New Players Buyer Guide: Which Pants Fits Your Playstyle?
Welcome back to N.P.B.G — New Player Buyer Guide, Skirmshop USA’s ongoing series designed to help players build smarter, more effective airsoft loadouts.
In Episode 3, we’re tackling a question that doesn’t get enough attention — but absolutely should:
What’s the difference between the Stalker Full Suit (Leaf Suit) Pants and the Stalker Concealment (Combat) Pants?
Both are outstanding pieces of gear. Both dramatically improve lower-body camouflage. But they’re built for very different types of players. Understanding those differences is what helps you choose the setup that actually works for how you play.
Why Pants Matter More Than You Think
Most players focus on upper-body camouflage — hoods, capes, and ghillie tops — while completely ignoring their legs.
That’s a mistake.
Legs are constantly moving, kneeling, shifting, and catching light. Poor lower-body camouflage is one of the biggest reasons players get spotted, even with a solid upper-body setup. Both Stalker options below solve that problem — just in different ways.
Stalker Leaf Suit Pants (Full Suit Bottoms)
Maximum Concealment. Total Immersion.
The Stalker Leaf Suit Pants are designed as part of a full-body concealment system, not as a standalone product. When paired with the matching upper half, they create seamless camouflage from head to toe.
Available in Alder and Brown Oak, these pants feature consistent leafing and color across the entire body, eliminating gaps between upper and lower camouflage — a huge advantage when prone or partially concealed.
They include adjustable drawstrings at the waist and ankles, suspender loops, and deep pockets that allow access to the pants worn underneath. Crafting loops provide plenty of room to add custom vegetation, while breathable mesh helps manage heat despite the full coverage.
This is about maximum concealment — when you want to disappear completely.
Best Use Case
These pants work best for players who:
- Commit to staying hidden for long periods
- Run prone sniper or static ambush roles
- Don’t need frequent access to front-mounted gear
- Value immersion and silhouette breakup above all else
Pros
- Full-body concealment when paired with the full suit
- Excellent for crafting and vegetation customization
- Comfortable and breathable despite coverage
Cons
- Less accessible for upper-body gear
- No integrated kneepads or kneepad slots
Stalker Concealment Pants (Combat Pants)
The Suit Pants — Upgraded.
The Stalker Concealment Pants were built by taking everything that worked in the full suit pants — and adding the features players kept asking for.
These are a standalone product, designed for flexibility, durability, and movement. They still provide the same lower-body camouflage coverage (thighs, knees, shins, calves), but with major functional upgrades.
They include integrated suspenders, belt loops for compatibility with standard belts and battle belts, adjustable drawstring waist, and deep pockets for accessing pants underneath. Integrated knee pads add durability and comfort for kneeling and prone positions, while ankle bungees and zippers allow easy dressing over any footwear.
Like all Stalker gear, they’re breathable, customizable with crafting loops, and available in Alder and Brown Oak.
“These are basically the suit pants — but upgraded with the features players kept asking for.”
Best Use Case
These pants are ideal for players who:
- Move frequently and change elevation
- Kneel, crouch, or reposition often
- Want to pair with a Viper Hood or Combat Cape
- Need modularity and gear compatibility
Pros
- Standalone product with maximum flexibility
- Integrated knee pads
- Suspenders and belt compatibility
- Easier to layer and customize
Cons
- Full upper + lower concealment requires pairing with other ghillie gear
The Simple Breakdown
If you want the difference explained fast:
-
Full Suit Pants = lighter, simpler, immersive, part of a complete concealment system
- Concealment Pants = more functional, modular, and durable
Choose Concealment Pants if you move a lot, kneel often, and want flexibility.
Choose Full Suit Pants if you commit to staying hidden and want total immersion.
Final Thoughts
Pants alone fix one of the biggest visibility problems players don’t even realize they have — their legs.
Whether you want to go all ghillied up like a classic COD sniper with the Full Suit Pants, or build a versatile, high-performance stealth loadout with the Concealment Pants, both Stalker options deliver elite-level camouflage when used correctly.
At Skirmshop USA, our goal is to help both new and seasoned players maximize their knowledge and build loadouts tailored to their playstyle — not just buy gear blindly.

Built for the long game.
Happy Skirmishing!
