The Ultra-Light Heavy Sniper Style BDU (Battle Dress Uniform) Jacket and Pants Ghillie Suit is made in the USA. It is custom built to your specifications and takes 5-10 days to build and ship. This is the Sniper version which means the front of the BDU Jacket and Pants is left bare of Jute material. Because snipers spend plenty of time stalking and crawling around, the front of the Suit is reinforced with a layer of Cordura material. This makes sniper crawls over rough terrain much easier. This BDU Sniper Ghillie Suit has a 3 layer construction design:
The Base Layer is a Military BDU which comes in 6 different pattern choices. These are made by Atlanco. On the front of the BDU we sew a 1000 Denier Cordura Plus fabric. The Plus means the Cordura has a urethane coating which makes it water proof, so you won’t get wet while lying down.
CORDURA Reinforced- the front of the Suit is reinforced with a layer of Cordura material.
- CORDURA Colors. We only use 3 colors of Cordura. Standard Woodland, Day Desert, and ACU.
- Standard Woodland used on: Woodland, Digital Woodland, & MultiCam BDU’s.
- Day Desert used on: 3-color Desert & Digital Desert.
- ACU used on: ACU
The 2nd layer is our 1″ x 1″nylon netting. This is sewn directly to the back of the Military BDU Jacket and pants with Industrial strength sewing machines.
The 3rd layer is where our synthetic Ghillie jute comes in. It is hand tied directly to the netting and covers the back of Jacket and Pants and also the attached hood.
Our Synthetic Jute thread is: Fire-retardant Water-repellant Rot Proof Mildew resistant Non-Allergenic Contains No UV-Brighteners
BDU Sniper Jacket Specifications
The Jacket is a Military BDU 4 Pocket Coat made by Atlanco. We then sew 1″ by 1″ netting on the back and then hand tie synthetic Jute onto the netting. The Synthetic Jute thread covers the entire back of the jacket, the back of the sleeves and the hood.
On the front of the jacket and sleeves, we sew a 1000 Denier Cordura Plus fabric. This allows you to slide and crawl on the ground over rocks and through mud with ease. The Cordura has a urethane coating which makes the suit water-proof, so you wont get soaked when crawling around in wet conditions.
We have attached 1″ wide Nylon straps to the inside of the sleeves as thumb loops, so the sleeves wont ride up your arms when crawling. The front jacket buttons have been removed and Velcro has been sewn on so you won’t feel the bumps when crawling.
By using netting on the outside of the BDU Jacket, you can add natural vegetation while out in the field. This allows you to change your pattern by adding leaves and other foliage.
Actual weight for the Medium Regular jacket is 3 lbs.
Pockets come closed but you can choose to make the pockets accessible
The Hood is constructed by hand tying synthetic Jute thread to 1″x1″ netting and then sewing this to the Jacket. This design helps you to stay cooler by allowing the wind to pass through. It also allows for better hearing.
Venting the Jacket Option
Venting the BDU Jacket is an option. The BDU shirt has a rectangle cut out of the back. About 12” across by 18” down. Then the mesh is sewn on, then the ghillie netting with thread is sewn to the BDU Jacket
BDU Sniper Pants Specifications
The Military BDU Pants are made by Atlanco. We sew 1″ by 1″ netting on the back and then hand tie synthetic Jute onto the netting. The Synthetic Jute thread covers the entire back of the pants.
On the front of the pants, we sew a 1000 Denier Cordura Plus fabric. This allows you to slide and crawl on the ground over rocks and through mud with ease. The Cordura has a urethane coating which makes the suit water-proof, so you wont get soaked when crawling around in wet conditions. The 1000 Denier is also very abrasive resistant, so you can crawl over rocks and sticks with ease.
Top front and rear pockets are accessible.
Care Instructions: If the suit needs cleaning just hand wash and hang it out to dry. On the Jute suits you will need to reapply fire retardant after washing.
NOTE: This is a custom built suit. Once built there are no cancellations or returns. We do accept size exchanges and this is subject to a 20% restocking fee.
Great base. Make it darker to suit your needs in your area and its perfect. Good protection from the elements.
Absolutely love the quality and durability of this gillie. Best one ever!!
I bought the sniper ghillie in moss. This is the second suit I’ve bought here due to the quality of manufacture and attention to detail. The heavy front panels are tough and protect you from rough ground for crawling or just laying on the ground. There is plenty of string on the webbing with room to add more or weave in foliage.
Mine is oversized to fit a gore- Tex stealth suit and level 4 armour. The Velcro front closure and Velcro wrist closures are great for adjusting between not wearing armour/ Gore-Tex under the suit and wearing the full kit. I find these suits to be a good value. I use the synthetic product for the flame retardant properties
Like all equipment, camouflage or field gear some customizing will happen but the quality of the pants and jacket cant be questioned the time has been put into them. damn fine work
Very well built. It’s very close to the one I made for U.S Army Sniper School years ago. As with anything, there will need to be some personal modifications but it’s an excellent platform to start with. Definitely worth the money not to have to sit for hours knotting jute.
