Confused on how to buy a Ghillie Suit?

If you’ve come to this page you are probably as confused as I was when I was purchasing my first ghillie suit.  All these different type of ghillie suits, all the different names, styles and sizes.

Well, I have probably seen and worn every ghillie suit out there.  I have certainly worn every ghillie suit that we sell in our store.

So hopefully this article will be clear up the confusion and help you choose the ghillie suit that you want.

One piece ghillie suits

Let’s start with the one piece ghillie suits out there.  One piece ghillies suits are long pullover suits with hoods.  These suits are built on a 3/4″ netting, not the micro mesh netting.  These suits have no zippers. so to put them on you have to pull the whole thing over your head.   They also do not have separate pants legs, so they are not designed for any type of crawling movements.  There are slits on both sides going from the hip to the ankles so you can walk and run in them.  Since these suits do not have an additional fine mesh platform underneath, they are somewhat cooler than their two piece counterparts.

The four suits below are all made on this platform.  The differences in the suit is the camoflage material that is tied to the netting.

So you can see now that if you like the Ghillie Flage, but would like a synthetic suit, you can just get the Ultra Light 1pc, are also called the Ultra Light Long Jacket.  The Bow Hunter suit is the same as the Ghillie Flage except that portions of the suit are jute free to enable the bow operation.  The Chameleon has synthetic camo leaves instead of thread.

These suits come in two sizes only.  Don’t be fooled into thinking there are more sizes.  It’s basically a tall and short size.

Two Piece Ghillie Suits

Two piece ghillie suits are jacket and pants combos.  The suits below are all built on the same jacket and pants platform.   The jacket features an attached hood and a fully zippered front with overlapping flap. The cuffs on the sleeves feature elastic band and the hood has a zip cords. The waist also has a draw string to cinch the suit to your body.  The pants feature drawstring ties at the waist and cord locks and elastic cuffs at the ankles.

The 3/4″ netting is sewn onto these fine mesh jacket and pants and the camoflage material is tied to the 3/4″ netting.

The three suits below are all built on this type of jacket and pants platform.  Again, the only difference amongst the three is the type of camoflage material attached to the jacket and pants.

I’ve included two pictures of the Ultra Light 2pc because many companies use both images and they are the same product. 

Again, there are only two sizes for these suits.  To give you an idea, I am 5′11″ 150lbs and a M/L is slightly baggy on me.  This is fine because you have to wear some clothes under these suits.

What about the other suits?

The Camosystems Jackal Suit is a two piece suit made on a very high quality lightweight jacket and pants.  This suit’s camoflage material is very different than the other suits.  It does not use any type of thread, but instead uses a combination of 3D netting and synthetic straps.

The Lightweight Ghillie Suit is a two piece suit based on a super soft micro mesh jacket and pants.  This material is so soft that you can wear it with just a t-shirt or even no shirt underneath.  Yes, it’s that soft!

The 4pc Ghillie Suit consists of a pullover jacket, pants with drawstring, a separate hood and a rifle wrap.  It is based on a 3/4″ netting like the one piece ghillie suits above.  There is no zippered front.

The Kids Ghillie Suit consists of a pullover jacket, pants with drawstring, a separate hood and a rifle wrap.  It is essentially a small version of the 4pc Ghillie Suit.

I hope this helps you select the right suit for you.  If you have any questions or would like questions answered about a particular suit, please ask it in the comment section.
