Let me try to clarify.

The photos represent several types of webbing, Solution Dyed, Printed (on a solution dyed base) and Piece Dyed. Of course the background fabric is Multicam which meets NIR Specs.

The Multicam Printed webbing is made to meet NIR Specs just like the fabric.

Solution Dyed webbing (and Cordura) is inherently NIR compliant “out of the box” so to speak. So dirty or clean it doesn’t really matter. Unless of course you get it dirty with a non NIR substance.

Piece dyed webbing may or may not be. In the case of the photo we used a piece of webbing that we knew was not to show the difference. As you can see it stands out from the rest.

Getting a non NIR textile “dirty” may reduce it’s signature that is until the dirt washes off. It isn’t a permanent solution.

so in other words once it’s dirty the solution dyed will look just like the non-solution dyed correct?

Getting it dirty will only enhance it’s NIR blending properties. Actually that goes for Non-NIR textiles too. The purpose of the spec for military textiles is so that it blends with the natural environment. Dirt is part of that.

The plastic buckle request is vague but I can tell you is it s a regular black piece of hardware it is not going to meet NIR spec if it is Ghillietex it will. Pics are all over the net of this. I think Military Morns did a series of photos on this a couple years ago.

your review is exactly the info i was looking for, but fell a bit short. all that product looks to be new stock. could you get it all dirty and take another ir picture? maybe include some fastex buckles as well. or send me some samples and i’ll do it?
