You might think that the last thing you need is one more thing to wear on the paintball field to make yourself even heavier or more noisy when you run; but an item that you can definitely use is a tactical paintball vest.

You can actually cut down on the noise and make yourself a little more stealth which is especially important when playing woodsball or sniper games. A tactical paintball vest like the Gen X Global is packed full of accessory holders that you can use.

This tactical paintball vest features front belt keepers, a tank holder attachment so you can swap out tanks on the field without having to stop the game or get caught by an opponent without the ability to mark them. A radio pouch as more and more teams are using communications instead of hand signals and pre-planned attacks to play their paintball games.

The should straps are designed to be adjustable as well as comfortable and this tactical paintball vest even comes standard with a place to put your water - as you know it is not only needed for hydration; if you get marked on your mask or goggles it can restore your visibility quickly.

You can have your paintball team name or your individual call sign emblazoned on your paintball vest and if you play often at a field there is even a place to put your id card so you can just flip it down on your way in the door. Another cool feature is the ability to hold two 140 round pods right on the vest. It is available in black or camo and will make a cool addition to any tactical paintball gear set.
