Effective concealment offers a significant advantage in activities that require remaining undetected.

This practice has evolved into specialized products that offer both visual disguise and, in some cases, protection from environmental elements. Reduced detectability enhances the effectiveness of pursuit and observation while minimizing the risk of being observed.
