How To Choose A Paintball Mask

Hi guys, my name is Tommy Pemberton. I'm here with UK Paintball in South London. We are out in the woods today and I want to talk to you about paintball.

I want to talk to you about how to choose a paintball goggle. It's the key bit of equipment when you play paintball. It's going to be on your face all day, so you need to have a bit of equipment that's right for you.

So let's go do it. So the first thing we're going to look at is a set of goggles. These are my DI4s and the main thing to look for in a goggle is the comfort, so if you can, try a couple of different sets of goggles on and check out what feels good on your face.

It's definitely worth getting a comfortable set because when you're out there playing paintball all day, you're going to have these goggles on for a long time and you can't take them off any time when you're in the game zone, so it's definitely the key thing. Obviously, the second thing is about the lens. On a lot of high end goggles now, they have thermal lenses so it's basically like double glazing on the lens, so it basically stops the lens from steaming up.

That's another thing to ask if you are there looking for a paintball goggle. It's definitely worth investing in some thermal lenses because it will really pay off on the day. The other thing is the weight.

And just how it looks. Something that is going to be on your face all day and you're going to be there interacting with other players, so you definitely want it to look cool. Like I said, this is a set of DI4s.

It's definitely a top-end goggle. Here we have a set of rental goggles that you would get at a field. This is a really good set of rental goggles and they are a bit of an industry standard right now.

They are definitely popular right now. They have a lot of forehead protection here, so in case you get shot in the head, it would definitely protect you there. Jaw protection, ear protection, it's a good set of goggles, nice and comfortable and this is probably what you would get issued on the day, so these will definitely do you well on the day.

The only thing is about the lens. If you don't look after the lens throughout the day, then you may start steaming up and you may start fogging up, so make sure listen out to the ref. Speak to the sight that you're at and try and get the best out of the lens you have gotten.
