Why You Should Have a Good Paintball Mask

By Jerry Bencia

As the game of paintball involves with hitting paintball on the opponents, a protective paintball mask should be used by the player in order to protect his face from any damages caused by the hitting of the paint ball. Many players will agree that the paintball mask is an important piece of equipment, one they are happy to spend more on if it offers great visibility as well as protection.

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 padding in the paintball should be good, so that the player may get more comfort during play. These padding are provided inside the paintball mask. The advantage of this padding is that, even if you tend to fall while play, it will protect your head without any injury.

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.
