Camouflage suit

A camouflage suit or camouflage robe is a special type of clothing that is used for camouflage in open areas. From the name itself, it becomes clear that the main functional characteristic of this type of clothing is disguise. Camouflage suits among the people have many different names, among which the most popular are camouflage robe, camouflage coat, camouflage poncho or cape.

For the first time in historical chronicles, a camouflage suit appeared during the Second Boer War, which dates back to 1899-1902. However, if you take a closer look at the issue of the appearance of camouflage-type clothing, you can see that even the ancient Mexicans often wore a special cut of the poncho. At the same time, it should be noted that at that time ponchos were not used as camouflage clothing, but were only comfortable and easy-to-wear garments.

Today, quite a lot of stores offer camouflage-type clothing to the attention of buyers. Such clothing is sold in military stores, shops with goods for hunters and fishermen, as well as in points that specialize in the sale of special-purpose clothing.

Previously, camouflage robes and suits were used mainly by the military, in particular by snipers who need to hide their location.

Also, camouflage suits are widely demanded by people of various professions: photographers, cameramen, videographers, zoologists and ornithologists. Due to their low weight, camouflage suits can be used as special clothing by builders and loaders.

All camouflage coats can be divided into two types: home-made and manufactured at enterprises. Of course, it will not be difficult to make a camouflage suit yourself. Moreover, there is a lot of different information and literature on this topic. However, it is worth considering the fact that homemade costumes will not be made as professionally as production models.

The main features of camouflage suits:

• the use of durable and reliable materials - when sewing camouflage suits and suits, polyester, polyamide, jute and bast can be used;
• high practicality, reliability and wear resistance of the finished product;
• quality work (tailoring);

• compliance with seasonality (there are summer, all-season and winter kits) and terrain;
• relatively light weight, since camouflage suits are often not the main clothes, their weight is small;
• color features;

• type of camouflage suit (this can be a camouflage robe in the form of a cape or poncho, piece-work overalls or a separate set, which consists of a jacket and loose-fitting trousers);
• free cut (at the same time, it should be noted that all camouflage robes are made practically without taking into account the build of a person, only height is taken into account);

• the ratio of the criteria "price" and "quality";
• trade mark (companies that are engaged exclusively in tailoring special-purpose clothing produce more practical, high-quality and functional sets).

As noted above, recently camouflage kits have become massively popular, both among the military and among the civilian population. And as you know, demand creates supply. That is why companies producing special-purpose clothing offer potential consumers various models of camouflage suits and gowns. At the same time, this type of clothing is made taking into account seasonality (both summer and winter sets are in high demand), the weather and climatic conditions of the region and the terrain.

A wide range of camouflage kits is able to satisfy the needs of any, even the most demanding customer.
