwear that is particularly meant to be worn during this game. Wearing a hat will help to protect your hair from getting paint. It will also minimize chances of getting your head hurt. A hat also helps to soak up sweat when you are playing. You can also decide to bring along a scarf so as not to get hit on your neck.

Wear a shirt that will not expose any part of your skin. The shirt should have long sleeves. A hoodie, which you can use to even cover your head may be a better idea. You can also wear a jacket for backup. Wearing just a t-shirt is not a good idea. There are also shirts that have been specifically tailored to be worn to such games. They are the best option to go for.

You can also decide to wear gloves, so as to protect your hands. Avoid gloves which are too thick, as you may be unable to pull the trigger. Also, avoid gloves which are slippery, as you need something that will allow you to hold your gun with a firm grip.

Wear pants that will protect you against the elements. This is because the game is usually played in rough terrain, which can expose you to rain, thorns and water. Thick pants which can withstand harsh elements will work best. You can wear something dark and loose or a jumpsuit.

Wear tough shoes that will not easily get damaged under intensive use. Boots, sports shoes or any other kind of closed shoes are recommended. This is because they are comfortable and will help to protect your feet. Avoid open shoes or sandals as they will probably get damaged.

There are some other things which you should remember to carry. Bring along some clean clothes which you will change into when going home. A towel for cleaning your equipment will come in handy. You may get thirsty with all the running that you will have to do therefore, carry some water or something to drink. Have some cash on you in case the place you are going to does not accept credit cards.
