Interesting - the new paintball protective clothing from Bunkerkings is probably the most delicate and lightest padding we have seen in paintball sports!
Knee and elbow pads as well as slide shorts and chest protectors were provided - with the sole aim of giving the player a completely new wearing comfort
All facts at a glance:
- thin and very light padding
- maximum mobility
- hardly noticeable and guaranteed not hot
A very light, thin padding was used for the compression pads. In order to protect knees and elbows optimally, many small padded points were used.
In other words, there is no continuous padding, which sometimes restricts your movement, rather the knee and elbow pads are more like stockings with many individual ones Upholstery covered.
Because both the stocking and the padding were kept very thin, the savers are very noticeable and can be worn almost unnoticed.
As light as the paddings are, I do question their longevity when gaming hard. At this point, however, I trust Bunkerkings who usually know what they are doing and am already looking forward to the feedback from the paintball players - so far I have not received any feedback, I consider this to be good feedback!
Personally, I think the BK Compression Pads are perfect for two types of players - which couldn't be more opposite:
The Athlete – if you are a well-trained front player, basically a muscle from head to toe and a flyweight, which allows you to slide gently into the bunker like a piece of paper - then the BK schooner is world class you saved on weight and padding but gained a lot in terms of mobility and comfort.
The field howitzer - you are the classic back player who takes up position in the rearmost bunkers and first opens up the generous barrage.
You don't move quickly or with crazy moves across the field, a lot more you start moving in a controlled manner when you can no longer find any worthwhile targets from a distance.
You actually only wear your padding on your arms and legs because it's considered good manners, you tend to have a bouncer when you kneel down ground isn't as hard or the hits don't twirl as much.
The Bunker Kings paddings are not suitable for the player who doesn't glide gently into cover but rather hits there like a bomb - I personally find the padding too thin for that 😉
Otherwise, this super light and sporty paintball protective clothing is a great success - a really sporty masterpiece!
