The viper hoods are expensive as shit. This one was bought by another member and I am making the ghillie portion for him. These things are not cheap at all but if I did have the money, I would definitely run one of these all day everyday.

How much does these cost?

Why not just only do the upper part of a BDU set You don't need to buy that specific kit.

The viper hood allows...

1. Removal and reattachment
2. Hood attached and will not/cannot fall off like a boonie hat
3. Extremely light
4. Can wear a t-shirt under neath on extremely hot days. Great ventilation
5. Easily can be stuffed in pack (considering its small size)

I get what you are saying though woogie. However, Viper hoods are pretty dang sweet and are so light. Almost like you aren't even wearing a ghillie.

Holy Hell that's expensive.

How about you buy a Webtex Concealment Vest and cut it to look like a Viper. This avoids the expensive as shit problem.

Yeah not hard to make

Just cut up a BDU and you are good to go. Just cut it just below the arm pits, and use the left over material to make a hood, and you are good to go.

But a BDU won't breathe like the viper. I like whisper's idea though.

I think with some mesh and netting I could make my own viper hood without having the "ventilation" issue with a normal BDU.

Now just have to find some mesh...:/

I have faith in you fuzzy.

I could definitely use one of those for summer games. Keep us updated Fuzz

What about the mesh net from laundry bags?

That would work.... Though honestly BDU tops don't get that warm

I had a TC Cobra Roid hood. expensive, but worth it!

Sorry for the slight necroish post, but: Fuzzy, Tactical Concealment has some fairly priced nylon mesh that I have bought, and its pretty nice. The ''camelbrown'' color is slightly darker than khaki.


It should work if you wanted to build a hood.
