Fashion Meets Function: Exploring Trends in Airsoft Gear & Merchandise
Beyond tactical performance, airsoft offers a unique opportunity for self-expression through kit choices and stylish accessories. From functional necessities to those little touches that let your personality shine, let’s dive into the latest trends shaping the world of airsoft gear – proving you can look sharp while engaging in those thrilling Kent skirmishes!
Camouflage with Attitude
Forget drab surplus patterns! Modern camouflage offers a dizzying array of colours and designs. Here’s what’s hot on the field:
- Urban Exploration: Greys, muted blues, and even geometric patterns blend seamlessly into the decaying industrial landscapes common in some Kent airsoft sites. Look sharp with ‘operator’ vibes!
- Woodland Warriors: Classic DPM, British MTP, and even revitalised “tiger stripe” patterns are coming back with tactical twists.
- Beyond Basic: Dare to be different with arid zone styles or even stylised camo patterns for themed events and competitive teams. Your imagination is the limit!
Function Doesn’t Mean Boring
- Modular Rigs and Chest Harnesses: Customizable, lightweight, and adaptable to your loadout needs. Think less “bulky soldier” and more “elite special forces”.
- Tactical Belts with a Twist: From laser-cut MOLLE platforms offering stability to classic cobra buckles for a touch of retro cool. The key to success is a personalised and secure loadout.
- Gloves & Boots That Pop: While protecting your extremities is sensible, a splash of colour on sturdy boots or tactical gloves adds personality without compromising safety on those rough Kent terrains.
The Devil’s in the Details – Accessories That Matter
- Limited Edition Patches: Morale patches, team emblems, and those funny in-jokes unique to the Kent airsoft community. Showcase your affiliations and sense of humour in equal measure.
- Customisable Eye Protection: Swappable lenses, eye-catching goggle frames, and even breathable mesh masks offer endless options to personalise your look and enhance on-field comfort.
- Gun Wraps & Charms: From bespoke camouflage wraps that protect your favourite replica to little trinkets that show dedication, these touches add an extra flair to your weapon.
“Airsoft Clothing in Kent”: Where Function Meets Fashion

- ×Gary Johnston07/02/24Had my first taste of airsoft at this site over 10years ago and have been coming back ever since. Mix of woodland, open ground and CQB, the site has been redeveloped massively, and the new safe zone is much closer to the game area. Highly recommend for both first timers and seasoned players alike!
- ×Trio Well-Being07/02/24As a total beginner I was slightly unsure about what to expect from playing, but everyone at Ace made me feel really welcome. The games were fun, challenging and different every time. I had a great time! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a friendly and fun place to play
- ×Ruth Cattorini (Delta C)05/11/23This is one heck of a great place to go to. I have been here a couple of times already. The site is incredibly organized and the events are well planned out for a great day with all to enjoy as a team. I experienced my first time here a few days before my wedding at it was one of my best send offs! A great memory to last a lifetime, I will never forget (in a good way). I recommend Ace to everyone I know, it's just fantastic! Looking forward to the next event 🙂
- ×Rob Smith05/06/23Well run site, games are usually interesting bar one (i personally find the border control one a bit boring and easy to cheat) Only one criticism is a new change: The safe zone is now in the game zone, which has caused there to be quite the bottle neck on that side of the site. It does create decent firefights but it's literally within touching distance of the safe zone. So then the safe zone gets lit up with bb's and they can either go over the top, hit the trees and fall down onto people within the safe zone. Go through the holes in the metal panelling or go through the roof section where it looks like there are gaps. Which makes the safe zone.. a bit more dangerous. Don't get me wrong, they haven't had an issues with it yet but i can see it happening sometime in the future. It's a decent place for it but i think it would be better if some extra counter measures were put into place to ensure bb projectiles don't enter it. To reiterate: very good site overall, good gameplay, awesome CQB area, nice differentiation in distances and cover options. Definitely recommend coming but i think the safe zone needs some extra protection added to stop bb's potentially coming into it.
- ×1066Kitchen05/02/23Went to ACE combat yesterday and had the best time, it was for my sons 13th birthday and he took a friend as well as myself. I cannot fault the day everyone is very happy and friendly to see you and overall a good bunch. Heath and safely is paramount and the short safety briefing is very good. This adventure is mostly in a large forest with lots of props to give you cover and hide behind. The shots to the body isn’t as bad as you think, but to keep the level of sting down we’re a long sleeved top. Eye and head protective equipment is supplied, as well as the rifle and ammo. The ammo amount is sufficient and we had some left over but obviously if you are using fully automatic John Rambo Style you can get threw it quite quickly. 10/10 for the day and would do it again for sure
- ×Mat Olson05/02/22I've been to site twice now. It's a cracking site the marshals are super helpful with what ever you need. Great game modes, they listen to advice about games and adjust them.. I've got to say really impressed with adjustment. Also there man of the match 👏 is a good idea... not only saying this as may have won it 😉 but giving the guys or gals being weather your new or a vet a free walk on is also one of the best ideas I've ever seen on a site.. Cant fault ace at all. Will deffo recommend and also be going back soon in the future... Cheers guys and gals for everything you got it rocking 😎
- ×Tom Jaggard05/02/21I'm proud to say that Ace Combat is one of the best sites I have ever been to. I have continued to visit the site of the past 10ish years and there is good reason for it. I've visited sites all over the UK, for both one offs and repeated visits, and Ace Combat has always stood out as being the most professional, friendly and well run sites I have had experience with. The site itself is very unique too, with both challenging woodland areas and open ground fields. They're always bring new and innovative ideas to their games to keep things exciting. If I were to think of a criticism, the only thing I could think of would be the safety briefing goes on a bit, however it's understandable with the amount of natural hazards in the field, such as craters and car wreckage. There is also always a sense of community at the site, and that isn't the classic "I'm friends with the marshal so I don't take hits" mentality! Newcomers are always welcome and are guaranteed to have a good time. Thank you Ace Combat, don't stop being awesome 👍×Simon Matthews05/02/21Excellent team and cannot fault the organisers, water tight safety, excellent games. My only issue is it seemed to attract alot of gungho testosterone types with a few moaners. This lets the game down a little. No hit calling etc. I'm not sure how to combat this, but it did marr the day a little. Otherwise will be going back!
- ×John Ashman05/02/20Me and a few buddies from work went to Ace for the first time today and from the get go all the staff where absolutely amazing all jumping in with the banter between groups aswell as ensuring safety and fair game is monitored at all times. The food was just what we needed after a windy muddy morning and finished the day off with 2 final longer games had an absolute blast of a time today will definitely be returning again in the very near future. Hats of the Chris and the team
- ×Luke Chatfield05/02/19Ace is a very great airsoft site for all types of players, the games are very mixed from week to week and game play is very mixed would recommend this site to friends and is family friend if you do decide to bring little ones with you staff and players are very friendly and marshal are also good out in the field!!
