HELP --best ghillie suits on the market
- Thread starter smsnyder
- Start date
This one.... ghilie suit looks the best but it will have any stickers or any thing that will stick attach to it like crazy!!! If you are hunting an area that is not full of stuff that will attach itself then this the way to go. It is kinda like a thin yarn for lack of a better description. You can find this stuff in a light brownish tone and also a greenish woodland type tone.
If you hunt areas that have stickers and stuff then this one.. ghilie ... would be a better choice if you can still find the pattern you like as it looks like they might be discontinuing this line of stuff. The field brown will look good in light brown dead looking type grass and the advantage timber would look better if hunting greener looking areas.
They make pants to match each of the jackets and also have gloves and face masks also.
I own both types and they both work well. If not hunting areas with the aformentioned stickers then I will almost always pick up the first set-up that I posted. If there are stickers around I have learned real fast to leave that stuff at home though.
Hope this helps some. If there is a Cabela's close by or if you are going to be near one then I would stop in and check them both out to see which you like better.

+100 on that one Rancho Safari -- VERY GOOD!!! Talk to Redfrog.
I've got one and recently got within 30 yards of some Mule Deer. They (6 of them) just kept grazing while I sat down and called in a coyote. Didn't leave till the 'yote spooked them, then I shot the 'yote without him even knowing I was there.
Can't say enough good things about this suit. And I will be buying one for my kids this summer for certain.

Cant go wrong with a Shaggie Rancho Safari.
My wife bought me one from http://www.ghilliesuits.com/
I absolutely love how effective and versatile it is. It is made out of a synthetic material (not jute) which is much lighter and doesn't absorb water like jute. I have been really happy with it.
I can't say which is the best on the market because I haven't used or seen any other brands but it is a quality suit.
Stay away from rose bushes if you get one.

the Rancho Safari shaggie is a 3/4 length parka. When I use mine I sit down and pull the bottom down over my legs. you put it on like any other parka, zip it up and go.

They also make a light weight predator jacket. It comes to your waist and has a hood. You can get it in light green only , dark green only , or a mix of the 2 (called Jerry flauge). you can have it with jute or with out jute. These are the same jackets used by Byron South and myself. Byron went with all dark green and mine is the Jerry flauge.

I would honestly recommend considering constructing your own. That was my approach, most firearm/surplus stores sell large strips of burlap material, the netting can be of your choice, and i just used BDUs. No pics at this time of mine but I love it. very very effective, not too awful in summer(had turkey in mind), and I have less than 40 bucks in it. Now if you do this it can be time consuming to get it "right". And some fire-inhibitor is a must.
I've got one form Rancho Safari and the lightweight one from ghillesuits.com. The yarn one from gs.com will make you almost invisible, but snags on, and collects EVERYTHING!!! The R.S. lightweight is a real good compromise, just stay away from anything with thorns!
I HATE burlap!!!! The stuff will make you itch, scratch, and little dry particles of the stuff will get in your nose and eyes!!!! The better made burlap ones will do a great jub of concealing you, but for my money and time, they're more trouble than they're worth.....YMMV.
