Some other points to note:
Half suit or full suit?
By that I mean is the suit just covering the sniper's back (in my terminology, a half suit) and is effective only on the back and when prone. Or is it a full suit with the ghillie cam applied to front and back so that it's effective from any direction when standing, kneeling, prone etc. etc.?
The half suit doesn't weigh as much but is obviously limited in some aspects. The advantage is that it doesn't get in the way when reaching into front pockets or ammo pouches and so on.
With a full suit, you have to reach under the suit to get access to your pockets, pouches and the like.
Not all ghillie suits are heavy, some are made from lightweight materials but no matter what their weight is, they can still have a negative impact on movement because they can snag on twigs, bushes, wire etc. etc. or they might actually restrict movement of your limbs.
You tend to not move fast when wearing a ghillie suit for all these reasons.
It's another aspect of why, as LT Ox pointed out, the sniper will put the suit on only when actually needed and not wear it "all the time".
What season and terrain is the suit designed for?
For example, a generic suit for Europe will likely work well over most terrain types in Europe but a suit designed for arid regions with no greenery is going to have limited effectiveness in a temperate grassland area.
Same deal goes for a suit designed for European winter, it's not going to provide much help in a tropical forest or a mountain pasture at the height of the spring season.
Last of all, and this has been inferred or stated outright by everybody who posted before me, a ghillie suit is NOT a replacement for good fieldcraft and good personal camouflage. It's an aid to those skills but it can't make a clumsy, fast moving oaf into a ninja.
