VIVO Ghillie Suits, Adult and Youth Sizes, Dry Grass, Leaf, and Woodland Camo Styles

While camo-patterned clothing can help make a hunter less noticeable, it takes a ghille suit to make them nearly invisible. By covering up any semblance of a human it ensures that one will blend into an environment, provided the materials used are a reasonable match to what's there.This is a full suit, complete with jacket, pants, hood and a wrap for a rifle. It comes in a lightweight stuff stack, and each piece is packed inside-out which probably helps prevent the yarn filaments of each piece of clothing from entangling one another.The jacket has what looks like good-quality brass snaps. It's a good idea since zippers are guaranteed to snag the suit's yarns. The end of the sleeves are elastic, keeping the sleeves from slipping past the wrists. Camo-patterned gloves would make a good accessory to hide the hands.The hood fits snugly over the head and comes complete with mosquito netting over the face, which makes it impossible to wear glasses. Cutting away that panel solves the problem. The entire panel doesn't have to be cut away, just enough to let the temples of the glasses slip over the ears. But even if that panel is totally removed, there's enough "wool" to hide the eyes. Also, cutting away the panel allows one to eat or drink something without taking off the hood.Another advantage of the hood and the suit: It's mosquito-proof.The basic garment is made of mosquito netting with a woodland-like camo pattern. A variety of different colored yarns are stitched onto the netting. As seen in the photo, you end up looking like a greenish wookie. I don't know how fire resistant the material is. Since it looks a lot like tinder, it's strongly recommended that you stay away from any open flames. It's safe to assume that no one would smoke while wearing a suit like this: that kind of aroma would spook game for miles.Right out of the box the suit sheds yarn. I left a trail of them in the house when I "hid" from my 3-year-old grandson by crouching next to some furniture in the room. He didn't realize there was a person in that pile of "grass". The overall fit was very good. I'm 5'8" and 155 pounds, and M/L is a perfect fit. As mentioned, the hood was a bit snug due to the neck opening being slightly smaller than the hood itself, and I don't think my head is especially large. A drawstring for the neck would be a good idea, something that would allow a custom adjustment.The thick body of yarn fragments also happen to provide some insulation, a welcome feature if it's a chilly evening. If you're in a tropical environment you might not want to do a lot of walking while wearing this suit. Also, the yarns tend to snag on every twig and branch along the way (and anything with Velcro). The upside is that if you're missing and someone has to find you, it makes that an easy tracking job.A suit like this is mostly intended for concealment once you're in place, so the ability to cover long distances while suited up might not be a problem after all. I don't know if it will continue to shed yarn at the rate it was in my first test. Hopefully those are just the ones that didn't get perfectly locked down by the stitching.To get the suit to better match local conditions, it's probably easy enough to twirl in pieces of available foliage to add to the suit's overall concealment capabilities. Even without that, it's much better than relying entirely on a camoflaged clothing pattern.Because the entire suit is built of lightweight and porous materials, it provides absolutely no protection from rain. A rainsuit would be needed underneath if that kind of weather is expected. I'd imagine if it rained enough it would probably feel like wearing a mop, unless the suit's been treated with a good water repellant. It's made of nylon and polyethylene so it is less likely to absorb too much water, and will probably dry out enough if you're determined to stay where you are come rain or shine.I've only tested this once in the forest since getting it a couple of days ago. I picked a spot where some birds would congregate by a hog feeder. They're usually skittish and will bolt as soon as anything is amiss.I was able to observe them for several minutes without spooking them, just 30 feet away. Apparently for this suit, when it comes to effective concealment, this is the next best thing to becoming invisible.

So wore this for Halloween and it was a hit. Great camouflage.

11 yo son used this as a Halloween costume. He ran hot in it during the day, but perfect at night (we live in Southern Cal). With sweatshirt/sweatpants underneath it’d be perfect for northeast climates. He LOVED this costume. We had to return our first order (youth l/xl) as it was too short in the legs. Next size up (Adult m/l) ran too long, but was better than too short. Just dragged a bit. Waist cinches with a cord, so fits multiple waistlines. He is 5’2”, 105 lbs.The suit sheds slightly, but not badly.Not itchy, which is a plus.

I purchased this for my 11 year old son to wear as a Halloween Costume this year as well as year round use for air soft play and accompanying his Uncle during hunting. I couldn't be more happy with my purchase! My son normally wears an adult medium in shirts and children's large/XL in pants, this suit allowed for a perfect fit with both top and bottoms thanks to the elastic. The camo stringy material was very thick allowing for perfect coverage from top to bottom, I do recommend "fluffing" out the suit upon arrival to really spread out the material. This suit also comes with a face cover that has netting to allow for easy sight and breathing. Also included is a gun cover that can be used to help camouflage your gun as well! The suit comes packed in a over the shoulder camo bag that is great for carrying things when not being used to store the suit in. Overall I think this is a great quality Ghillie Suit at an awesome price. I know I struggled a bit with sizing before finding this suit, if you have any questions please feel free to comment below and I will do my best to answer them for you. I will be updating this review with pictures soon to give a better idea on fit and coverage.

Overall it looked as good as expected. Now I just see how it holds up

So i do like the mesh and the top has been quite useful and adds a nice layer of insulation from the wind.The pants and the hood are a death trap.If you try and walk in the pants the strings trap every stick and wind them up in the string and will cause you to fall.I learned this first hand.I suggest this would be used best packed into your hunting spot and used for stationary camo.I split the hood and made a veil and combined it with at face net i had and used elastic to hold it and it worked great.This product is a good start but disassembling it and fitting it to your situation is recommended.My low rating over all is because after 1 season of hunting I wont be able to wear the top anymore as it is bound together with small sticks and burs and thorns and leaves and honestly doesn't seem like it can be untangled.It did indeed do the job though.I had deer withing 20 feet twice and the buck i killed walked right beside me and never saw me.

I received my ghilly 2days after I ordered it. I can see where the storage bag in going to be handy. The suit itself is what the add says. It's stored inside out and neatly rolled up with 2 straps holding it. The suit was very comfortable and easy to get on. The snaps look to be made well and work easily. Pants are easy to get on and have 3 snaps to go over your boots. You also have a pull cord to snug it up and have to slits for getting into your pants pockets. I am a 67 year old woman who still like to bow hunt so I thought I might try something new. I rated this as a 5 star and would recommend it to all my friends.

Good quality, fast delivery, amazing product
