Masks

If paintball is not played with the proper safety precautions, people may become injured beyond mere welts and bruises.

The game involves small gelatin pellets flying around at 100 m/s (300 ft/s), so players must wear masks to completely cover the eyes, mouth, ears and nostrils. Some masks even feature throat guards.

The lenses are made of a strong plastic designed to stop paintballs. These lenses come in many different varieties, including thermal; the thermal type prevents the lenses from fogging up by acting as a double layer.
