Use Of The Paintball Mask In Paintball

By Jerry Bencia


Paintball game is involved with paints where each one will be hitting other in paint, so to protect ones face from any damage a paintball mask is used. The main function of the paintball mask is to safe guard the players face from damage and also from other things like entry of paint in to mouth, ear, etc. Another thing you should note, is that some paintball masks have a small profile that leave the chin exposed. Some players do not mind it, while others who have experienced a neck shot understand that getting a mask that covers this sensitive area is important.

The paintball travels with a speed of 300 feet per second. To avoid getting hit by this speedy paint ball the paint ball mask is used. The cost of the paintball mask is around $25 to $100. Additional features like the headbands and visors are also available with the paintball mask. They shield you from the glare of the sun light.

During the course of the play, when you are hit by a paintball, then there is a possibility of all the paint in the ball going into your mouth, ear, nose, eyes etc. So to protect your own sensitive organs from heavy damage, it is highly recommended for you to wear you paintball mask at all times while playing. It's better to have paint splatter on your chin through the breathing area of the mask, then to have a full blown paintball break on your face.

The paintball mask should have good padding facility. This will provide comfort to the player and give him more cushions while playing. You have every chance of falling down during the game. So a good paint ball mask is the one which is capable for protecting your head also without any damage.

Maintaining the paintball mask in a good condition is very important. Cleaning process should be done with utmost care. Just spray some water to the mask to loosen the paint and then use a rug to remove it. But make sure that you don't make use of any chemical for the removal of paint which will be very harmful for the lenses.

The lens provided in paintball mask is a removable one (a feature you can find in select masks). Take the lens out of the mask carefully and clean it with microfiber cloth which will remove all the excess oil in the lens of the mask which will provide you clear vision.
