dont be a badger, i just wear combats and a t shirt as you get hot and the visor mists up, last year we had some paintballs left over so 4 of us stood 2 at each end and walked towards eachother shooting till we met then we went back and did it again, hurt like fuck but all part of the fun though

just wear some leather trainers or walking boots. you want to be quick on your feet cause a barrage of paint balls stings like fuck. if you are going for trakkies you can expect to get pinged in painfull places like the inside of your thigh or the back of your knee. keep padded but not overly warm.

Wear whatever you like, you get overalls to put on over your cloathing anyway.
I did it in the freezing cold, the paint balls were not always breaking as it was that cold.
It stings alot, leaves a bruise and some of them drew blood but it was a good laugh.
Also, the masks are shite that you get given. The visors steam up very quickly so you become blind but if you take your masj off you get a bollocking. Try to breathe out through your mouth only and it will be fine.
BTW if you wear too much padding you'll sweat like fuck and it will make your visor steam up quicker if it's cold outside. We had lads running back to base to remove coats, jumpers etc as it was impossible to play, mind you it was only a few degrees outside when i did it.
You get told all this before you play anyway so don't worry.

i wore a jumper when i went on the 22nd of december. was fucking freezing but when you have all the gear on it gets really hot. i almost fainted
it doesn't hurt that much, as long as you don't get pillocks shooting you from 2ft away.
