It is made of [[netting]], with woven threads of [[burlap]], [[yute]], and other [[fibers]] in to help hide the sniper's body [[Silhouette|outline]]. Ghillie suits are heavy, usually weighing 3-10 pounds or more, and can become very hot. They also can catch on objects when used in the woods and make movement difficult. Still, they are one of the best kinds of camouflage a sniper can use. With a properly made ghillie suit that matches the [[terrain]] around him, a sniper can be almost [[invisibility|invisible]], even to a [[soldier]] right next to him. == Other websites == * [https://ghillie-suit.com/how-to-make-a-ghillie-suit/ How to Make a Ghillie Suit: A Step-by-Step Guide] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230313183136/https://ghillie-suit.com/how-to-make-a-ghillie-suit/ |date=2023-03-13 }} {{military-stub}} [[Category:Military uniform]]
