What is a Ghillie Suit?

A ghillie suit is a form of camouflage that is used by the military. The way a ghillie suit camouflages the wearer is by blending the figure of the person wearing the suit. A ghillie suit is intended to look like heavy foilage. Most of the time a yowie suit is made out of netting and jute, and some people use twigs and leaves from the area you are in. Snipers might use a paintball ghillie suits to hide themselves from their enemy, allowing them to either set up a surprise attack.

Ghillie suits produced in five different colors, which are — Woodland, Mossy, Winter White, Leafy and Desert. You should take pictures of the area you intend to you use your yowie suit, and match them up against your computer in order to pick the best color for your area. Something you should be aware of is that if you have drastic change in season, you might need more than one ghillie suit as the colors will be change with the seasons. If you can’t decide which yowie suit you need than you should pick the color woodland, as it is known as the All Season color, and matches almost all foilage. You can easily see an advantage when using a ghillie suit for the first time in a airsoft match. There are also many other uses for Sniper Ghillie Suits , for instance I have a friend who uses them to take macro pictures of elephants.

If you want to build your own ghillie suit, you can buy a yowie suit kit which includes a net, jute string and easy to follow instructions to easily put it together. You also might want to purchase a matching ghillie gun wrap to go with your kit. By purchasing a ghillie suit kit you pay half of the retail price, however you do have about 3 to 5 hours of manual labor to the suit together before you can use it. This is how you are able to save so much money, because the manufacturer does not have to put it together for you, as all ghillie suits are hand made.
