What kind of Tactical Equipment is needed to play airsoft?
Although it is not compulsory to wear tactical equipment during an airsoft game, it is still strongly suggested to wear it. Many of these are in effect personal safety equipment, others offer functions such as comfort, mobility, communication and storage capabilities. Still others have a scenic function and serve more to enhance the aesthetics of the game participant. Often these functions overlap, and so we have Tactical Clothing that, in addition to providing comfort and convenience, provides protection, carrying capacity and aesthetic enhancement of the uniform. Similarly, we might have a personal protective device, such as a helmet or plate carrier, whose main function is to protect against accidental impacts, shrapnel or bb. At the same time they extend the storage capacity and improve the player's aesthetics.
Despite the obvious difficulty in categorising it just demonstrated, we will try to categorise them according to their main function:
- Tactical clothing: Designed to provide comfort, mobility and protection. Made of durable materials and strong zips, they often feature multiple pockets and attachment points for additional equipment.
- Tactical boots: Durable, waterproof and breathable materials; they have non-slip soles and ankle support. They offer stability and protection on rough terrain.
- Tactical backpacks and bags: provide storage capacity for carrying essential equipment and accessories. They are designed with organised pockets, MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) attachment points for attaching additional accessories, and padded shoulder straps for comfort. There is also a category of backpacks and cases for airsoft guns used for carrying on the playing field. Even if they are not used during the game, these are designed with all the requirements of wearable tactical gear in mind.
- Personal protective equipment: includes airsoft helmets, plate carriers, protective goggles, protective masks and gloves. All these items offer protection against all possible injuries that may occur during an airsoft contest.
- Equipment and accessories:flashlights, radios, navigation devices, binoculars, extra magazines and magazine pouches and more. All tools designed to be durable, easy to use even in the harshest conditions.
Tactical gear is based on the principles of functionality, adaptability and durability. The items are developed to meet the specific needs of players, enabling them to perform their activities effectively and safely.
