Under Armour in airsoft.

Postby Alien_Hunter » Sun May 04, 2014 7:38 pm

I wore an under armor shirt today w/ no jacket or PC. Never. Again. I have so many blisters ;-; . It looks like chicken pox. This was in a fairly large CQB arena BTW.

Alright, somebody asked for pics. BRB. EDIT: it's like that all over. You could play connect the dots. Some of the ones on my stomach and chest bled. I played for a good 6 hours though.

So are you saying that it sucked being shot while wearing only an underarmor shirt?

Or are you saying that your body created blisters from the fabric?

BBs are responsible for the welts. Sport shirts offer almost NO protection against BBs. A basic T-shirt would've been 100x better because it doesn't cling to skin.

I understand that but you said blisters in your first post. A welt is not a blister. Hence the thinking that you had an increase in friction from the shirt cause blisters.

No, it was comfortable. Until I got shot. Then it hurt. Like getting shot by a 6 man squad when I was running around a corner.

You need less trigger happy friends. Or better ducking skills, I guess.

Haha, Rob, I was thinking the same thing, adding a plate carrier may be good idea as well.

Plate Carrier is next on my list. I'd like to keep the shirt without the pain.

Oh, you'll still get the pain. The plate carrier only covers so much. But it definately helps. Some dummy plates are also a good idea to throw in there. Not so much for the pain, but to know you've been hit. Sometimes you just don't feel it through the plate carrier, but the plates make a pretty distinct noise when hit. Being that I'm about half deaf, it helps. I also have a back injury, and the plates really seem to help with support as well.

I'm planning on buying this. I'm tall and skinny and this looks like it would fit nice and cover most of my low stomach.
