I've been using this ghillie for a month, and I've used it twice during airsoft as a sniper with a bolt-action rifle. I think the product is geared toward me, but it's not perfect—it requires modifications. The fibers are too long and sewn too sparsely, so they catch everything easily. The maps are also of poor quality—after the first use, one element fell off. The advantage is the breathable mesh material, so you don't overheat in it too much. The large size allows you to put the ghillie over all your gear, regardless of how many clothing layers you wear. You can also put it over a vest, chest rig, or backpack. Overall, it's a good base, but it needs improvement to be more comfortable to use.

Ghillie Suit type camouflage set, consisting of pants , jacket, headgear and weapon camouflage tape, on which randomly distributed pieces of yarn of different lengths and shades have been sewn. Appropriately matched to the surrounding scenery, it significantly hinders the detection of a masked person.
The whole garment has been sewn on a base of airy polyester mesh, which allows the camouflage outfit to be worn over a T-shirt or shirt without the need to wear a uniform sweatshirt, which in the case of ASG games in the summer season improves the player's thermal comfort.
The free-fall elements perfectly mask the human silhouette with its, instantly recognizable, elements of the torso with limbs and the head with a bright spot of the face. Ghillie enriched with elements from the environment (grasses, ferns, etc.) make the person wearing it completely invisible. In order to make it more difficult to detect the observer/shooter, gun camouflage tape was added to the set.
Ghillie Suit is a camouflage outfit used mainly by sharpshooters and scouts. In the Armed Forces of all countries, the preparation of a camouflage suit is part of the tactical training of sharpshooters.
Ghillie can camouflage in wooded, desert, snowy and other terrain as needed. It is currently used by armies around the world, both by sharpshooters and scouts. Thanks to its better camouflage properties, it is ideal for slower-moving, but definitely closer approaches.
The set consists of 4 parts:
- hat,
- jacket,
- pants,
- weapon camouflage tape.
In addition, the kit includes tie-down straps and a carrying bag.

Overall, the ghillie is very good and fulfills its purpose. The only downside is the smell, probably from some coating. When walking in the pants in the forest, the threads easily catch on things and fall off. However, when it comes to camouflage—excellent, it's hard to spot a person even from a close distance.

It performs great in the snow during winter
-
For this price, the workmanship is really very good.
-
Good suit, provides very good camouflage, you can often surprise people passing by who don't even notice someone is lying there. I recommend it.
-
The outfit is very cool, but I must admit that in the summer you can't stand it for more than five minutes.
-
Very good product. At first, it sheds some threads, but overall I recommend it!
-
The product is very well made, works well, but the threads could be sewn more frequently.
-
It camouflages perfectly—many airsoft players are surprised. As a sniper in airsoft, I notice only one flaw: the fibers break off or get caught on Velcro. Other than that, everything is fine.
-
Good suit. At first it loses some threads, but you can refill them or use natural materials, which gives a perfect effect in the field.
-
Great camouflage, hides well. I recommend it!

It provides excellent camouflage both in the forest and in open areas. It's a pity they don't offer smaller sizes.
