Paintball Gloves Prevent Hand Injuries
Paintball Gloves
Wearing paintball gloves while playing paintball reduces the your risks of sustaining scratches and injuries during the game. Hand protection also enhances your grip for better performance and targeting.
Advantages of paintball gloves
Paintball gloves protect the hands from abrasion and friction when firing paintball guns, giving you a stronger grip on your marker. Gloves absorb the impact of the gunshot, as well as the impact from paintballs fired by your opponent. In cold weather, they also provide warmth and insulation to maintain your feel of the paintball gun.
Your choices
Material. Paintball gloves are made from light and durable fabrics such as nylon, leather, and plastic. They are usually padded to provide a cushion for the hands, but they should not too thick and heavy as this can restrict your hand movement.
Style. Paintball gloves can either be half-finger or full-finger. Half finger gloves are ideal for use during hot to normal days. They allow the fingers to move freely and allow some air to pass through so that sweat does not build up inside the hands. They cover the entire palm, providing adequate protection from hits, impact, and scratches in case of falls. The best advantage of using half-finger gloves is that they provide maximum feel of the trigger, allowing faster firing. However, they offer less insulation against trigger shock. Full finger gloves cover the entire hands and fingers. They provide warmth and adequate insulation to protect the fingers against injuries. Their main disadvantage is that they can interfere with the finger movement when pulling the trigger, which can slow down your firing rate. They can also be too warm for hot days.
