If you've ever seen a sniper on the news or in a film, then you have probably noticed that unsettling, half-man, half-shrubbery appearance. That is thanks to a ghillie
suit. The point of the ghillie suit is to make a sniper disappear into his surroundings.
Snipers and hunters with extreme requirements for camouflage use a ghillie, or yowie suit. The ghillie suit was originally developed by Scottish
gamekeepers as a portable hunting blind. The name derives from ghillie, the Scots Gaelic for 'boy', in English especially used to refer to servants assisting in hunting or fishing expeditions. A ghillie dhu is a type of
brownie which is supposed to disguise itself in leaves and vegetation using 3-D Digital Disruptive Camo Nets.
US Army Ghillie suits are often built using a pilot's flight suit, battle dress uniform (BDU), or some other one-piece coverall as the base. Ponchos made of durable nylon netting can also be used.
