(Newswire.net — July 31, 2013) Lynden, WA –Traditional jute string and burlap strips have been used for many years as the default material to tie onto your netting when building your Ghillie. Jute string is a good choice but also comes with some drawbacks.
It has a high flammability rating requiring you to apply fire retardant. This can result in a strong chemical smell that you may find unbearable. A quick search on flame retardants can reveal a lot about their chemical nature and the effects it can have on you.
The Synthetic Ghillie String does not require flame retardant. Being naturally flame resistant it is virtually scentless and also non allergenic.
The waterproof qualities of the synthetic Ghillie Jute string help keep you from becoming waterlogged when hunting or playing in heavy rain.
Jute is also heavy. A full coverage suit can weight 8 to 10 pounds. Half a pound of Synthetic String equals 1.3 pounds of Jute in volume. This means the weight of your Ghillie suit is cut by more than half!
The effectiveness of a Ghillie suit is increased by the addition of local vegetation. When building the suit you are matching the general area you will use the suit in.
Upon arrival at your hunting or scenario gaming area you should fine tune the camouflage pattern by adding some local vegetation.
This will add weight to the suit, but you will find out how important this step is in achieving the best camouflage.
A light weight suit helps you stay cooler in the heat of summer. The increased mobility will also improve your game.
