The Special Ops Action Ghillie II (Complete) is a lightweight, durable, and comfortable ghillie suit that is specifically designed for today’s paintball sniper. Unlike heavier, less effective ghillie suits, the Action Ghillie II is cool to wear and does not adversely hinder your mobility.
The Action Ghillie II utilizes military-spec, die-cut vinyl leaf that is lightweight, tough and flexible, so it holds up to the rough demands of woodsball and makes no more noise when you’re crawling through the bush than that of regular cammies. The vinyl leafs have proven to be an extremely effective 3D camouflage system, allowing you to gain much closer access to your unfortunate target.
The military-standard leaf vinyl provides a natural profile in the woods, casting shadows and highlights where they tend to fool the eye. The texture of camo leaf blends very well in the forest, brush and desert.
Over 100-square feet of leaf material is provided with the Action Ghillie II, which is also fire retardant, so you don’t have to worry about spraying or applying noxious chemicals to your suit. The Action Ghillie leaf only comes in All-Season, but you can purchase density upgrades to customize the color so it best matches your woodsball environment.
The base material of the Action Ghillie pants and shirt consists of a super-strong, breathable mesh fabric that allows the breeze to blow through so you keep cool and comfortable. The collars and cuffs are wide, knit fabric for maximum comfort and even the pant material is camouflage, and also includes a comfy draw-band waist.
Designed for active players who enjoy the “sniping” aspects of the game, the Action Ghillie II camo system is light, lean, and comfortable. You’ll have no problem jumping up and running if/when an ambush goes south - or charging for the flag if you feel so inclined!

| Review: |
First time out, knew what the purpose was to a Ghillie, but never knew how great it actually worked. Had to fight the urge to start shooting once I saw the other team... I had 2 member of the other team standing within 3 feet of me as I sat on the ground next to a bush, I was going to open up on them, but there were at least 6 others with them.... My personal mission was to Blow the Base !
This is an out standing Ghillie, no wonder they are always out of stock !
Needless to say.... 2 hours and 10 minutes after leaving my base, I had the enemy base blown with the C.O. and X.O. in there... with 8 other people inside and about 20 people outside waiting for the red team to attack there base sooner or later !
And that was by myself... that is, me and my Invisible cloak of Ghillie.
BTW... I had 2 barrel tags on the way there :o)

| Conclusion: |
Want to try something totally different.... buy this suit, you'll have to fight the urge to open up when you see the enemy, but to hear you heart beating so loud that you think they can hear it when they are just feet from you. Intense !
The only problem I had was dead twigs snagging my pants legs and me draging them, I would have to stop and pull them out carefully. |
