To Glove or Not To Glove

[SiLeNt X]

ewwie gloves.............i like my flesh rubbing my trigger and grips

[bunkerking]

I never wear gloves. Even though I have a permanent scar on my hand from some idiot who I bunkered, he shot me back and hit me in the hand. He chronoed off the field shooting 334.

[Speedy]

What!

You took a hit like that and don't wear gloves. All I can say about that is ouch!

Heh, I just remembered a funny Story...

Before I got my JT Tacticals, I used to wear these cut-off wool gloves just cuz I didn't really have anything else.

Anyway, Later in a day of Paintball, I decide to take 'em off since it was gettin' hot, and I had forgotten to put them back on, and like the lazy a** that I am, I figured, what the heck.

So, game starts, etc... I get behind this bunker, well not all the way, and I get nailed on the top of my head.

As I call myself out, I put my hands up in the air, to signal that I'm out, and the bastards keep shootin' from a fairly close range. A shot hits me right on my hand near my wrist.

Next came a long string of loud and obnoxious profanities.

heh, it was that ONE game that I decided not to use gloves, and I've never gone back.

I wear Nike full fingered linemen gloves on my left hand when I think of it, most the time I don't. I've been hit once on the knuckle and once in the palm, it didn't really bother me more than a normal hit.

JT full fingers

I've always worn some sort of glove for paintball, the one day I didn't wear them we were running shooting drills from close range (bunker to bunker) I took 3 in the knuckles from a short burst, they bled for most of the day

I ALWAYS wear my gloves, even if it is only a practice game

[Major Ho]

Oh man...Im still using some good ol' 4 year old JT Rave 600's. I think it was when JT was still into motocross stuff. I like em'. I bet you can even call em klassic .
Anyone else got some "old school" gear?

[EvilErnie]

Half finger for the Evil One!!

I have been hit many times in the hand. I have caught many balls as I stand up to walk off, but its the shots in the armpit that kills me! We dont have anything for the armpit! Ouch...

[ArthurDent]

grrr i had some moron with a 98 hit me 2 times one was in the hand grrrrr friendly fire at 330 FPS...any newbs out there turn your saftys on when you are running with your team mates...

well i will be going out and buying gloves now

[paintballrulzs]

go to nationalpb.com then closeouts. get the jt gloves for 5

[mykroft]

I use RaceFace full-finger gloves. They have inserts on the tips of the first 2 fingers for better grip on shift pods (they're Mountain Biking Gloves) the inserts rock for riding the trigger. best part, they are way cheaper than PB Gloves.

I just got a pair of Dye Core Division 2002 gloves... my god are they nice. I definitely suggest.

[theraidenproject]

next time i go to the field im picking up a pair. cuz last week when i want paintballing, i almost got frostbite, cuz my hands were the only thing uncovered. im going to pick up a pair of full-finger 32*, i dunno what they're called, but my friend bought a pair. i tried 'em on, theyre nice, only $12. i was pleasently surprised, after all, theyre 32*

[~Backdraft~]

JT Pro 2002

I have JT Pro 2002..or will be getting...its on the way. But one of my friends still has a bruise on his knuckle from the last tourney we played at on March 10th. When he got shot in the knuckle it drew blood and it looked like it hurt so three players from team Backdraft...including me have spent the money on some fullfingered gloves.

[hubadlatimmy]

For me it's no gloves ever. I get shot in the hand all the time, get a few nasty scars but you get used to it. I mainly can't wear gloves because EVERY pair I have tried on fits weird I have an odd wrist size for my small hands, and yes I have tried on just about all the JT gloves, ALL the 32 degrees ones, most raven ones, on every one the palm is to thick, and the wrist fits weird, maybe I am just a retard.
