In nature, camouflage is the ultimate tool for predators while hunting. Even we have taken example of this practice, and applied our own tools for hunting. Camo simply allows the wearer to avoid detection by masking their presence. It is the ultimate deception, and in activities like paintball, it is the ultimate ally . Players can use it to move from place to place undetected, or to gather intelligence on enemy positions.
There are many different types of camo. Depending on the type of terrain you will be playing paintball in will determine what type best suits you. Woodland, desert, snow, and urban are all different types made to match different environments.
Camo has been used in paintball for as long as the sport has existed. Even while everyone was using pump or pistol style paintball markers, they still recognized the need for stealth during games. Today, with fully-automatic markers available for sale, and in use, the need for good camo has only increased. Now more than ever you cannot afford to make a mistake, especially now since most kids have high-end paintball guns like the Dye NT paintball gun.
