By Patty Goff


One of the best ways to have fun is by participating in a game of paintball with your friends. This will help you to bond, as well as spend some quality time together. So as to enjoy our first experience, you must be well prepared for the game. Here are some things which you should bring along to your first outdoor paintball in WA.

It is important to be properly dressed for the game. So that you are not too cold or too hot, it may be advisable to wear layers of clothes. You can then adjust your clothes depending on what you are comfortable with. Checking out the weather forecast a couple of days before will help you know the weather conditions you will be operating under. Layered dressing will also come in handy in helping you pad up, so that you do not feel the sting of the ball.

You will need to wear something on your head. This includes a baseball hat or headwear that is particularly meant to be worn during this game. Wearing a hat will help to protect your hair from getting paint. It will also minimize chances of getting your head hurt. A hat also helps to soak up sweat when you are playing. You can also decide to bring along a scarf so as not to get hit on your neck.

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 decide to play with your bare hands, but is best if you can wear gloves. You do not have to get a fancy pair of gloves. Just about any kind of glove will work fine, as long as it allows you to hold your gun and use it properly. Also, avoid gloves that are slippery.

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.

Other things to carry include a change of clothes, which you will wear when going back home. You can also carry a sponge to clean your shoes. A towel or piece of cloth can be used to clean your equipment. Having some cash in hand will be useful as not all facilities accept credit cards when paying entrance fees. You can even tip your friend who offered to give everyone ride to the game.
