Quik Camo: A Quick Way to Level Up Your Concealment

The full kit includes a shirt, pants, gloves, the bucket hat and a neck gaiter. You can opt for a baseball cap instead, which also includes the face covering, but it has the disadvantage of not being able to adjust the brim like the bucket hat. It’s available in sizes Small/Medium, Large/ and XXLl/3XL.

Everything in the Quik Camo lineup comes in a variety of camo patterns, including Mossy Oak’s Bottomland (Original and New), Shadow Grass Blades, Greenleaf, Obsession and more. My personal picks would be either Bottomland or Shadow Grass Blades as an all-season pattern you can use in the turkey woods, a deer stand or early season waterfowl.  

A big advantage of this leafy suit is that it’s ultra lightweight. It comes with a stuff bag that you can put the full suit in and tuck into a backpack or turkey vest. If you’re pack hunting or doing any sort of pursuit where you’re trying to reduce pack weight, these camo sets are a great low-weight option to add to your layered system. 

The breathability of the suit also helps on those days when it’s chilly in the morning but hot in the afternoon. You can take off layers and put the Quik Camo suit back on so you aren’t sweating out your gear during the midday. 

Speaking of sweat, I wear glasses, and when I get hot, it’s not uncommon for me to have issues with my glasses fogging up on chilly mornings. The face mask is breathable enough to mitigate those issues and help make sure I’m not window wiping my lenses when a bird is coming in. If you are hunting with the gaiter and the mask with glasses, I would recommend having the gaiter sit at least below your nose to help reduce fogging when paired with the mask. 

One of my favorite pieces of gear from this set is the bucket hat. It has a built-in facemask that can be tucked up into the hat and easily pulled down for extra concealment. The brim of the hat also has wire in it, so you can adjust how high or low it sits on your brow.

The gloves are fingerless on the thumbs, pointer and middle fingers so you can have confident ease of use and not be worried about fumbling the safety or getting on the trigger because of poorly fitted gloves. They also have grip on the palms to make sure you have a solid hold on your shotgun. 

The obvious choice for this suit is spring turkey. If you’re doing run-and-gun-style hunting, just moving from spot to spot with no blind, this suit will give you an edge. As previously mentioned, Bottomland would be my preferred all-season pattern so I can blend into brush piles, the silhouette of a large tree or tall grass before and after leaf-out. 

It’s also a great option for early season deer hunters. I often hunt large river bottoms where the mosquitos are relentless, and a suit like this one helps me add layers to my concealment and my bug resistance. If you are hunting without a repellent like a Thermacell, keeping mosquitos at bay can significantly increase your focus and time afield. No one wants to be swatting at bugs constantly.

I’m a big fan of ground hunting for deer, and whether I’m sitting at the base of a tree or still-hunting, being well concealed can help open that 20- to 30-second window of opportunity you may not otherwise get. This suit in Shadow Grass Blades would be a great option for hunting marsh bucks that hang out in the reeds and willow thickets of river corridors and alongside ponds and lakes. 

If you’re looking to add that layer of concealment, the advantage of a leafy suit speaks for itself. You can build your own leafy suit here.
