This battle-tested piece of gear has withstood the test of time, causes one to disappear in the woods, and costs all of $20.

Price-wise, that's pretty hard to beat. A brand-new, full camo getup can often set one back upwards of $120. And though I've previously discussed a low-cost alternative using UCP military surplus camo, a sniper's veil may be a much easier (and faster) alternative to turn to.

Can a sniper's veil hide a person?

The most obvious use of a sniper's veil is to conceal a person. Within war, sniper's use this piece of equipment draped over their head and body to stay hidden as they scope out the battleground.
