    if you are so sensative that you need a chest protector this is the wrong sport for you. some times it hurts but what high intesity sport doesnt hurt.

    Chest protectors are for...

    ...women. Getting hit in the tit for them is like being nailed in the nuts for us.

    Guys who wear them are severe weaklings.

    hehe, I've been hit in the nipple from very close range. That stings a lot. I would definetly have women wear chest protectors. That would hurt them a lot.

    the best story i can think of is at our field there was a guy we called "jumper" dave. he had a bad habit of trying to bunker people. Needless to say he wasn't that good at it. On one occasion he came over the top only to be lit up. During the exchange he had his nipple ring shot right out. quite interesting to watch him rolling around screaming moaning in agony

    Never Wear Them

    I personally never wear them, but my sister who plays on occasion has a 32º chest protector she wears. I can see women wearing them, but if your a male and wearing them, thats pretty pathetic if you ask me

    All you really need to play is a mask, a marker and a pair of shoes. Everything else is optional.

    Ol Robbo was explaining to a customer one time about them chest protectors. Apparently, Pevs has quite a few..."adult entertainers" that play at pevs... They wear them so they wont bruise up for their job
    I'd get one just so I can loan em to my lady friends after I sucker them into coming with me

    I wear a cup(after seeing that thread on that dude who put a picture of his scrambled nut...I wont play without one!), I don't wear a chest protector, but it does hurt like crap when you get shot in the nipple! LOL my nipple was all weird looking for months after I got shot there! lol

    ENDO!

    I think it would be a waste of money b/c I rarely get hit in the chest

    getting hit in the boob doesn't hurt that much. its soft tissue so there is that initial pain, but you wouldn't see a woman drop to the ground holding herself like a guy would if he got shot in the nuts.

    I have seen the chest protectors and they are not even made for a woman! They are made for men! The cut is for a man. I think they are fine and if I was to choose between a Chest or Cup, I would have to say Cup. I have been lucky and never been shot in the sackola but there were a few close ones. When I first started playing, I tried to wear a chest protector, but they were to cumbersome and I didnt like the fit. Then I just got used to the feel of getting hit. It took a long time to get used to the hits, BECAUSE I NEVER GOT HIT!! LOL J/K ...I still dont like the chest protectors.

    i don't need one. face it, i never get hit. its kinda like neo from the matrix playing paintball...

    i am always careful about protecting the boys though. i keep my legs crossed whenever i'm exposed. nothing is getting near my, ummm, situation.

    yeah...I agree with graycie. I've been here there a couple of times and the damn balls just bounce right off. Initial pain, and then you get over it. How can you manuever with all that chest crap on anyway?

    chest protectors also help the ball break. usually when it would just bounce off, the chest protector is hard enough that it breaks. i dont use either chest protector or a cup. in the chest doesnt hurt, the back hurts a little. i have had close calls on my junk though. but when i play i have jeans on and they are a bit baggy so that takes all the impact if it get's close. i usually dont get hit in the chest at all. it's usually my left arm cuz of the way i shoot when i run/bunker.

    they should make the masks cover more of your head. i've been hit in the top of the head while diving into a bunker. that stung. i also had blue hair for a while
    I'm not anti-social, I just don't like you.
