Hi all, newbie here just started taking up paintballing, currently borrowing a friends gear but want to start getting my own stuff. Can you guys recommend some options for full face masks? I was also told that a decent bounce vest was another important first purchase.
Thanks all.
As above - it's a personal thing, see if you can try some goggles on. Either by getting to one of the few 'retail' shops (usualy the front door of a warehouse), the shop on a site, traders at an event or chatting to other players at a walkon etc
Bounce vests aren't essential for recreational play, loose clothing does much more for you in absorbing impact and allowing you to stay at a reasonable temperature
In tournaments you are allowed 2 layers only, (except in winter) so that's your jersey and bounce vest
There are again many bounce vests available with different padding designs so you need to look around and see what it is designed for and how it will cover the parts of your body that need to protect from impacts (being shot or diving)
