Ghillie Ponchos

Sometimes a Ghillie Poncho is a better fit than a full complete ghillie suit.  The main benefit of a ghillie poncho the lack of leg openings or material below the torso.  Because of this a poncho is very easy to deploy in the field.

Today's lightweight synthetic ghillie ponchos can be rolled up and stored in very small compact rucksacks.  This allows the soldier to move quickly unencumbered in fatigues.  When the situation arises they can quickly deploy the ghillie poncho without stepping through pant legs.
