If you understand the basics of camouflage, you're well aware that a ghillie suit offers the ultimate solution to blending into your surroundings. Ghillie suits are used extensively by all branches of the military as well as a common tool used by hunters in the woods. Within recent years, the ghille suit has made its way into both airsoft and paintball play.
Many people will create their own ghillie suit by taking BDU's or a flight suit and attaching burlap strips and synthetic fibers to it. The strips are dyed or painted to represent the colors of the foliage in which the suit will be used. Suits can be modified by adding actual branches, leaves and tall grass to make a ghillie suit as effective as possible. Most ghillie suits are perfect for paintball use. They allow you to lay on the ground, stand against a tree or in hide in brush without detection.
We have a entire line of pre-assembled ghillie suits. Suits vary in the type of material in which they are composed, the color pattern and whether they are one piece or multiple piece kits. Our latest Lightweight Paintball Ghillie Suit is composed of two pieces: a jacket and a pair of pants. Synthetic fibers are attached to a polyester mesh suit. Snap closures and elastic waist and wrists keep the suit tight to you. Offered in two sizes, the ghillie sniper suit will fit most adults and offers a color palette that will allow you to blend into most wooded areas.

Camouflage: Your Second Weapon in Paintball
Many people underestimate the importance of camouflage when playing paintball. Players will wear normal t-shirts, sweatshirts or even tournament jerseys into the woods. Typically, they're the first seen walking back to the staging area during a game. They become a quick target because they are easily tracked and zoned in on.
Proper paintball camouflage will do a lot for your game. Camo is used to break up the lines that are formed by our outline against objects of different shape and color. Our eyes are trained to detect both movement and shapes. Proper camouflage from head to toe will blend your outline in with that of the surroundings, giving you a better chance to remain undetected and therefore in the game.
Most people don't realize this but they are two components to a good camouflage. The most common component is choosing a camo pattern that blends in best with the surroundings. Typically in most areas this camo pattern is woodland. Basic woodland camo is the most univeral camouflage pattern available because it tends to blend well with most non-desert or snow-based areas. There a ton of camo patterns available and the better color matched you are to the enviroment you are in, the better off you'll be. Companies like Valken Paintball are making their apparel, vest and accessories in various color patterns instead of the standard woodland or digital camo colors.
The second component to a good camouflage is the shape. It may sound weird because most people think of camo in terms of basic clothing like a shirt and a pair of pants. The most effective camo is that made of the surrounding foliage. Ghillie suits are a great example of how a person's shape can get lost in his surroundings. Paintball Ghillie suits are made from strips of synthetic material or torn-up burlap. They are connected to a mess outfit or glued/sewn to a flight suit or other clothing. Ghillie suits come in a range of configurations including a one-piece design to a four piece kit. Othen kits may include a paintball gun bush rag (ghillie for your gun) to disguise your weapon. Suits are made in varying color patterns similar to camo clothing. Most ghillie suits are designed to allow you to add actual leaves, high grass and branches from your environment. This makes it extremely hard for a person to be detected and therefore offering your best line of protection in the woods.

Paintball Ghillie Suits Have Arrived!
No, it's not the creature from the black lagoon or what might have eaten Jessica Simpson's dog... it's a ghillie suit! Ghillie suits offer the ultimate in camouflage protection, allowing you to stay concealed in open spaces and within close proximity to your opponent without being detected. Our Paintball Ghillie Suits are very lightweight. Each suit includes full body coverings as well as a piece to cover your marker. OPFOR will never know what hit them. We have them in various color patterns to blend into just about any playing environment out there. Paintball Ghillie Suits are now available in Woodland Camo, Urban Camo and Desert Camo. Snow camo ghillie suits are on the way and should be here in plenty of time before the snow starts falling.
The idea behind any camouflage device, whether it be clothing or coverings of any kind, is to break up the lines that allow our eyes and brain to detect shapes and silhouettes. No single piece of camouflage works better than the ghillie suit. Ask anyone who's used one in the field, it 'almost' offers an unfair advantage. Our suits run almost half of what most suits on the market cost! They are available in two sizes: medium/large and xlarge/xxlarge.
Visit the site and look for other great camo products from ROCKSTAR Tactical. Our Camo Form Camouflage Tape has been a big hit since its debut on the website a few weeks back. In order to win in the woods, you have to find every advantage possible. Having the right tools to conceal your position is as important as the paintball gun you carry!
