ghillie suit
Wearable forest floor
A ghillie suit is camouflage clothing covered with strips of fabric, netting, or natural materials like leaves and twigs, designed to make the wearer blend into foliage.
Originally developed by Scottish gamekeepers for stalking deer, ghillie suits are now used by military snipers and hunters: The sniper lay motionless in his ghillie suit, invisible in the tall grass.
