this is not for paintball its for street luge. your wrists can't move and your palms are covered by hard plastic. i give it a 3/5 because i gave them to my brother for long-boarding and he found them a bit on the thin side in terms of pavement sliding protection. the quality is quite bad but for that low price its expected. these are useless to hold a paintball gun with but hey, I didn't lose much.
