Ghillie Suits for Airsoft

jhofer · February 8th, 2006, 01:01

I run the site Ghillie Suits

I was wondering how many here use ghillie suits when playing airsoft. If so, what suit do you use? I would like to know what you use and why. I would appreciate any pictures of players in their suits!

Thank you
Justin

i dont have one yet but i think from the research that i have done on it that the colout scheem realy depends on what the suroundings you are playing in. i to am interested in this though. i am planing on making my own.

This is what I use, I actually have 2 right now, one I have used a BDU base, and the other is just a cover/veil that I use to just throw over. In the pics below I am using my woodland BDU jacket with the garnish attached.

that wouldn't happen to be a BF2 sniper pic you have there on the front page... because ghillie suits are all about tactics, and well... really BF2 is about the opposite of that.

I don't have any good pics of my suit but I made it myself. I haven't heard too many good things about the premanufactured suits out there. They usualy contain too many dark colours to be effective in my neck of the woods.

Hey Marcy, I can still see you.

In these pics yes, but when playing in the field I tend to dissapear for the entire day

the last pic was during one of the games Atreyu had set a bounty on me and Crash (at which we were playing as a sniper team...go figure) the pic was taken just before Crash mercied the bounty hunter who was aproaching my position (he didnt know I was there) it was quite a priceless moment, as I had COUGHATREYUCOUGH in my sights, and to see his face when Crash mercied him, was PRICELESS..and Ill leave the story at that.

On a sidenote, I am awaiting for my materials to arrive as im going to be making a full body suit that only covers the back head to toe. I will post pics, but I dont know how often ill be playing this year in the warm months.

I know there not the best pics, and it's still a work in progress, but here it is, 100% self made

So far it's just a ghillie cape, to cover me up when im on the ground. I have plans to ghillie up a boonie hat to add to the peice... however it seems I have lost my boonie hat :???:

I didnt think it was going to be affective, until someone actually tripped over me on the field haha :tup:

100% homemade.

my opinion. The best Ghillies are the Home Made ghillies.

Making your own ghillie accentuates its fonctionality as well as its effectiveness. I have sold many HomeMade ghillies (my design) and i know they are quite good, but i urge everyone to make their own instead of buying a pre-made one.

Of couse, that's the difference between someone who really believes in the way and who just wants to play once in a while.

Cheers,

Here are few pics of my personal suit i currently use. Those pics were made for lighting conditions adjustments.

edit: Hmmm Pbase.com are anal now... wierd. Can't link directly.

I tried making a ghillie suit, even fraying all the Burlap, my suggestion, for lot less time, and headaches, you best buy a premade one. I'm going to order one from Bushrag just because the rate it takes to tie string, fray etc I would be done in over a year...I can't wait that long.

Iceman · February 9th, 2006, 14:21

in my case, around 15hours tops from material to final product. Add a 24hours period for drying and its ready to ship.

Its a matter of having enought stuff to watch on tv

You'll never get a commercial Ghilie that will be as good as a hand made one, unless of course you buy a hand made comercial Ghillie, which is going to cost minimum $500 USD. typically you'll need two suits one for summer/spring, and one for fall/winter.

HAHAHA. Here kitty kitty!!! I took the middle ground and bought a kit. So its home made/ but not customed since its a kit. Putting twigs and whaterver in it adds to any ghillie to! http://www.davesarmysurplus.com/popup_image.php?pID=347 that is essentaily what it look like but i got woodland instead of that mossy oak that is shown. I got the kit for $110 with tax and a bottle of class "A" fire retardant (good idea to get). They say estimated time to complete the kit is 6.24 hours at 8 knots per minute. So four strands for every knot to make it one of every colour, which is impossible in my oppinion. Took me a little less than a week working on it at 11pm after i got home from work and caught a bite.

Now THAT'S a ghillie suit! Great job. I don't have photos of mine and after looking at yours I'm going to add more to it.
I started with a 2-piece "Mossy Oak" suit from www.wingsupply.com for around $60. Then I went to the arts & crafts store & bought a fake wreath, fake foilage & fabric materials. Looks good & it's lightweight & breathable -don't even know you're wearing it after a few minutes. Lots of fun to make your own -I highly suggest it. Also get a rifle rag or equivelant -there's nothing natural about a black rifle sticking out of a "bush."
