Wildlife Watching Supplies

B30.2 Lightweight Camouflage Suit

£94/$118 www.wildlifewatchingsupplies.co.uk

this has to be the most minimal hide possible: a hoodie and overtrousers combo. Without the hassle of a conventional hide, you’re free to stay on the move and track wildlife, as long as you’re travelling light.

Both elements of the suit are baggy enough to make a rapper’s attire look skin tight, so they help break up your outline and will fit over whatever clothing you’re already wearing. The quick-drying material is rustle-free and though not waterproof, it is highly breathable, light and surprisingly comfortable.

Downsides? You’ll need additional camouflage to keep your camera and a support under wraps, and you’re open to the elements. It’s also a good job people are unlikely to spot you, as this special-forces look would raise a few eyebrows if you were to encounter passing ramblers!

PhotoPlus VERDICT

Pros: Very portable; realistic camo pattern and baggy look ups stealth Cons: Pricey for what you get; camera/support require extra cover We say: Great for staying mobile, but the bag hide offers better value
