What is a Ghillie Suit?
In short, Ghillie Suit is a type of clothing meant to maximize the camouflage effect by combining a few key attributes. Mostly used by sharpshooters, a Ghillie suit uses natural colors to allow its user to blend in with the surroundings. On top of that, such a suit has to break up the silhouette to achieve “invisibility”. This is usually done by attaching vegetation.
However, despite a Ghillie suit combining those two features, it doesn’t cut it. Besides just color and silhouette, one should also keep in mind how loud the Ghillie is when moving, as well as whether the base material is breathable and durable at the same time.
How to make a Ghillie Suit?
There is no right answer. There are multiple options and approaches one can take when making a Ghillie Suit. Some may use burlap strips, whereas others will opt for raffia, etc. The best solution depends heavily on the current environment where Ghillie should blend in.
Despite many options, we strongly recommend everyone start with a very solid Ghillie suit base. The base means the clothing (Often hood + jacket + pants) that is then adjusted using local vegetation. You see, with the cheapest options out there, you mostly get just weak fabrics with wrong color corrections.
If you want a proper Ghillie suit, it will require some effort. Also, in most cases, this is not a one-time effort as nature colors change drastically throughout the year. For this reason, you might have to readjust your Ghillie every time you use it.
