This line of ULTRA-LIGHT camouflage is more comfortable and  just as effective as a traditional ghillie suit. Even if comforts not important to you,  effectiveness surely is. The Ultra-light ghillie suits equaled or surpassed burlap/jute ghillies in every category when tested by the US Army.The synthetic string material cuts the weight of these suits to 3.5 pounds. These new suits are scentless, hand-washable, non-allergenic, fire, water, and mildew resistant. Drawstring pants. They come in a  long jacket style or in jacket or pants separates.
