Review: Ultra-Light Ghillie Suit


The ultra light ghillie suit is made by bushrag. This suit comes in a two different types, a long jacket version and a jacket and pants version. It’s important to note that the long jacket (1 pc) and the jacket and pants (2 pcs) versions are completely different.
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.
Rating
Overall, we liked the ultra-light jacket and pants set over the long jacket.
