Girly Gear

[DekBolt]

Hi Guys

My brother dropped out of coming along to Zombie Land with me and I managed to convince the girlfriend to come along in his place.

After much assuring her that she will have fun, she went online and had a look around for some gear. She keeps dismissing everything as been too blokey.

Any of the ladies out there have any tips on where to get some girly gear if such stuff exists? Mainly clothing in the first instance.

Also any tips or anything I can pass on to her for her first adventure into paintball would also be greatly appreciated!!

Many Thanks
Dan

Know its a bit cliche, but my missus wears the Valken Tron (Pink) jersey and pant's and a Pink/Black Shemagh on her head;

She likes the fact that she looks girly and thinks it makes blokes sympathetic so that they'll go easy on her...... foolish lady.

Any sports that are male dominated seem to lack any decent female kit/ clothing. When they do they ALWAYS go for pinks and baby blues (both of which I personally dislike but I guess there isn't much money to be made in female fitting kit)

I have found/ still am finding it hard to find kit in the colours I like; most kit simply isn't made to fit the female physique.

Best you can probably do is get a pink mask, maybe a hat/bike buff to stop the paint getting in her hair and or pink jersey. The rest is padding and would be under the other stuff anyways. :] But after playing the woods and in the mud the colours of the kit might not make a difference anyway!

Pink Jersey? Bit of a Cliche I know but it's all I can think of haha. (They do a Purple one too)

A factor to consider is that paintball clothing is not necessarily cut to be 'manly' but to be baggy

Just because she is going paintballing she does not have to dress like a paintballer. She will want something comfortable with the ability to protect her from the worst of hits - either padded areas, or loose fitting layers

D: if I didn't have a team jersey on it's way I'd probably get it.

I've read bits around bounce vests not been very comfortable for the ladies as they are designed more for guys?

It this the case and do they actually provide that extra level of padding to stop bruising?
