Sniper Ghillie Suit
The sniper ghillie suit is specially designed to
deal with the rigors of sniper tactics. The special features on
the sniper suits will really make a difference during a stalk.
What features to look for.
1. Heavy duty sniper ghillie suits are usually built
on a pair of bdu's(battle dress uniforms)or similar material. This
eliminates the need for netting, so the jute or burlap can be sewn
directly on, giving you even distribution of the camouflage material.
For paintball and airsoft this heavy suit is not necessary.
2. As in the light duty sniper
ghillie suit, the front can be left bare. This way, you wont
get snagged by vegetation on those long sniper crawls.
3. Crawling will also cause the sleeve of a suit
to pull up over your arms, this can be prevented with thumb loops
that keep the sleeves where they should be; protecting your arms!
4. The hood can simply be a netting with jute or
burlap tied on and then sewn to the jacket, as shown in the military
style sniper
ghillie suit. This design will keep you cooler by allowing the
wind to pass through, and will also allow for better hearing.
5. Last point. Using velcro instead of buttons to
close the jacket will make your crawl much more comfortable.
