{"product_id":"zero-alpha-designs-mid-cape-ghillie-suit","title":"Zero Alpha Designs Mid Cape Ghillie Suit","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eArms 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #fff8e6; border-left: 4px solid #b8860b; padding: 14px 18px; margin: 16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease read before you order: this is a bespoke build, and the order notes matter.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt is made to order, not held in stock.\u003c\/strong\u003e Zero Alpha's stated lead time is up to 4-5 weeks, because your cape is built by hand after you place the order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTell them how full you want it, and what you are blending into.\u003c\/strong\u003e The standard build is intentionally a base to work from rather than a finished thicket, and the capes photographed here have had extra crafting done beyond that base. Buyers who expect the photographs and say nothing have found the delivered suit lighter than they pictured. Buyers who specify get what they wanted. So use the order notes: say whether you want it dense or sparse, name your ground (woodland, moor, reedbed, standing crop, urban edge) and name your season. Photographs of the ground help most of all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo two are identical.\u003c\/strong\u003e The hessian is hand-dyed and hand-tied in small batches, so colour, tone and garnish density vary from one cape to the next. That is inherent to a handmade product, not a fault. If yours arrives and is not right for your ground, tell us and we will take it back to Zero Alpha, who are willing to work with customers to get it there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f4f6f8; border-left: 4px solid #cf632e; padding: 12px 16px; margin: 16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing a length:\u003c\/strong\u003e the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/zero-alpha-designs-full-cape-ghillie-suit\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFull Cape Ghillie Suit\u003c\/a\u003e carries on past the hips for static work, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/zero-alpha-designs-head-and-shoulders-ghillie-suit\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHead and Shoulders Ghillie Suit\u003c\/a\u003e stops at the chest for the least bulk of the three.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSafety Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Note on Night Vision and Thermal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zero Alpha Designs","offers":[{"title":"Summer","offer_id":53342385864971,"sku":"sku-55194200473983","price":219.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Autumn","offer_id":53342385897739,"sku":"sku-55194200506751","price":219.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/0007\/0155\/files\/ghillie-2.jpg?v=1788531827","url":"https:\/\/taskoutdoor.co.uk\/products\/zero-alpha-designs-mid-cape-ghillie-suit","provider":"Task Outdoor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
