Review: Ghillie Flage Suit

The ghillie flage suit is a one piece full ghillie suit made from 1″ netting.  This suit is made of natural jute and is a one piece suit.  It has no front openings so you put it on as you would put on a poncho.  This suit comes with a substantial amount of natural jute so it is fairly heavy.   The jute is knotted directly onto the netting.

Use

The one piece design makes it a little more difficult to move around in.  Because it is essentially a long coat you may have to hike up the bottom of it to run or even walk.  Because it drapes down to your toes, it is not a good suit for crawling or moving while crouched.  However, because of its bulk and material, the ghillie flage suit offers the great camouflage ability.

The netting is not very comfortable when draped directly on the skin or a t-shirt.  We suggest that this suit be worn over a sweatshirt at a minimum.

Sizes

The ghille flage comes in two sizes, M/L and XL/XXL.  The M/L fits people who are 6′0″ and under, while the XL/XXL is for anyone taller than 6 ft.  If you are shorter than 6′0″ but fairly heavy, you may want to get the XL/XXL and then shorter the bottom of the suit.

Rating

When it comes to ghillie suits, 1 piece vs 2 pieces is a personal preference.  If you opt to go with a one piece suit and want natural jute, the ghillie flage suit is the one to get for maximum coverage.

Review: Kids Ghillie Suits

The kids ghillie suit is made by Swiss Link.  The kids ghillie suit is a 4 piece suit.  It consists of a ghillie hood, ghillie jacket, ghillie pants and a ghillie rifle wrap.  It comes in our size and fits kids from ages 8-14.

Jacket & Pants

The jacket and pants are made out of a 1″ square netting.  It is basically a sweater and pants made from netting.  Synthetic thread is tied to the netting to make the base of the ghillie suit.  The hood is a completely separate piece and also made of netting with synthetic thread tied to it.

Rifle Wrap

The rifle wrap is made of an elastic band with synthetic thread tied to it.

Sizing

The kids ghillie suit can fit a wide range of sizes.  It will fit kids from ages 8 to 14, the maximum height that it fits is probably 5′8″.  Its minimum height is about 5′0″.  Because the suit is made from netting it can be easily resized.  This suit must be worn over clothing so the suit can be slightly larger.

The pants are fairly large and come with a drawstring to fit all waist sizes.  If your child is taller than 5′8″ its probably better to get an adult medium suit.

Review: Lightweight Ghillie Suit

lightweight ghillie suit

This suit is a hooded jacket and pants combination suit.  It comes in two patterns, woodland (aka. all season) and mossy and three sizes (M, L & XL).

Jacket and Pants

The inner shell of this suit consists of the softest mesh material we’ve seen for a ghillie suit.  It is truly a comfortable suit to wear.  3/4″ netting is sewn onto the mesh and synthetic threads are attached to the netting.  This suit can be worn directly over a t-shirt and the synthetic thread is so soft that you can bunch up the suit and use it as a pillow.

The jacket has drawcords around the hood and waist to cinch the suit tight.  The pants has a drawcord at the waist and ankles.  The pants also has belt loops!  This is a rarity for ghillie suits these days.

Color Patterns

The color and pattern of this suit is very different than all the other ones out there.  The woodland is very green when compared to the other suits.  The mossy pattern is unlike any other suit out there.  Where Bushrag mossy is green/black, the mossy on this suit is more black,tan and olive.  While it looks very odd when you open up the package.  In the field, the mossy color does work very well.

We’ve found that the stock photos of the mossy may seem misleading because it looks like an all tan suit.  GhillieSuitClothing.com has very good pictures of this suit in both patterns here:

Rating

This is one of the best ghillie suits out there for the money.  It would be a toss up between this suit and the Ultralight Ghillie Suit by bushrag, but the belt loops and its extra softness make us recommend this suit over the other.
