IRR-compliant tactical gear is made from fabrics that reduce infrared signature, allowing soldiers to remain undetected under night vision. Yakeda supplies IRR gear that meets NATO and military tender standards.
– Definition: IRR = Infrared Reflective, essential for modern camouflage
– Procurement: Required in NATO and international military tenders
– Yakeda Solution: Verified IRR fabrics with full OEM/ODM capabilities
– Applications: Tactical vests, plate carriers, backpacks, pouches
What Is IRR Compliant Tactical Gear?
IRR stands for Infrared Reflective. IRR-compliant tactical gear is manufactured using materials that minimize visibility under night vision devices (NVDs). This includes:
– Specially treated fabrics
– IR-compliant webbing, straps, and fasteners
– Camouflage patterns matched for IR stealth
When IRR gear is exposed to infrared scanning — commonly used in surveillance and combat — it reflects less light and heat, reducing the soldier’s visibility to the enemy.
Why IRR Is Crucial in Military Procurement
In modern warfare and tactical operations, night dominance is critical. Forces that operate in low-light environments need to avoid detection by:
– Night vision goggles (NVGs)
– Thermal scopes
– Drone-mounted IR cameras
Hence, IRR compliance is a mandatory specification in many government and NATO-aligned military tenders.
Failure to meet IRR specs can disqualify bids, or worse — put operators at risk in real-world missions.
IRR Standards & NATO Tender Requirements
IRR compliance is not just a feature — it’s a technical standard.
Typical NATO tender specs include:
– IRR value tests under near-infrared spectrum (700–900nm)
– Fabric matching with environmental camouflage
– Uniform compliance (vest + pouches + helmet cover + pack)
At Yakeda, we source from IRR-certified fabric mills and provide:
– Lab test results on IRR compliance
– Color-matched solutions for Multicam, Woodland, Coyote Brown, etc.
– IRR consistency across product batches
