Ghillie Suit - What You Should Consider When Shopping For A Ghillie Suit

By: Jim Olivero SMS Home | Shopping-and-Products | Fashion-Style


Ghillie suits come down to three simple attributes: size, weight, and material. Choosing the right type of ghillie suit is more than just selecting the right size or material. It also depends on what activities do you need your ghillie suit for?

Ghillie suits were originally developed by Scottish gamekeepers as a portable hunting blind, so that hunters could blend into the surroundings to hunt and not be seen by wild game. Also known as yowie suit, ghillie suits are an important maneuvering implement in training as well as actual combat around the world.

Different Ghillie Suits & Kits

The market for Ghillie suits and kits has evolved in such a manner that one can actually get a different ghillie suit and kits for different activities or sports.

Sniper Ghillie Suit:

Designed for all possible tracking activities. In common with all types of Ghillie wear, the construction is heavy duty and durable with quick opening and closing Velcro zips.

Airsoft Ghillie Suit:

Designed for Airsoft. As with most sporting activities, the wearing gear is comfortable, effective with good reinforcement on the elbows and knees of the jacket and pants.

Paintball Ghillie Suit:

As the name implies, it is designed for the popular American paintball game.

Bug-Proof Ghillie Suit:

The Most common type of ghillie suit. Consists of a pair of trousers and a jacket both constructed out of bug-proof cloth or mesh.

Ghillie Suit Kits:

An important add-on item for sports that require different types of Ghillie Suits. Versions are available for various sports but building one or assembling a comfortable Ghillie Suit Kit gives a much more satisfying experience and this can be personalized to one's taste.

Standard Feature You Should Look For

Fire Retardant - It is vital that you treat your ghillie suit with fire retardant before use. Alternatively look to buy a Ghillie that is already certified as fire retardant.

Lightweight - Temperatures inside a Ghillie suit while under activity can reach over 50 Degrees Celsius which are not only uncomfortable but potentially dangerous. The best quality Ghillies available weight in at only 3lbs!

Quality Netting Materials - Your Ghillie must have quality netting materials if it is to remain effectively customizable. The best Ghillie suits come with 3/4" netting that is both proofed against water and bugs. Make sure that your netting does not let you down.
