I've been a dealer for Tactical Concealment for awhile now and I am often asked my opinion on whether a full suit, like the "mamba", is better than a 2/3 style like the "cobra" or webtex ghillie cloak. My personal feeling is that the 2/3 style is better because it gives excellent coverage up to about 10 meters out and can be packed away quickly when moving through thick terrain or water obstacles.
The only notable advantage I can find with full military style suits besides the total coverage is the durability provided by the canvas/nylon reinforcements on the chest/elbows/knees. The extra durability is nice, but is it worth trapping yourself in a suit that is hard to get off in a hurry. You also have to deal with either wearing a second uniform underneath or completely removing the ghillie and changing to another uniform as needed.
My personal set up is a modified cobra with a crye field uniform. I modded the shirt with a closed chest system(cordura reinforced)and placed a side zipper entry and adjustable crotch strap on it.
Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.....
