Often newcomers in airsoft ask the question: "What to take with you and what to wear on the game?". Those who are not-for-profit players have to choose and buy all the equipment themselves. If you have already been lucky enough to play a few games and Airsoft has liked, then you already know that this hobby is not cheap. But you can always find an alternative for those who are not ready to shell out a large sum for expensive outfits.
In order to understand what should be clothes for the game of airsoft, it is enough to refer to the first few paragraphs of the rules of this hobby. And these rules say that civilian clothes on the game are allowed only in cases directly provided by the canvas (script). Clothing should be at least a bit like military camouflage. Unlike those years when airsoft only began to gain popularity in the CIS countries, today players are trying to purchase if not elite, inexpensive and high-quality equipment and "kamok" (camouflage).
The minimum set of clothes for airsoft game consists of:
• Jackets or tunic;
• Stockings;
• Military footwear;
• Headdress;
• Tactical gloves;
Military tunic and trousers can be purchased as one set (for example, camouflage suit of the Twilight - Chameleon), and separately. Often trousers military pants have a loose cut. A striking example of such pants is the trousers ACU - Chameleon (A-Tacs FG) or trousers "Trend M-65" - Zenkis made of non-blowing fabric. And if we talk about the quality of materials from which camouflage can be made, the fabric and quality of tailoring budgetary options will allow you to play one season. In order not to return to the issue of buying a new camouflage at the beginning of the next game season, it is better to immediately buy a better one - from reinforced fabric. Please note that camouflage clothing is made from both cotton fabric and synthetic materials. The first option is much cheaper, more convenient and warmer, but it easily tears and fades. Synthetics do not practically allow the body to "breathe", but it is not very vulnerable to abrasion and other mechanical damages. Today, in order to avoid premature wear and tear, army rifle clothing began to use rip-stop technology. For example, Warrior Rip-Stop-Mil-tec military trousers are made with this technology and have additional rubber lining.
Pay attention also to the fact that the camouflage had a sufficient number of internal and patch pockets, and the pockets themselves were fastened either to the snake or using Velcro Velcro.
There are also rare types of camouflage, the price of which is more than $ 100. This "kamok" is quite specific and it is not so easy to get it, because in real combat conditions it is used by special services fighters.
When choosing a camouflage, you must immediately decide on its color and cut. If you plan to be a lone player, then you are free to choose military clothing for your own taste. But if you join one of the teams that usually model the army of one of the countries of the world or an international power bloc, you will have to acquire the same command camouflage.
Footwear. Long gone are the days when in airsoft it was possible to play in sneakers or sneakers. Such players were jokingly called "Pokemon". Because airsoft games are held in forests, fields and construction sites, then such shoes will not only quickly deteriorate, but also will not protect the legs from injuries.
It is best for such purposes to buy army or trekkingovye boots. If you plan to practice air sports not only in the summer, but also in the cold season, using one pair of shoes, then take light-weight boots (for example, tactical tacks Desert Fox - Meindl) one size larger. In winter, this will put the shoes on a warm sock. If the money allows, it is best to buy a few pairs of boots: light for summer games, warmed for winter (for airsoft in winter, tactical boots with lightning - Mil-tec (A-TACS FG) with tinsulite finish) and pair hydrophobic birch - for playing in wet weather. In wet weather, the TAKTIK-S tactical battles U1-570 - Zenkis proved to be excellent in the field. In such shoes, the feet will always be comfortable even in harsh conditions.
Headdress. This is an optional item of equipment, but a tactical baseball cap is able to provide additional head protection. Protection not only from the plastic balls of the enemy, but also from other mechanical damages in the game locations. In winter, the hat or balaclava will protect the head from frost.
Tactical gloves. As well as the headdress, gloves are not an indispensable part of the equipment, but they are the ones that can protect your fingers not only from frost, but also from balls. After wearing tactical gloves, when moving crawling you can be sure that your hands are reliably protected from abrasions. An excellent example of such tactical leather gloves are Mil-tec with damper inserts.
As in real combat conditions, the "unloading" (unloading waistcoat) will be very helpful in striking games. This waistcoat is literally stuffed with a lot of
