1) better quality, break less in your marker, breaks more on people

2)yes they come with your mask

3) can if you have the money, protects it not NEEDED

4)wear what you want

5)depends how much you shoot, it should be fine

6) yes you do, or overalls are a cheap option

sry but wearing a yellow jersy so that the paint dont show is a bit stupid
plus you will stick out like a soar thumb

.. well, it depends on what colour the paint is really.

I wouldn't say stupid. look at some of XSV's old jerseys

But yeah, if you're going to get into the whole woodsball malarky camo is usually the preferred option, never bother myself. Just use my tourny gear

1. I dont completly understand what you mean sorry

2. Yes all googles will come with some form of ear protection, however some give more and some give less.

3. You dont NEED a tank cover however if you want to keep you tank in good condishion (which i reconmend as you will have it for a while) you may want to invest in one as it will pretect it from being bashed about a bit.

4. Camo doesent neccisaraly give you an edge so i feel its a tad pointless however it is up to you,
By wearing a yellow jersey paint may not neccisaraly be hidden usualy marshals will see you you being hit and arnt stupid enough to not notice that you have been hit so i would base your playing gear colour based on personal prefrence as apose to an advantage in a game.

5. I play with a 4+5 it all depends on how much paint you shoot, if you know you shoot alot then invest is a 4+5.

6. I would defonatly sugest getting playing pants and jersey as it means you have one set of cloths tht are breathable, strong and you can get dirty. so you wont go through loads of trakis

1. There are different types because of capitalism, and the better paint will break on target more often (cheap paint often bounces) but very brittle paint isn't always best for shooting through leaves and twigs, whereas thicker shelled paint will make it to your target.

2.Yes, they do

3.It's a good idea, and they don't cost much.

4. Choose whatever the hell you want, but yellow is probably not a great idea (they do make dark green jerseys *hint* )

5. It all depends on how much paint you shoot, if you know you shoot alot then invest is a 4+5.

6. I'd definately recommend a good pair of playing pants. They just make playing a much more comfortable (and hence enjoyable) experience.

1. Depends on what you play but if its only woods something like recsport or blaze will do you just fine but avoid the cheap whitebox paint more trouble than its worth

2. as the others said

3.if you have a fibre wraped bottle and you play without a cover in the woods your a braverman than me

4. wear what you like despite what some people say cammo can make a difference learned that last time out when i see nothing move up and someone pops out from nowhere and necks me (bloody woods flys/mud/stones give me flatish grass anytime)

5. 3-2 should be fine but really depends on how much you shoot

6. yes yes yes yes the padding in the knees of a decent set of pants is worth its weight in gold ohh and the family jewel protection is a bonus
plus they breath really well (or most do jts eeek)

1. the premium are worth paying more for get good balls instead of buying the cheeap ones stay away from them highly recommended

2. most masks as far as i know come with them

3. an air tank cover would be a GREAT purchase instead of an air tank without one

4. doesnt really make a difference depending on what you want to do, run in and all guns blazing, or sit back and pick people off

5. 3-2 should be fine

6. that would be rather good to buy aswell or either camo army bottoms should be fine
