Love that pillow protection

[@oldsoul8265]

For my first time playing, I wore some camo pants and a hoodie. Just something I could get dirty. If you feel like you want more protection, go for it. You should feel comfortable and protected. Like Brad said, just go and have fun! It’s a great sport and I hope that any new player seeing this finds a great group of people at their local field that makes them want to come back and play again!

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

Good stuff. 👍

[@Browseidon]

Thrift store was a very good point, got my self a 15$ pair of cleats that have lasted me all season and are my go to paintball footwear now

[@LemonHead-sq5ws]

I got brand new cleats for 25

[@djmidnightwolf]

This video is by far the most helpful. Been 20 years and things have changed

[@Silikus74]

wore a tshirt or long sleeve camo, cargo pants/short and my steeltoe work boots for years. finally upgraded to using a jersey/camo tshirt with arm pads, HK Army hardline pants and $50 cleats from a local sporting goods store.

[@porter936]

PBRML for the win!!

[@VintagePaintball]

Love it!

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

Thanks!!

[@stinkythor]

the breakout with the pillow was amazing

[@sicario_paintball]

I honestly thought I was gonna have a really hard time running in Dress Shoes, Yes Dress Shoes. I even screwed in washers and nuts to work as cleats but it actually held up really well. My friend and I went as Cosplay John Wick and Cassian in AndCollar stain repellant suits. (Magfed) HAD A BLAST!!

[@xashmak1892]

Looks like you had fun with the editing!

[@PaintballBoutique]

Love the thrift store recommendation! Great way to get affordable clothes to get messy at the field

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

So true!

[@crimcyan3037]

5:42 I've been conuncused by paintballs before, the kid 4 feet behind me was blind firing and shot me 5 times in the back of the head. So concussions can happen

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

No fun. I was thinking about cutting that out, should have elaborated and said it was rare.

[@tylermallory2504]

if you get a concussion from a paintball you should probably wear a helmet and use a mouth guard at all times, plus I think living in a bubble just for safety is probably a beneficial choice too!

[@crimcyan3037]

@@tylermallory2504 okay lets see how well you do getting shot point blank in the head multiple times. What type of dumbass comment is that? Injuries can happen in any sport. I've broken toes from playing too

[@gurzmatgurzmat7918]

This is very informative thank you

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

Glad it was helpful!

[@WastelandWanderer1216]

First time I went paintballing I wore an old Hoodie, a pair of blue jeans and a pair of tactical boots and this was in Texas in the middle of June.

[@swayshawty]

Them fancy shoes got me crying😂

[@urfaceistoofunny]

The padded shorts come in clutch. Got shot on the sides near the jewels a few times last week lol

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

You bet, I added a soft cup when I play a couple years ago.

[@Outlawspaintballofficial]

For a headband I take a t shirt put the head hole on my head and tie the sleeves behind the main part

[@thewiseguy7100]

Why doesn’t paintball grow? Ridiculous prices for markers that’s why. I own a business, have enough money to buy top of the line markers but spending over $1,200 for a marker is ridiculous

[@carlaxeldanckwardt6606]

The dealbreaker for me in the cost of decent paint. I can bare a one time cost of a decent marker. But the cheapest case of paint here is 50$.

[@crimcyan3037]

​@@carlaxeldanckwardt6606I'd be playing weekly for $50 for a box, all fields near me want $180 for a box so I just refuse to play anymore

[@mikeceebo8611]

What? You can get a working marker for like $100. Is the $1000 one going to be better? Probably, but the fun is the same. It's just a pretty dead sport, all the mil-sim people went to ASG and without them there aren't that many people left to want to play paintball exclusively, at least not in my area.

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

You don’t need to buy $1200 gun, I use a $300 gun nearly every time I play.

[@adamhamrick1491]

I tell all new players the same thing, spending over $400 on a marker is stupid. I used to play with a kp3 and a low cap hopper and clean house all day for a bag of paint against guys with lux's and PE.

[@azmc4940]

A thick hoody over the protective shirt works well for me, tho I found that actually putting the hood on makes my mask fog up because it blocks ventilation from up top and the sides.

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

For sure, good point. 👍

[@hanksamuelson]

ah yes, the Cloak of Invincibility. Harry could of finished up the series in one book with that bad boy.

[@mikew2893]

Any weather condition you want the Cathartt insulated coveralls.

[@Isaac_L..]

I actually almost always play in shorts, but I also wear knee pads. I prefer the better mobility and staying cool

[@maxpowers3494]

Knee pads that they use for volleyball are the single most important item, cheap and super effective.

[@azmc4940]

Yea knee pads are essential, also sliding shorts to protect your hips and butt.

[@maxpowers3494]

@@azmc4940 Yeah, but sliding shorts aren't cheap. This video mostly applies to newer players. Most newer players aren't sliding around like that and don't have the money to invest in sliding shorts. Volley ball knee pads are like 12 bucks and they make a huge difference.

[@Spizwackle]

Yup... Volley ball knee pads are inexpensive and offer amazing protection.

[@alexlines3180]

Where did you get that camo long sleeve shirt at or what's it called? Definitely would like to pick one up.

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

It’s pretty old unfortunately no one really makes anything like it anymore. I’d look for the Valken Echo or Valken Tango jerseys though.

[@RM-uy3ec]

Been thinking about upgrading to a carbon mask from a grill 2.0. Worth it? (Also interested in a push mask but I will not use a proflex as long as I live)

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

I think so the Zero is much much more breathable.

[@carlaxeldanckwardt6606]

I have no idea why I’m watching this :D I’m not new to paintball. And I will keep wearing my neon green clothes even when playing in the woods because I want people to see me.

[@Tampa_tom]

In the summer I play shirtless. But I need pants , head band, and high top cleats other wise I get cuts on my knees , sweat in my eyes, and I’ll slip on uneven ground and twist my ankle

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

I used to sometimes play in tan on tops, shirtless is way to brave for me.

[@Grass5113]

What gun would you recommend thats under 400? I really want to get my own gear but i also dont want to break the bank.

[@BAGofTALENT]

the functionality of the pillow can be appreciated 🤣 we all know those head shots are the worst .

[@SeanLewisMedia]

My beard is my neck protector lol

[@ayeeJai_]

what pants r u wearing at 7:17??

[@Timber_LXG_5]

My only question is did the pillow get any bounces?

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

Nope played twice didn’t get shot in the head. Almost had someone shoot me in the head to try lol

[@Timber_LXG_5]

@@PaintballRuinedMyLife accidently invents the new strat with a joke

[@vickvinegar6018]

Pro tip for dudes. Wear a protective cup in some compression shorts. Ive seen many men crying unable to drink water after getting their nuts painted lmao

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

Yep. 😀 kzbin.info/www/bejne/amKyi6qKq9t-Z5Ysi=A-LWuqgKKdZjRjLh

[@tylermallory2504]

old sneakers, shorts and a tank top... chicks dig scars! lol

[@nc6891]

Get some bubble wrap protection going on

[@dealler669]

If only there was something made specifically for people who go on real combat missions and need to dress appropriately. Something like a uniform maybe? I know, wild though. But if you want to look like you just got out of bed and were lazy to change your pyjamas, suit yourself.

[@217RockStar217]

Pillow head for the win
