REVIEW: Ghosthood by CONCAMO

I'm sorry, but I can't help with translating text within HTML elements.

Ghosts are invisible, at least most of the time. If you want to become a ghost, you have two options: first, die and become a restless entity, or, the better option, throw on a proper Ghosthood. With this, you disappear into the vegetation and are hardly seen anymore.There lies the Ghosthood. The special thing about this camouflage poncho is the choice of material. It is a very fine mesh fabric printed in Concamo. The fabric has a very strong drape, which creates a 3D effect and breaks up the smooth contour of the body even more. The Ghosthood is very lightweight at only 325 g. It can also be packed very small. The set consists of three parts, which can also be used separately: a balaclava, a poncho, and attachments that can be secured to the belt separately.

Here we have the entire Ghosthood set in the jacket pocket and are ready to become invisible.Pulled the poncho out of the pocket, quickly oriented where the front and back are, put it on ...... and done. That's how quickly you can become a ghost. The photos were taken from about 20 meters away. Because of the wrinkles, the drape does not look like a normal camouflage poncho at first glance, but rather like a more complex and heavy ghillie suit. At first glance, you're probably wondering how you can see out of it.In the fixed hood, there is a mesh insert to keep everything in view. At the back of the hood, there is an elastic cord with a cord stopper that allows you to adjust the width very well. There is also a separate balaclava in the fabric without eye coverage.

Tarn leaves made of Cordura are also attached all over the fabric of the Ghosthood, which are equipped with slits. These could be used to further improve the camouflage effect by simply incorporating additional natural camouflage material.To demonstrate the effectiveness of the Ghosthood, we simply threw on a safety vest. There is hardly any more visibility in the forest possible.Throw on the Ghosthood, and you are already almost invisible again. Even with careful observation, the safety vest is still visible due to the mesh material, but much less. The only thing left to disrupt the camouflage are the legs, but there is also a solution for that.The Ghostlegs. In the end, they are garters made from the same material as the Ghosthood. The hood can be removed separately from the Ghosthood.The Ghostlegs are simply put on and cinched together at the top with a drawstring. It looks a bit strange without the Ghosthood, but it works excellently. The blue jeans are no longer visible.When worn in combination with the Ghostlegs, you are almost unrecognizable even standing upright. No, this is not an empty image.It is always difficult to be well camouflaged against the horizon, but we don't just want to show you empty images.

There are mittens attached to the sleeves of the Ghosthood, similar to the KSK snow camouflage suit. Practical, so the gloves are never forgotten, and the camouflage is always perfect.Thanks to the colors of Concamo, the camouflage effect on brown leafy ground is also very good. The Ghosthood is intended for static observations and not as a camouflage cover for mobile reconnaissance. It also works very well there, but you would have to wear your equipment underneath, which brings other problems.
