Real protection from thermal imagers, like a poncho = worn on yourself, or stretched like a screen in front, like a roof on top. face and back = oxford multicam, in the middle there is a specialized vapor barrier made of foil. 150cm X 280cm (140cm = perfectly covers the legs from below)

Advantages:

Really cannot be penetrated by thermal imagers from any working distance (tested with both a thermal imaging sight and different thermal imagers)

There are some nuances about how thick an aluminum vapor barrier should be installed.

For snipers at a distance of 200 meters further, a vapor barrier density of 80 is sufficient; for them, it was more important that it was quieter and easier.

To cover yourself in the trenches, an even thinner ~ 60 density is enough, because you won’t press the poncho against the body and there will be air movement.

But for sentries, miners, drone operators, medics... + we add shoulder pads made of foam rubber so that there is air movement. And we set the denser vapor barrier to 110.

This is ideal for camouflage at a distance of 100m (in winter and from 30-40 meters there is complete protection, but in summer it is better to stay at 100 meters).

For reconnaissance = it is necessary individually based on the task, but more often we do it more closely than usual.

Attention!
