"....this will be the best money you'll spend on a camouflage item that you will
have at hand for all your hunting needs. Dubbed the Mini Ghillie suit it has short sleeves and is available in
four patterns: Mossy Oak, Realtree, Four seasons safari and Desert. The idea is that this suit easily slips over existing
clothing to give a very effective instant camouflage effect whilst not impeding the shooter in any way.
It is in one-piece, incorporating both the torso and hood sections and is made from a lightweight machine woven mesh
material. This is very strong and honeycomb in construction, really allowing the air to flow around the shooter making
it comfortable in use. To this is sewn a series of parallel cotton fabric strips that are eight inches in length and
split down the middle. As they sit on top of each other and hang between the folds, the overall effect is that of being
ragged and torn, perfect for disguising the body form.
My Ghillie suit was Mossy oak colour and with the jumble of colours was a great match to woodland and hillsides around
my home. Easily slipped on, the suit is fastened via two quick detachable plastic buckles and the hood can be brought
forward to cover the face and neck area.
Because of the woven-in fabric strands, vision is not that badly obscured, although you may want to trim it to your own
requirements. The sleeves are indeed short, as is the torso section. I am 6 foot 2 inches tall and its 24 inch length
comes half way down my back, but that's the point - ease of mobility and ample coverage is the name of the game with this
suit. In fact with all the tassels hanging down the suit it appears a lot longer than it is. When in use you will
most probably be in a sitting position or lying facing the quarry and so there is more than enough coverage.
Another great benefit is that the suit conveniently packs down into a roll with its own retaining straps.
As I said, great value, and I have used it to great effect both for shooting and photographing roe and foxes;
my three year old son also likes scaring his 1 year old brother when he wears it."
