A uniform signature can be light or dark, and as long as the helmet doesn&#8217;t reflect 100% or 0%, the basic camouflage will generally be effective. Whether a light, dark, or neutral infrared signature is better <strong>depends on the environment<\/strong>. Ideally, you would use a helmet cover that matches the surroundings to complete the camouflage or break up the surface using spray paint or clay paint.<br \/>\nHowever, it\u2019s important to note that EC Paint in olive tends to be quite dark, so it would work best on the Schuberth helmet. For the Busch PROtective helmet, a slightly lighter color would provide the desired contrast. That said, a helmet is much more than just head camouflage. <strong>Protection and comfort <\/strong>should be the top priorities. As recent experiences have shown, camouflage isn\u2019t everything\u2014<strong>recognizing your own forces<\/strong> is equally essential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At this point, I\u2019d like to showcase the color and infrared signature of a Schuberth combat helmet compared to a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":25791,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1809,1932,1824],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-informationen-en","category-infrared-photography","category-kaufentscheidung-en"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ripperkon.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ripperkon.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ripperkon.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ripperkon.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ripperkon.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27026"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ripperkon.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27026\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27246,"href":"https:\/\/ripperkon.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27026\/revisions\/27246"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ripperkon.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ripperkon.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ripperkon.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ripperkon.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
