Laser Cut 500D MULTICAM® IR Rank Slides — NIR Compliant / 5 Ranks
Built from laser-cut 500D MULTICAM® Cordura with Covert IR Solas, these rank slides are more durable than standard fabric equivalents — and non-reflective in the visible spectrum.
✕ Under NV, Everyone's Just A Silhouette
In the dark, your team can't pick out who's running the show — and an economy-IR rank tab that also shines under a torch defeats the purpose. Gen 3 SOLAS rank slides read clearly through night vision for IFF, stay subdued to the naked eye, and let your team place leadership at a glance without a visible-light signature.
◈ Gen 3 SOLAS IR Retro-Reflective Material
These slides use mil-spec SOLAS IR retro-reflective material — not the economy IR found on cheaper alternatives. Economy IR reflects both visible and infrared light, making it reflective under normal lighting. Gen 3 covert IR reflects only in the infrared spectrum. Under normal lighting it remains visually subdued. When illuminated by the IR emitter of a night-vision device, the material retro-reflects infrared light directly back to the source — clearly visible through NVDs for IFF identification, invisible to the naked eye.
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) marker — it tells friendly NV-equipped viewers who you are, and nothing more.
Infrared-only. Visually subdued. Mil-spec.

Strider designs
Better kit, priced fairly
As our kit has got better, our prices have moved with it. We still come in under most of the market for the same quality, and every Strider design is specced and tested by us before it goes on sale.
Orders ship from New Zealand, so they reach Kiwi customers faster and cheaper than kit ordered from offshore.
