Is it ok to wear glasses while paintballing? ?

Question

I'm planning on going paint balling soon, and I wear glasses I don't have contacts and I can't wear them so its not an option, is it ok to wear your glasses under the face mask? Can you wear them under the face mask even?

I don't want to risk damaging my glasses since I bought them yesterday and they were 238.00$.. so .. Let me know, I don't want to keep missing shots if I can't see hahaha.

Also have they made better paint balls that don't hurt as much when you get shot by them? Where does it hurt the most?

Answer 1

The face shield they should use should cover your entire face including your glasses so they should be no problem.

As for the pain.  No they will hurt.  But there are things you can do to protect yourself.  Wear layers of clothing.  Yes you will be hot but the layers protect better than just one thick layer.  Wear long pants like jeans and long sleeve shirts to cover your arms.

Good luck and have fun.

Answer 2

ok if there as much as two hundred dollars dont wear them even if the mask has a generous amout of space. even if you cant see the painballs . two hundred dollars is as much as it costs to get the equipment. PAINTBALL DOESNT HURT AS MUCH AS PEOPLE SAY IT DOES. just wear long sleeves and long pants and the mask and you should be fine.

good luck
