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.

Have the right clothing. The aim of your clothes is to ensure that you stay warm enough or you do not get too cold. The best way to handle this, especially if the weather is fluctuating a lot is to layer dress. This will make it easier for you to adjust your clothes, depending on how hot or cold the weather is. Check the weather forecast a few days to your event to know how the weather will be. Another use of clothes is to pad you up. This will help you not feel the sting of the ball when it hits you.

You have to protect your head from the sting of the ball. Another reason to protect your head is so as not to get paint all over your hair. This is important if you just got your hair done. You can wear a hat under the protective headgear that you choose. The hat will help to soak up sweat around your head.

To protect your upper torso, wear a sweatshirt with long sleeves. A t-shirt may be comfortable but it is not ideal for this game. This is because it will leave a lot of bare skin exposed. Consider wearing a jacket or a hoodie for extra protection. There are paintball shirts, which cover up players quite well. If you can find them, then they will be 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.

The right footwear will help determine how well you do. The wrong footwear can get in the way and even cause you to fall and hurt yourself. Sturdy, closed shoes are ideal. Avoid shoes with high heels or open shoes as they do not provide your feet with ample protection.

Remember to carry a clean outfit which you will wear home. Also, bring a bag to put your dirty clothes. You will need to carry a towel, which you will use to clean your equipment or any hits. Carry lots of water so that you can stay hydrated. Bring along some cash, which you will use to pay as entrance fee.
