Generation III NIR Compliant Kiwi Patch — Milspec 500D / IR Solas Kiwi identity that performs after dark. The Generation III MULTICAM® Kiwi IR Patch is milspec laser-cut from 500D Cordura with full NIR compliance and IR Solas reflectivity — the same construction standard as Strider's NZ IR Flag, in a compact 75mm Kiwi format. ✕ If It Reflects Under White Light, It's Not Covert Economy "IR" patches shine under any bright light, so the marker meant to identify you to friendly NVDs also flags you to anyone with a torch. Gen 3 SOLAS covert IR reflects in the infrared only — subdued to the naked eye, sharp through night vision. Covert when it needs to be, identifiable when it counts. ◈ Gen 3 SOLAS IR Retro-Reflective Material Uses mil-spec SOLAS IR retro-reflective material. Economy IR materials reflect both visible and infrared light — they can appear reflective under normal lighting conditions. Gen 3 covert IR reflects only in the infrared spectrum, remaining visually subdued to the naked eye. When illuminated by the IR emitter of a night-vision device, the material retro-reflects infrared light directly back to the source — identifiable through NVDs for IFF, with no visible-light signature. It won't give your position away. This is strictly infrared-reflective SOLAS — not a generic 3M reflective product. It returns a signature only when it is both viewed through a night-vision device and hit by an IR light source, retro-reflecting straight back to that emitter. It does not glow in the dark. It's an IFF (identification friend-or-foe) panel — it tells friendly NV-equipped viewers who you are, and nothing more. Infrared-only. Visually subdued. Mil-spec.
