First and foremost, a good paintball helmet has to fit. Adjustable straps and fasteners allow for an optimal adjustment to your head, so that the helmet neither pinches nor gets lost in the heat of the moment. The inner shell should also be properly padded so that you don't immediately feel every hit.

In addition, a paintball helmet for players must be compatible with the mask you are using. With airsoft, on the other hand, you have significantly more freedom when it comes to choosing a helmet, since you only wear goggles here. Apart from that, the choice of helmet in terms of appearance and additional functions is entirely up to you. Velcro surfaces for cheeky patches on the paintball helmet are a real highlight on every field.

When are paintball holsters used?

A paintball holster is always a good idea on the paintball field when playing with a handgun. After all, you can't just let them dangle from a sling when you're not using them. Of course, this is especially true if you have a long gun as the main marker and a short gun as a backup marker.

The marker is always safely stowed in the paintball holster and yet ready to hand. And that is the decisive advantage, because especially in the Woodland and Magfed gameplay, pulling the backup marker out of the paintball holster is usually much faster than reloading. However, holsters can also be used in classic paintball if appropriate markers are played.
