14 Inception Designs Headwrap We figure it’s not good for us to just come out and say “buy stuff from Inception Designs because it’s Simon Stevens and we said so.” But the more we think about it, we’re pretty much going to go with that. Simon Stevens, the creative mind behind some of the most technologically advanced and successful paintball markers and products in the game, continues to innovate and produce excellent paintball products like Go Pro camera mounts, multi-piece barrel kits and Autococker bodies with his own company, Inception Designs. While it may not be an incredible technological innovation, his attractive, well-made Inception head wraps offer comfortable, stylish forehead protection that look as good inside the net at a tournament as they do in the woods thanks to a Multicam camouflage pattern. Bottom line is, supporting a person who truly loves paintball and invested into the game by creating his own company and brand is a good thing, and so is a well-made Multicam headwrap, so we’re looking at it as a win-win. www.InceptionDesigns.com.com Valken Agility Elbow Pads Paintball has evolved into a game of athletic ability where those willing to sacrifice their bodies by sliding, diving and crawling point after point, game after game, weekend after weekend are those who will collect the most gold trophies.
