Really a big surprise
By Deal Seeker on Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2014
I have been wanting to buy ghillie suit for a while now. I had a suit that had some leaf like attachments and it worked fine and was really light and easy to carry. Unfortunately on one of my hunting trip it must have fallen out or got left behind so I found myself without any 3d camouflage for spring turkey. I was really thinking that the more expensive one was the way to go and had to be better given that it also is almost twice as heavy as this one. But the penny pincher in me decided that the added effectiveness it might afford was not really justified by how much more it cost. Also I had just purchased a lot of things for the house so my budget was pretty stretched. I read the negative reviews and thought Oh well perhaps they are things I will find to be negative but decided to give this suit a try. When it arrived it was stuffed in its carry bag inside out which I thought was a good idea to protect the strands of material. It only took a few moments to get everything out. It was more full than I thought it might be and it actually had 4 pieces so you get the gun cover too although I have no idea how you are supposed to attach it to a gun that allows you to operate your gun if you had too. I have yet to fluff it up yet but even without doing a thing there were no significant areas where the backing material was all that you saw. The head piece allows you too see well but mouth calls might be an issue as their is no simple way of getting to your mouth. I Thought it would be more like a boonie had with cammo hanging down but it really does not compare to a hat in any way. It will perform its function but the material that is used to go on your head looks to be scrap materials that they use up in making it. Not really the prettiest thing you will see but it works just fine. The snaps are kind of cheap plastic ones that I can see might be an issue. The few times I used the suit they have worked so maybe my concerns are unwarranted. No matter if they did break a few pieces of velcro and some clothing glue would fix the problem pretty quickly and easily. I can see that this lighter one is still going to be a little warm in hot weather so I still might go out an buy a leafy suit for hunting in the summer months. The also are much smaller and easier to carry. Oh I think some posts talked about material falling out. I did not see any and none came out as I tried to detangle the threads on the front part of the suit. I also did not notice that any fell out after using it for hunting. Ultimately, I cannot say that this is as good the more expensive suites. I would have to see them side by side. But I think this suit is excellent at this price. I usually carry my camo in and put it on very near where I plan to hunt so I cannot say if this would work if you are someone who likes to stalk hunt. It did pick up quite a few leaves and twigs from the area I where I hunted so moving through bushes and trees certainly would get you tangled at some point. I am 5'10 inches and 230# and the suit fit over a light jacket. Not sure it would work over a winter coat for me but it is big enough to fit most people I would think.

It works OK it does catch a lot of sticks thorns and leaves, but it is all right. Camouflage.
