Never heard of them. I'm suspecting that is probably a form of
camoflauge, possibly a form of ghille (it can be spelled with a "y" if you
are French, but that is the only place I've seen it spelled that way)
equipment.
I doubt it would be body armour, simply becuase even things like Tawaron
(fairly new stuff, much stronger than Kevlar) are heavy. I own a cape with
light weights (4x5g) at the hem, and it may be fine for around town (in the
middle ages or at Halloween), it would get hung up too easy in brush or
operationally. I would wan't one that weighed a couple kilos hanging off
of me and being loose, no thanks. I'll take a poncho with conventional
body armour.
