Paintball Mask

Appearance
The Paintball mask is a full-face paintball mask with a cap-like visor and a clear lens protecting the wearer's eyes. The mask is primarily light gray, covered in angular patterns which end in arrows, and secured to the wearer's head by two crossed straps. These straps, as well as the pattern on the mask itself, have two colors: black, and the wearer's Ink color. On the forehead portion of the mask is a small stamp of the Splatoon version of the Forge logo.
