Would it hurt a lot if it were to hit bare skin, or an area with a sleeve over it, such as a jacket?

No it won't hurt, I shoot myself and others point blank on bare skin no problem.

Well it'll give you a sting on bare skin but no welts or anything other than a light red mark. You have to remember the BBS these airsoft guns fire are have like zero kinetic and energy. So anything thicker than a thin shirt will stop these dead in their tracks

Well it doesn't seem to bother the squirrels in my bird feeder on their bare skin:) You failed to mention at what distance? At point blank you are gonna hurt and will have a red mark. If you're 30-40 feet away you'd feel it but not real bad. The problem is they are not that accurate, and wind will make them drift. Make sure you have something over you face and eyes.

It'll sting for sure. Bare skin at point blank is gonna surprise you a bit.... From a distance it's barely a bother.

My 6 year old son got hit on the bare arm and it did cause a small welt with a bit of a sting. With a jacket, he really did not even feel it. Distance will obviously play a huge role in any pain due to speed of pellet.

The kids here are ages 8 to 15 , the youngest said if it hits you in the arm from close up it hurts , if it hits you in neck from close you'll want to quit game. All other shots you notice but not enough to stop playing. (The 8 year old is very small child.) All kids agree that it is one of the best airsoft pistols we own. Good luck. :-)

No, I really don't think so. It's probably too large, and would be suffocating unless you removed the fabric, at which point I think it would likely be irritating to the face.

Must be bare skin. Go for hands, legs, or neck. I did tried it on myself it's. Pretty good and cheap!

Yes...to be honest if I was being attacked I would go for soft exposed areas like the neck

I have a larger leg circumference so that affects the surface area accomdoated. The contact points for me are just a bit to the outside of the knee cap itself. If you are experiencing pain directly on the knee cap or below it (i.e. shin area) this would likely cause a dilemma for you, otherwise you would be alright I would think. If it is in the area that would create a dilemma, (lamentably I have had pain there too!) I have used a standard ice pack with an ace bandage. Best of luck

yes, you will not be able to put the entire sleeve on, but tightly squeeze on as much as you can

Personally, I would. You could risk some serious chafing without a layer between the belt and your skin. Of course, I see that the comments below say that it is fine, so then perhaps it's worth a try! :) (I think that it depends on how many hours you are running for!)

I don't think I would use mine for that. It would be easy to grab skin there and really hurt or pinch. The skin on your legs is much tighter.

No, not really. I am pretty thin and I can hang it over my shoulder but I wouldn't call it comfortable. Pretty tight under the arm. And with any kind of jacket, etc. it would not work at all. Made for carrying by hand, I would say.

Hi, I wouldn't, particularly if you have soft/sensitive skin. Its very abrasive and affective at removing dead skin, but on sensitive areas of the body, you can be left feeling sore if you're not too careful.

I would say no. The heat in it is wonderfully subtle. I suppose you could make it hot enough to act like a pad for back pain, but the entire pad, or your side of it anyway, would all be just as hot.

I found this mat to be actually too painful to lay bare skin on for more than 2 minutes. When I put on a cotton tee shirt it did not seem effective or any less painful. Anything heavier that a cotton shirt seemed like you couldn't feel anything as all. So for me it doesn't work. I also use TENs machine for pain.

I would assume so, but since the sleeves don't have fingers, your fingers will still be exposed to scratches. I would guess they can stand up to rabbit scratches, but I'm not sure about rabbit bites... probably protect from punctures, but if a rabbit bit you, you might still feel the pressure of the bite. I've never dealt with rabbits before though, so don't take my word on it, I'm just making an educated guess.

Tanya, sorry to hear your son is hurt. Yes, I believe this would be helpful, yet if he took a hard shot I'm sure he would still feel it. As for moving in it I don't think he'd have a problem. You also could leave the two rib guards out of the back. Our son uses this for Lacrosse and feel it definitely adds more protection under his game pads.

I don't think so... but then again I don't do archery. It is a thin compression sleeve. It may be slick enough to help with abrasion, but I'm really just guessing.

If you really wanted to hurt somebody you probably wouldn't have a problem but it's not pointy that you're going to accidentally stick yourself if it's showing. It is rounded off a bit like a dull point but it would penetrate someone's eye socket or temple if you wanted it to lol. And it would really hurt stuck into someone's ribs. I'm not sure what else that's used for lol considering it's a tactical pen.

My concern would be the bacterial load if you had any pre-existing abrasions. I would certainly wear a latex glove underneath to protect from infection just in case.
