Millitary Ghillie Suits
A ghillie suit is a type of camouflage clothing designed to resemble the background environment such as foliage, snow or sand. Military personnel, police, hunters, and nature photographers may wear a ghillie suit to blend into their surroundings and conceal themselves from enemies or targets. The ghillie suit will move in the wind in the same way as surrounding foliage. Our ghillie suits are made with light and breathable material that allows a person to wear clothing underneath. These ghillie suits are very well-made and come in a variety of colors and sizes.
FAQ
What is a ghillie suit used for?
A ghillie suit is a full-body camouflage garment designed to help the wearer blend into their natural surroundings by mimicking foliage, terrain, or snow. Common users include hunters, military snipers, wildlife photographers, airsoft and paintball players, and outdoor enthusiasts. The loose, layered material breaks up the human silhouette, making the wearer much harder to spot.
Do you wear clothing underneath a ghillie suit?
Yes, ghillie suits are designed to be worn over your regular clothing. The suits at Army Surplus World are built to go on quickly over existing layers and allow easy access to the clothing underneath, making them practical for field use where you may need to adjust your gear or temperature regulation throughout the day.
How do I choose between a woodland, desert, and snow ghillie suit?
Choose your ghillie suit based on the environment where you will be using it. Woodland suits with green and brown tones are best for forests and dense brush. Desert suits match sandy, dry, or arid terrain. Snow ghillie suits are white and designed specifically for winter environments. Matching your suit to your surroundings is the most important factor in effective concealment.
Are there ghillie suits sized for kids at Army Surplus World?
Yes, Army Surplus World carries kids' ghillie suits in both woodland camo and desert camo styles. The children's versions feature the same 5-piece construction and 3D outline design as the adult suits, making them popular for hunting trips with parents, outdoor play, airsoft, and Halloween costumes. They are made from lightweight material suitable for younger wearers.
How should a ghillie suit be cleaned and maintained?
Ghillie suits should never be machine washed, as the loose threads and mesh construction can tangle, mat, or tear in a washing machine. Hand washing with a mild detergent and hanging to air dry is the recommended method. Avoid high heat from dryers or direct prolonged sun exposure, as this can degrade the synthetic fibers and reduce the suit's effectiveness over time.
