ghillie suits
Leafy disguise clothing
A ghillie suit is a camouflage garment covered with loose strips of fabric, netting, or natural materials like leaves and twigs, designed to make the wearer blend into foliage.
Snipers and hunters wear them to become nearly invisible in outdoor environments: The sniper crawled through the grass in his ghillie suit.
Also spelled gillie suit.
