Zero Alpha Designs Mid Cape Ghillie Suit

The Mid Cape sits in the middle of Zero Alpha's three ghillie lengths. It pulls on over the head and covers the hood, the shoulders and the torso, finishing around the waist rather than carrying on down past the hips like the Full Cape. That shorter cut is the whole point of it: there is less material hanging off you, so less to catch on wire, brambles and bipod legs, and less to gather up when you need to move between positions rather than settle into one.

The build is the same as the rest of the ghillie range. A Viper base shroud provides a light mesh backing with rows of elastic loops sewn across it, and hand-dyed hessian is tied on over the top in mixed greens, tans and russets so the colour shifts across the garment instead of reading flat. Because the hessian is dyed in-house rather than bought in pre-coloured, the palette can be pushed towards the ground you actually work. The elastic loops then let you dress it further with bracken, grass or conifer picked up on the day.

Arms and the front of the body stay clear, so a rifle, a chest rig, a camera or a set of binoculars all remain workable with the cape on. Each one is weathered and tested before it is packed, and built to order in the United Kingdom.

Technical Specifications

Warranty

Zero Alpha Designs do not publish a stated warranty period for this range. As with everything we sell, your statutory rights under the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 apply in full: goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. If something is wrong with your cape, contact sales@taskoutdoor.co.uk with your order number and photographs of the fault and we will take it up with Zero Alpha on your behalf. Please note that because each piece is hand-built to order, variation in colour, garnish density and finish between one cape and another is a normal feature of the product rather than a fault.

Safety Information

This is a camouflage garment and nothing more. It is designed to assist with visual concealment only and offers no protection against injury, heat, flame, ballistic threats or environmental hazards. Hessian and jute are natural fibres and will burn readily, so keep the cape well away from open flames, stoves, vehicle exhausts and any other source of high heat. Inspect it before every use, follow the care instructions supplied with the garment, and bear in mind that a hood and garnish reduce your peripheral vision and hearing. Safe use of this product is the responsibility of the wearer.

A Note on Night Vision and Thermal

A ghillie suit works against the naked eye and against optics that use visible light. It breaks up the human outline and blends it into the background. Thermal imaging is a different problem: it reads the heat a body emits rather than the light it reflects, and no garnish layer conceals a warm body from it. Zero Alpha make no rated night vision or thermal claim for this cape, and neither do we.
