Torso protection

It's not the "I hate the pain, it's unbearable" as I've been shot up lots of times.. It's more the 'hard to play other sport' problem.

Thanks for suggesting that top, but I'll just stick with the UBACS (I think it's called) top, with maybe a baselayer skin thing and a fleece, which is not as thick as a hoodie, so won't sweat me out like a pig.

Thanks.

 
just wear a chest rig or similar, covers the front and a top underneath, I wear a long sleeve top or helikon combat shirts depending on mood and a chest rig to store my mars bar (s), milky bar buttins, phone and car keys in and letter to the wife if something happens, still get hit between the gaps etc, right in the fat ​ meat, it hurts like normal but for seconds like anywhere else, different parts of the body respond differently, wearing a top lose/tight I don't think helps much from my experience as its a bb with 'power' hitting you, you're still gonna feel it....ok I do run into firefights, gotta get the most out of my game fee!

why not try some rugby under armour....dryfit material with padding in places...

i'll show you next time your at tuddenham, sometimes I'm colour blind!!! haha :)

Yeah, haha, made me laugh.

What I should of made this whole thread about is, "do you think this setup of clothing would be good" not "here's a chance to ruin me, and call me a ponce" lol.. Thinking - a UBACS top with a baselayer (under armour thing, but no padding) and a fleece, this way, I stay warm, I will definately feel my hits, and still get hurt. As I think that feeling of 'I know what it feels like to be hit' makes you play more sneaky.. Instead of running in like a banana out of its skin.. I probably won't invest in a PC..

Yeah, I don't know when I'll next be at a tuddenham game... Waiting for some money to get this SDiK for the vsr.

Otherwise you'll see a 5ft 2 inches dude with a ICS CXP.. Hopefully I'll see some guys at tuddenham next game... Potentially see you there, are you regularly playing there now? I remember you had your first match there like a month ago or something..

Thanks again.

 
nope, not regular, only that once after xmas, wife wont let me haha (all based around her work/kids and under 7s football training), then if all ok i get to go on a afternoon to UA or sunday to tudders! :)
