The Chameleon ghillie suit is made by bushrag. This suit comes in a two different versions, a long jacket version and a jacket and pants version. Like the ultra light ghillie suit, it is important to note that the long jacket (1 pc) and the jacket and pants (2 pcs) versions are completely different.
Note: The internal construction on this suit is the exact same as the ultra light ghillie suit.
Jacket and Pants
This set is a synthetic ghillie suit that is constructed on a fine mesh shell. 3/4″ netting is attaching to the shell and synthetic jute is attached to the netting. There is a hood attached directly to the jacket. The jacket has a zippered front and has drawstrings at the collar and the waist. Using the drawstrings you can cinch the jacket tight into your body to prevent dirt or bugs from entering. The pants also come with drawstrings. There are no belt loops.
The inner mesh is somewhat comfortable but we would suggest a long sleeve t-shirt is the minimum clothing to be worn underneath it.
Long Jacket
The long jacket is a single piece pullover jacket that extends to the ground. The large difference between the long jacket and the jacket and pants is that there is no fine mesh shell underneath. The suit is completely built on 3/4″ netting. There is also no zipper at the front.
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.
Use
Because the long jacket drapes down to your toes, it is not a good suit for crawling or moving while crouched. The jacket and pants set is better if you intend to crawl or use low movements. Both versions are made with the same synthetic camoflage material. These suits are very light, ours measured in at 4 lbs in the XL.
Camo Material
Here is where the Chameleon suit shines and differs from any other suit out there. The Chameleon’s camoflage ability is created using over 700 synthetic colored leaves. When compared to other jute twine suits, this suit provides superior concealment in leafy woods or during fall where the ground is littered with leaves.
Rating
The Chameleon is in a different class due to its camo material. If you are in alot of heavy foliaged areas, we recommend this suit. We like the jacket and pants combination a little more than the long jacket.
I have this suit and its great. I need more leaves
Im gonna have to try this one during fall. I can look like a pile of leaves.

[...] The MOA Ghillie Suit is a one piece long jacket ghillie suit. It is built on 3/4″ netting. What sets this ghillie suit apart from the others is that the material attached to the netting is made of wide strips of polyester/nylon camouflage fabric. This suit looks like a cross between the Jackal and the Chameleon ghillie suit. [...]
