Paintball Vest : What is it?
| Paintball vests have multiple pockets that hold pods, tanks, and other paintball equipment, leaving the hands free to operate the paintball gun. The pockets are positioned so that essential items, such as pods and water bottles, are within easy reach. A basic paintball vest has about three pod pouches on the front, a water pack, gas tank holder, and smaller pockets for CO2 cartridges.

Kinds of Paintball Vests include the following: |
Tactical paintball vests
These paintball vests have more advanced storage features, such as interior pockets, built-in hydration systems, and pockets for radios or other advanced devices. They are meant for long, rough games, particularly those that last several hours and require a lot of reserve storage. They can be used on most terrain types and can also be used for tactical training.
Paintball safety vests
These paintball vests are designed for protection as well as storage. They have fewer pod pockets and pouches than tactical paintball vests. They often feature hard plates on the chest and neck areas, while the rest of the vest is padded. They usually fit close to the body and have adjustable side straps.

Pouches: Choose a paintball vest with pod pouches at the chest level. This will allow you to retrieve pods without having to stretch or reach over your back. Make sure the smaller pouches have closed tops to keep the contents from spilling out as you move. If you get hot or tired easily, look for a tactical vest with a built-in drinking tube and a large water reservoir.
Comfort: Choose a lightweight paintball vest that allows fast, unrestricted movement. Look for one made of breathable fabrics, such as mesh and polyester. Open-sided vests with adjustment straps provide a lighter feel while allowing you to select a comfortable fit.
