No I mean like it fell down over my face so you can't see my face. I could see perfectly fine through it.

Ah, I gotcha. What's the ventilation like? I've always found ghillie suits rather hot and uncomfortable after a few minutes.

Oh it will definitely get hot in there lol. It's quite thick, Something to get used to though. Proabably wont be too bad for me as I don't usually overheat (will in Summer, but will probs just wear a basic camo BDU for that)

Yeah good luck with that haha. You'll have to get some pics next time you go down and we'll play 'spot the ghillie".

Yeah thanks lol,
Just looked again and the leafy suit I got is much thinner, so that will be better for summer wear lol. Although probs will have to wear Camo beneath it as its like mesh between the leaves.

It's a Jackal Ghillie suit by Jack Pyke
Retailers online are showing its £100+

I got it preowned when I bought the VSR 10 and MK23 in the bundle I posted here



Where he got it from I don't know though. I paid £600 and got kryptek mandrake stuff, action cam, and all sorts lol.

Pre made ghillies suck imo..

Most of the times your surroundings won't match the ghillie shape/colour making you stand out more than a pink t-rex costume..

I made one, took me ages to find the correct colour tones and arrangement to make it work, but at the end of the day you couldn't see me within 20 feet from you..

Oh I do agree, this will probably stand out really badly at Stormforce it's 100% more for "looking the part" lol. But with the distances Stormforce offers, you will either be easily visible, or way too far away to be seen lol. But I'll be the only ghillie wearing player anyway so I'll stand out for that reason alone lol

 
Hooked it on the back of my car with a cinder block on it and went for a ride on a dirt road, then dumped it in the mud several times..

The first time I wore it I couldn't bend lol..

Ditched it after selling my vsr10, I was so tired of sniping that I couldn't even look at a magnified optic without the need to drink bleach xD

While it's true that a well made ghillie has a lot of natural material on it, the base tone must be somewhat similar to the environment, otherwise it's like trying to hide a black bear in the arctic..

Bonus points if you stay out and don't go back to the safezone until the end of the game day.

It makes me sad that you've got a £1200 optic and a manky looking bit of lexan on a rail mount protecting it :(   

The objective lens 'cavity' has room for a protective insert!

Yes... Something I will sort. Although the sight cost me a tenth of your quote, I would be gutted if it broke. 

Cheers.
