"Hello my name is Orestes Guada for Expert Village. Today we are going to talk about paintball equipment. These are the paintball gloves. They got a little foam on top so they protect you, so if you get bunkered or shot from real close, you don't have one of these marks, because this happens without gloves. They are pretty nice, they slide in, slide in, strap them in ,in the back. The reason I cut these fingers is from when I'm holding the gun like this, like if these would stretch for my fingers. My fingers move fast without the gloves there, so I cut them so I could shoot faster. They protect you from getting any rug burn or anything, because when people slide on the field they always put their hands down to pick themselves up. Like I have seen people get rug burns here on the side of their hand, all here because they are playing on rugs. The gloves are really good."
