  • Patent number: 6745400
    Abstract: A one piece protective garment to be worn by children or adults while playing paintball has padding sewn into it at spots where injury is anticipated due to collision with other players and obstacles. There are also a belted waist, a collar, central zipper, and adjustable safety closures on the sleeves, pant legs, and ankles for adjusting the garment's fit. A removable padded bib covers the chest for extra protection. Mesh-like material on the armpits and chest ventilates the player to avoid overheating. Accessible compartments store accessories specific to the game of paintball. The garment's material is a camouflage design, or dark color, in order for the user to blend into the landscape and effectively hide from other players. The material is also water resistant and strong enough to resist normal wear and tear. A quilted pattern is aesthetically pleasing and increases the material's strength.
