The jerseys in this game are thicker and usually long sleeved. It depends where that playing field is as to what jersey to chose to wear. In indoor arenas, the blockades are generally bright colors, so a bright jersey would blend more easily. However, when playing in the woods with just natural surroundings, its better to choose something in more neutral colors that will camouflage well with nature. Different professional teams have their own paintball jerseys and designs, so players can also pick one of these jerseys to show support for a beloved team.

Paintball pants follow the same sort of rules as the jerseys. The color of the pants will usually correspond with the jersey and its vital to buy the right color pants to match the surroundings. The sort of paintball play must also be taken into consideration. Some pants are thicker and offer more protection, but these will also be much warmer to wear. Consider the climate of where the game takes place when purchasing pants. The pair of pants will need to offer protection as well as comfort. They should fit well to allow running, jumping and dodging.

Footwear varies in paintball players. Some prefer heavy duty boots, while some like the traction given to them by cleats, and some even wear sandals. The important factors in choosing footwear are considering whether the play is indoors or outdoors, the weather, and the set-up of the preferred area of play. Boots may be more appropriate in outdoor arenas, while sandals may also fit in different types of outdoor areas. The cleats offer a more versatile option whether the game play is indoors or outdoors. Cleats prevent sliding on slippery floors from paint or just in general.

Gloves are very important when playing this game. It's what paintball markers are held with as well as protection for hands. Players need protection because of the chance of getting shot in the hand and the possibility of getting a cut from the shell. It's also important to protect the hands if game play involves crawling around, as in certain paintball arenas. It is important to find gloves that grip the gun firmly as well as fit the hands snugly, but not too tight. Since the trigger is controlled by hands, the glove must fit correctly.
