I've had buddies wear helmets. After about an hour's worth of play, they take 'em off. Plus, you're giving your opponents another hard surface to break paint on.

As for loadout, I've owned vests, harnesses, etc... for me, lighter is better. Still have my A-5 but I also have about 7 other markers that I like to use, a few of which are nice, light and small. Makes running around easier. And I don't go with my full cammies either. I just throw on my blue hawaiian shirt, my Converse tac boots and an old pair of camo pants and I'm good to go.
