So this got posted a while ago:

While trying to understand why snowballs don't break Ghillie Mantle when weapon attacks and Slinger shots do, a friend tested throwing the boomerang while wearing Ghillie and found that doesn't break it either.

The rune Geralt gives you after he beats the Leshen does break Ghillie however.
