Best 8 Ghillie Suits 2019

Traditional Ghillie Suit

Using a traditional ghillie suit may well be a good option for you if you intend to play in certain areas. For example, in a pine Forrest, I would argue a traditional ghillie suit would work better than a leaf suit. However typically for the use In Airsoft, I found ghillie suits to be overly hot and cumbersome. They get caught frequently on any shrub with thorns and can give your position away simply through the additional movement to get free. In addition to this, I have found that people that use bulky ghillie-suits tend not to call hits, most likely not intentionally. However, when a bb impacts a ghillie suit it tends to dampen the sound and impact as they’re so thick.

Leaf Suit

There are many advantages to using a leaf suit over a traditional ghillie suit. Firstly, I found leafsuits to be much more breathable than a traditional ghillie suit as they’re typically made from a fine mesh so aren’t nearly as hot or heavy. I also found they’re much nicer to be wearing when it rains as traditional suits soak up water and the already heavy suit begins to weight even more. Leaf suits however when they become wet they don’t tend to gain much weight at all and all that ends up happening is the colour tones darken similarly to surrounding vegetation which is great for concealment. The only disadvantage for Leafsuits over a ghillie suit is that a leafsuit will need more work done to it, as the base is typically a fine mesh and is usually prone to ripping.

The KMCS is a new leaf suit that’s being released by Kicking Mustang in June 17th 2019. The suit comes with an oversized hood, randomised leaf strips, elastic straps to retain natural vegetation. Along with my favourite feature, long cuffs that extend over the back of the hands and held in place with an elastic retaining system, ideal for stops sleeves rising up. It is however priced on the higher end, costing £180 but if you’re looking for the best quality then it may be the go-to option.

For any Milsim players this will be the suit for you, not only does it feature realistic colours and it also comes with (IRR) Infra red retardant to protect the wearer against night vision equipment so you can remain hidden even with those filthy cheaters. 😛

The Light leaf concealment system by Jack Pyke was to go-to option for high-quality leafsuits. Unforntately, since they swapped manufactures the colours on the LLCS have not been as good as the old-gen suits.

FSB suits are very similar to old style LLCS even saying they come from the same factory. The only reason I have put them below Jake Pykes LLCS suit is that they’re notoriously difficult to find. In fact, if you’re after an FSB suit you’ll probably have to find someone from Russia that is willing to sell you one overseas. The people I know who have found FSB suits have gone onto Russian Military groups and found sellers there.

I personally use the Mil-Spec suit for me it was a great alternative to some of the more expensive suits but still have amazing colour tones. The downsides I have noticed however is they’re exceedingly difficult to find and the mesh is very prone to ripping. This didn’t bother me too much as I’ve always been under the idea that repairing a suit tends to add to the concealment.

Best rocky terrain suit

The Firstlite leafsuits come in two different patterns Lite Fusion which is a mainly brown base with bright highlights ideal for rocky terrain and First lite Cipher which has more Tan colours and resembles more muddy colour tones. The Cipher with some crafting I can imagine could be an outstanding suit for anyone that plays in a very wet country that sees high amounts of traffic.

ATAKA is a company that specialises in ghillie suits, typically jute ghillie suits. Although I tend to have a hatred towards these suits with them being too hot, getting stuck on thorn bushes or just generally making hit taking difficult. I have to admit they do create some of the best-crafted ghillie suits.

North Mountain Gear is quickly becoming the go-to suit for its price range. The suit does need a fair bit of crafting but it does have the potential once dyed to compete with some of the more premium suits.

The MFH leaf suit is possible the best winter leaf suit, it’s natural colours are dark brown and need little doing to improve the colours, that said It doesn’t contain any green or tans and the mesh rips very easily.

My first leaf suit was a RealTree leaf suit, I wasn’t sure if I liked the game-play style of sneaking and firing from a concealed location so buying a £20 suit to try it out was perfect for me. Like any leaf suit if you throw enough man hours at crafting and dying the leaf suit it can compete with some of the more expensive suits available.
