The Gloves I had from Blackhawk never did that to me....I guess i will get another pair and protect them like a mother hawk

My old Dye gloves did this up until recently, and I've worn them since I got them in late '03. However, my new Dye C8 gloves (just got them, as like I said, my old dye gloves are worn and getting ready to bite the dust) have YET to give me black hand. And my palms sweat ALOT.

Sometimes shorts and a t-shirt, mask and cup. I just want my "boys" to be safe! Last 2x's playing someone was shot in the crouch! Ouch!

I picked up a pair of 06 JT pants on ebay for about $20 shipped, have not had a chance to wear them yet!

I've had a pair of '06 dye gloves that gave me black hand... Now i have invert gloves and those have only stained my hands when they are new. I wash them after every game tho.

As for paintball specific clothing? Not really necessary, but some items are comfortable. (like the gloves) I know players that just wear some old clothes and a pair of rubber boots when they play, and it works for them. Personally i prefer to have specific clothing, and willing to pay for it. I wear dye '07 olive paintball pants and a oversized flecktarn bdu jacket when i go out to play in the woods. And i'm still using my first shield mask i got when i started playing.

Really? What colour did you have? I have the Grey/Black '06 Dye gloves and have not had any issues.

I am glad I am not the only one sporting Dye pants ('06) with a Flecktarn jacket.

You get the concealment of a great camo, and the comfort and protection of awesome pants.

Our team bought those pants up!!! Side pockets are the most overlooked part of paintball pants especially with woodball and scenario getting so big.Spend time on e-bay and other sites looking for deals they are always unloading last years gear I am for pb clothes but bdu pants are great too!!!

I've had Great Luck with My Proto 06 Pants. I've had them for 2 years and I'm the one that Slides, Crawls, Etc... The only thing I got is a little hole the size of a marble on the knee, and theres another layer under so you can't see what I have under. I wear jeans under my pants though. I have a jersey but they're useless... I just like the anti friction of the Air tank cover on the shoulder. Wear Paintball pants, That's all you need...

Just my 2 Cents,

Not really necessary, but please do wear some clothes. Paintball would probably be a much scarier sport if everyone played naked. Besides most people are not interested in seeing your doo-dads.

Not necessary - certainly a lot easier and more comfortable.

Really? I ripped the crotch part on mine on the first day! When I spread my legs just a little, it got too tight and ripped open...

Otherwise they're ok pants, though I whish the pockets were a little bigger..
