To test the product I did something I had never done before. I put on the suit , went out to the Arizona Combat Games test site and let my gunsmith John Rice shoot at me. I can tell you it is spooky just standing there with no way to shoot back. He shot some twenty rounds, most hitting me somewhere. One or two even hit the chest. None of them stung. The suit works as advertised.

Designed as a protective exoskeleton, the Field Armor suits deliver maximum protection for the legs, knees, male areas, chest, arms, hands and the neck while allowing compete range of motion at all the joints. Suits snap and zip close and are relatively simple to pull on and off, even over layers of clothing. Suits are even available in matching hood designs.

Do you enjoy the slight pain of a paintball hit and the resulting welt? Some people do. For the rest of us, Field Armor makes the protective exoskeleton, a durable, lightweight, weather resistant suit for new players and seasoned pros alike. The suit is padded everywhere it matters and even has a walkie talkie pouch, squeegee holder, front zippered pockets and plenty of pod holders. The chest protector includes inside mesh ventilation and a flap-over adjustment snap so that players can open the suit for added ventilation between games.

We've seen many paintball protective armor products over the years, but this one tops them all, featuring an all in one design, the Field Armor exoskeleton covers all the bases. It even comes accessorized with all the valued essentials, squeegee holder, pod holders, walkie-talkie pouch and front zippered pockets. Besides being well armored and acessorized, it also becomes body contouring with a few tugs on a few well postioned straps.

Now along comes Field Armor. These folks manufacture special suits for paintball, in woodland, ghillie and Swat black. They also make a two piece that offers the same protection but in a jacket and pant set up. Field Armor is protective, comfortable to wear(except in extreme heat), and convenient. You can take it on and off easily at the field, changing to / from street clothes so you don't have to scare the clerk at the 7/11.

Field Armor has become a staple name for protective gear in paintball. Instead of having to purchase all the various components for paintball wear (jersey, pack and individual pieces of protective equipment) players can make one purchase and get all they need to hit the field running. For the padding and accessories you get in one exoskeleton it would cost $339.00 if purchased separately.

Field Armor's protective exoskeleton is paintballs only premier body armor. It comes in an assortment of styles and prints. Bonus features not found on other types of armor include a list of well placed accessories. Field Armor takes the pain out of paintball by using lightweight water repellant polymers with just the right thickness to prevent even the most nastiest bruise.

The kit is very comfortable. With adjustment straps at many strategic spots, the lightweight jumpsuit tightens up to a form-fitting camo outfit.
You can and will run, crawl, jump, and play some real paintball wearing this suit. Designed to be resilient but with comfort and protection in mind, these suits are truly awesome. If you want to lower your bruise count, the Field Armor suit is the best way to be protected short of observing the action from the parking lot.

Field Armor launches an all in one body armor complete with a full line of accessories. They sport several styles just right for every type of player and body type. Their new 3-D leaf suit is the most advanced and protected ghillie suit on the market and is perfect for crawling, kneeling and snipering.

SSsh. Want to hear a secret? We think getting nipped on the aureole by a gel capsule traveling at 300FPS hurts like hell. And while we may get up, brush ourselves down and act like men, we're crying inside. Let us be the first to stand up and say that wearing nought but a string vest in sub zero temperatures only proves your own stupidity, just as playing XBall in a thong doesn't make you look any tougher. Wear your padding with pride and laugh at all the welt ridden Neanderthals who have yet to bump their thick skulls up against the evolutionary wonder that is protective clothing.

Stylish and armored, the exoskeleton packs quite a punch. This armored beauty turns the oridinary into the extra ordinary. The padded knees and forearms helped our man crawl out of an ambush unscathed. Putting the armor to the test, we attacked head on, Angel blazing. The result, paint and shell everywhere but no injuries. A job well done.

Built into it are many player-minded features, including a perfectly placed walkie-talkie pocket with a properly placed hole for a remote headset wire; five guppy holders sewn right into the suit; a stick squeegee holder; two zippered front pockets so you won't lose your keys, cell phone, or Blackberry after you've accessed the Internet from the new PMI Wi-Fi-enabled bunkers; padded neck protection; and built in crotch protection (mmm, soft pad down there). All this weighs less than 4 pounds and is really comfy. Balls DO break on the suit so it's not cheating

Paintball field owners in search of the most efficient and profitable manner in which to protect their players, and even players in search of the best way to protect themselves while on the field of play have a new choice in paintball body protection. Field Armor suits are high quality, lightweight suits strengthened by built-in layers of protection designed to take the "pain" out of paintball for new and old players alike.

SThe suit itself has my almost unreserved approval. This would not be an article if I did not mention costs. To buy protective gear that only comes close but falls short will cost even more then purchasing the exoskeleton. Let me illustrate this by listing some prices I took from an internet discount paintball dealer, known for its competitive pricing(888paintball). Neck protector $8; jersey $45 ; pants $55 ; sliding shorts $35 ; elbow pads $30 ; knee/shin pads $40 ; chest protector $38 ; gloves $30 ; total $281. Comparing, then, Field Armor at $179 is very competitive pricing. .

Field Armor's padded suits are the sliced bread of the body-shielding
world. But while wearing the Exoskeleton will turn you into a Panzer style brick out house, you won't be needing any caterpillar treads to trundle through the woods. Despite the suit's comprehensive coverage, it's not difficult to move around once everything is strapped in place. It's highly flexible and a good deal lighter than wearing the chain mail you borrowed off your friend who only answers to the name 'Legolas'. In fact, weight varies from 2.75lbs for the small up to 3.75lbs for the large two-piece.

The Exoskeleton fends off attacks aimed towards all vulnerable body parts. Our personal highlights are buttox, crotch and inner thigh protection; none of which can be highly prized enough. Nor for that matter can the dual kidney
protectors, unless you're a fan of pissing blood – and you never know when they might come in handy on the black market. Since rain and all manner of other hateful elements are bound to make an appearance during any woods game, the Exoskeleton is made from a special polymer that is not only light, but also water repellent and non shrinking. Should the sun decide to put in a rare appearance, then thankfully this material is also breathable and the suit is fitted with mesh ventilation. You could even save yourself some money on a pack, as the two-piece suit has five pod holders incorporated into the design.

You can use this for all players. For example, when 5 or 10 man teams are practicing for tournaments and are commited to certain positions over and over again without proper protection these players could face injuries and massive bruises. Although Field Armor exoskeletons do not fall within the bounds of most tournament rules, you can still use them in preparation of that big game.

For some people the moment they hear about paintball they can’t wait to play. For others there’s no way they are going to ever try “that crazy war game.” There is a third group of people though, those who think the idea of the game is fun and exciting, but are afraid of getting hurt by a paintball hit. For that group of potential players, the Field Armor Exoskeleton may be the ticket to get into the game.
Players who have been active on the Internet since the early 1990s, may remember the discussions of mouse-pad armor from the rec.sport.paintball newsgroup. Field Armor takes that concept to a level of professional construction in their exoskeleton.
