I am thinking of using this for paintball. How much would this constrict me during crouching or sprinting?

I love this for paintball and don't find it constricting at all. I play woodsball/magfed and I am able to move and crouch and still carry my gear securely. Be prepared to reinforce some of the cross-stitching on the strapping if you carry a lot of gear. Easy to do with a needle and thread or even some staples. The lightweight webbing that makes this vest wearable in warm weather doen't give some of the factory stitiching a lot to grab on to.

I think it would work great for paintball (I play paintball) because this vest is so adjustable you can ajust it for length and width so you can have it a bit tight if you want I use it for 3-gun competitions and I'm sprinting and jumping over things all the time during that. So I think it would work well for what you want.

I don't use mine as much as I should, but when I do use it I don't notice any limitations. But with that being said, I have never used it in an athletic situation (Plus you can always return it if you find it does limit you)

I'm glad you asked. I competed In USS, and later coached High School swimming, water polo, and a USS Swimming team. I bought this unit specifically to do workouts in the pool. It will take some adjusting/playing with the unit, but it will fit snugly and hold in place, under your goggle strap. I wouldn't try diving in with it though. It's amazing what it'll do for your workout intensity!

In my holster, it seems as though there are two levels of "grip". If you push the gun in as hard and far as it will go, it is a bit tight removing it. But I find that if I don't push it quite so far down it still maintains retention, but comes out a bit easier, without giving me the feeling it will fall out. I probably would not jog with it unless pushed down all the way.

Unfortunately I wouldnt be able to answer that directly, I cannot run, however, it is quite comfortable in all the positions I have tried and places I have carried.

My answer is based on my experience in the US Military and Scenario Paintball. The knuckles are hard yet flexible, as well as comfortable. I'd gladly purchase again!

I would not recommend using this in a confined space. Unless you can get out of area quickly! Would suggest using Gel or Foam type spray or a good stun gun inside vehicle. Hope this is helpful.

I'm 5'11" tall and 225lbs it hits me just below my knees. Theres also plenty of room for any movement or position you my be in. It is very light, I'm thinking less than 2lbs. Throw in some face paint or a facemask and gloves and you are well concealed. I also where drab colored clothing under it, because the mesh the leafy material is sewn to can be seen through.

I'm not sure how it would feel rubbing against your skin. I have mine clipped on my tactical belt. They are built very solid and are high quality.

Exactly the reason I bought it....recoil not a problem but I am over 6' with long arms. Rifle fits perfectly with the pad installed and I don't think I'll ever take it off. Recoil is lessened somewhat but not much.

I would not use this for paintball. There are specific face masks for paintball play at comparable prices that are much better suited for the rigors of paintball play!

Hi, I'm sorry it took so long to reply. In my opinion, I do not believe this would be effective in fending off an attacker. When you get hit by the paint balls, there is minimal pain, if any. Hope this helps!

If your helmet does not cover your ears. This mask covers your ears. You can use goggles, but to be honest they get in the way a little. I use this for airsoft with glasses and its great! For paintball it should be fine and really nice cause you can actually breathe instead of having a plastic sweat mask on all the time. So yes you can use it with helmet and goggles, and yes with paintball, its pretty sturdy.

This gun works great on co2, that is all I have run threw it. I'm new to paintball stuff and this was a gun for my son. I would think compressed air would function just as well being the same psi.

It covers your ears you could use it with goggles. I'm press sure it would fit under a helmet. It you buy the right helmet. It would be fine for paintball
