Camouflage: Ghillie Suits

One of the most common forms of clothing when playing paintball in the woods is camouflage. Camouflage helps break up the shape of your body and reduce the chance that you will be spotted by your opponent. A step beyond camouflage is a ghillie which breaks up your shape to an even higher level with blending your whole body into a consistent color scheme. A ghillie suit is usually colored to match your environment and textured to blend in while taking away the shape of your body.

The main things to look for in a ghillie suit are mobility and comfort. The Ghillie suit from Major Paintball and survival provides a very comfortable option. Coming in 3 pieces, a Hood, Jacket, and Pants the ghillie suit fits to your body unlike a poncho that just drapes over. Since the ghillie suit is worn like any other pair of pants and jacket mobility is not hindered at all. The jacket is well vented and will stay cool on even the hottest of summer days.

Included along with the suit is a camouflaged ghillie gun wrap to keep your marker covered as well as your body. Affordable and comfortable this ghillie suit is the number one choice in my opinion for woods ball player (A must for a sniper).
