I drink tons of water/gatorade and just play on. I keep the windows down a bit in the car and try to keep the paint out of the direct sunlight. Thats about it.

Drink plenty of fluids and you should be fine. I keep my paint in a cooler - keeps it dry if it rains and protected from the heat.

[Panzerr]

The army way. Drink water.

What heat? It was only 119F today, according to Range Control Met-Section.

Well down here in Flordia when you play its about 85 to 98 degress all the time. I wear pants and t shirt and my jersey. After about 2 games I lose the jersey, just play in my t shirt. Also drink water and other liquids. To keep my paint out of the sun I put it in my tent that we gear up in.

Keep 'em comin' guys/girls.....I'm going to being doing an article for next week on Paintball Oregon.
and I'm trying to get a variety of players opinions

I drink lots of liquids and I lose the jersey and play in a tshirt... As for my paint, the staging area is covered so it's never in direct sunlight except when I'm actually playing.

Shorts, t-shirt and lot's of water. You could play like wingman and not wear a shirt.

I wear jersey- and pants and shinguards, gloves... the whole 9 yards. When it gets really hot, I play in a paintball t-shirt. After the game, I have a camelback (kind of like a water "bladder" on your back by which you suck water through a tube for those of you who dont know) and I drink alot from that. Also I sit down, and for me, (this is gonna sound really dumb) I just think about being outside in winter in mu underwear, and a chill for a second comes over me. It is really weird. And I also wear a sweatband to keep the sweat out of my eyes.
