CRBN Paintball Guides

Short answer: The markings on your tank's neck or label tell you when it was made, how it was approved, and when it needs hydrostatic retesting. There is no single hydro schedule for all paintball tanks: the retest interval depends on the specific cylinder and its approval. A tank past its retest date may not be eligible for a fill, so check the date before game day, and if you're unsure what a marking means, ask a qualified cylinder testing facility instead of guessing.

Short answer: Fit beats everything. Heads come in different shapes and sizes, so there is no single best paintball goggle, and the best way to find yours is to go to a store and try on as many as you can. Beyond fit, look for a thermal anti-fog lens, a weight you can wear all day, coverage you're comfortable with, and a goggle you can hear and be heard through. Plan on lenses being consumable parts you'll replace over time.
