Re: Paintball in the rain?

Light rain sure, but a heavy downpour no. Not unless you're a hardcore scenario player. Well actually as long as I have my boots on and my paint is waterproofed, I would probably stay out. It's just water. Plus camo works much better in the wet.

Re: Paintball in the rain?

Playing in the rain is great as long as I can keep my goggles and glasses from fogging, which I have a hard time doing anyway. Played last year in the rain while it was drizzling, but everyone wanted to stop when it downpoured. All I could do was stand there in the downpour and try to convince everyone to come back out.

Re: Paintball in the rain?

i said no. I just don't think i would put something that i spent all that money on into those tough elements. When it starts to snow i might consider playing in that, but otherwise, no. no rain for me.

Re: Paintball in the rain?

Rain and mud combined with paintball add a new level of awesome to playing, especially when it rains during a large game such as a scenario.

Plus it's just straight up good fun to watch all the 'lil agglets run off the field trying to keep their precious electros dry under their jerseys.

Re: Paintball in the rain?

I love it except the first time I played I had a non-anti-fog mask so yeah they Fogged up like none other, but now I have my JT Spectra and they won't fog for even the fog god.
