This winter ghillie suit consists of four parts allowing the wearer to cover their body, head and weapon. Constructed from a lightweight mesh fabric to allow for ventilation, it is covered with long white and grey fibres disrupting the silhouette of the wearer. Ghillie is a reference to the Ghillie Dhu in Scottish mythology, a male fairy who is clothed in leaves and moss.
