Don't get the Dye Goggles they are useless. I know several people with them and they steam up. JT thermals are the best.

Get your parents to take you to Warped Sports in Wolverhampton, Phoenix Paintball in Cannock and Paintball Planet in Manchester. They will give you good advise, let you try afew markers and then you can make a decision.

Try and get to a tournament, talk to the players, see what they are using. There is one at Utoxetter on 28th July, thats not too far from you.

If you don't want to shell out too much on goggles, then the V-Force range are pretty good choice, a lot of sites sell them (because they use the standard model for punters) and Diablo Europe distribute them - website is http://www.vforcepaintball.com/vforce.php, and there's a contact number for the UK/Europe blokes there.

Cheaper than JT's/Dye, thermal lenses and the "quick change" lens system makes them a joy to clean/replace.

As a starter gun, I definately recommend a 98 custom. Tippmanns are renouned for outstnding reliability (I have litterally seen a 98 filled with sand, dumped out, had lube put in, and it still fired). It is a low maintenance marker, it can perform without any regular cleanings, although it is always best to dissasemble and clean a marker before and after each day of play.
For goggles, I reccomend the JT iNvander. Its cheap, about $30 us, sturdy, and offers more than adequate protection.
