'''Camo-cloaks''' are hooded cloaks composed of a mesh backing, woven with thousands of ribbons of colour shifting and light-absorbing material,{{Fn|3}} weaved for its durability and ability to help hide the wearer.
The Camo Cloak is coated with an absorbent material called [[Cameoline]] which takes on the colouration of the surroundings giving, the wearer a great deal of individual concealment and when used by elite stealth experts such as Chief Scout Sergeant [[Oan Mkoll]] can give the wearer near perfect concealment.{{Fn|1}}
Such cloaks are commonly used by the [[Tanith First and Only]]. [[Commissar]] [[Ibram Gaunt]] was awarded one of these by the soldiers of the regiment.{{Fn|1}} They are also used by [[Space Marine Scout]]s{{Fn|4}}. On the world [[Pavonis]], '''Camo-Cloaks''' saved Sergeant [[Learchus]] and his [[Scout Squad]] from being discovered by [[Tau]] patrols.{{Fn|2}}
They are also favoured by Deathwatch sharpshooters.{{Fn|3}}
