When shopping for paintball accessories , make sure to look for a water proof seal. If you are a hard core paintball player and you want to play even in the coldest of temperatures and wettest of seasons, don't forget to get some tactical shooting gloves.  While masks are a must, protective gear for other parts of the body are optional, without protection, getting hit with a paintball can be pretty intense.  This is why many players also use helmets, gloves, elbow and knee pads, chest and groin protectors, and a ghillie suit. These accessories ‘take the sting’ out of paintball and allow for a much more enjoyable game.
