Want camo for innawoods larping

>Tru spec looks good but still expensive
Is there a decent, comfy, NIR compliant BDU set out there? I want to buy new because a lot of surplus camo glows when veiwed through NV. (For those of you who don't know, using anything but straight borax to clean camo ruins its IR properties. )
I have surplus BDU pants that I like that were $10. I'd be okay with paying a bit more for surplus stuff if it's not faded and doesn't glow.
Flame retardant would be a plus.
Why do you need NIR compliant camo for larping innawoods? Drop the retarded redundant requirements and you'll drop the price
Because I'm autistic and I just want it. It's not like NIR compliant materials are that expensive.
Allegedly, deer and such can see infrared and ultraviolet light.
First of all: Lower your voice
Sorry my queen didn't mean to trigger your ptsd.
Hey dude, stop asking so many fucking questions.
OP here.
Forgot to mention, I want something that's suitable for hot weather.
And your ice cream what flavor do you want that in? Dipshit you are a broke choosy beggar and ehat you want does not exist deal with it. Buy surplus, you are dunning kreuger as fuck and only know half the equation yeah if you wash camo with shit soap you make it bright but it can be undone by more proper washes so just learn how to do that.
I'm not asking because I think I know it all I'm asking because I don't know you retard, you don't need to be a gay about it

>Crye costs a billion dollars
Crye is pretty worth while because of how comfy and durable they are. I got some army custom cryes and they worked ok. Although if you still don't want to spend money, then just get genuine issue military surplus like woodland BDUs, ACUs(OCP) or even MCCUU marpat.
Crye is just not worth it in 2023. It's 300 bucks for the pants nowadays.
Its pretty worthwhile in my opinion. But you can get standard issue uniforms for about $20. At the highest, they can go $80 depending on what you're getting. Fracus or even regular ACUs can go around $20 or $40.
Surplus is contaminated with optical brighteners. You have to buy new.
Then buy a minted surplus. Look at the dates of the contract and see if its fresh out of the woodworks. You can buy MCCUUs and also ACU(UCP, OEF-CP, OCP) with their tags still on.
>Tru spec looks good but still expensive
how poor are you?
Fuck off warriortard
Are you lumping me in with some movement or just calling me retarded?
Just a little poor. ~$100 for pants seams excessive.
Your imagination funtime clothes are going to cost a bit of money. This is a hobby, if it's expensive, just save a little bit longer so the time value diminishes the dollar figure... I.E. Save small for long time for big buy. Is the money better spent on something else? Absolutely. Is it robbing away from actually priorities? Not really. I have a weekly fun budget of a hundred bucks. Instead of spending it all in one week, I let it accumulate until I can get something cool with it.
>Are you lumping me in with some movement or just calling me retarded?
He's saying you're a Russian shill because apparently anything of PrepHole that isn't directly related to the war in the Ukraine is Russian propaganda.
Yeah, redditors are fucking retarded.
You're fucking retarded to not recognize bait. At least the other fag is oblivious, but you're just retarded.
Just wear stained and dirty clothes that are all colors somewhere on the camo spectrum.
Shit stains?
Cum and piss too. Add some mud in there as well
Propper is good. I've had a few of their BDU cuts for close to a decade now as work clothes. Buy the rip stop.
Will look into all of these. Thanks Anons
Yup, if you're looking in to buyout ACUs/MCCUU, you can easily buy them with their tags still on on ebay or other 2nd hand sellers.
I know 5.11 Stryke pants probably don't have any IR properties and they don't come in camouflage patterns, but I just can't get away from the fucking things. Everything else I've owned binds like a mother fucker and tears eventually. Haven't gone up to Crye or the most Gucci brands, but as far as the baseline market stuff, it's been the most comfortable.
>I know 5.11 Stryke pants
5.11 pants have Teflon embedded into the fabric. Stay away,
>shitting yourself so often you need soil-resistant teflon coatings on your pants
do they sell these at walmart or something
I've seen 5.11 at Bass Pro and pretty much every tactishartmart. They're the hot garbage brand of the tactical industry. Their pants are made with planned obsolescence in mind, so they rip every year and the fst lazy detectives wearing them have to use more uniform allowance money to buy new ones. Stay the fuck away from 5.11 regardless of ball shrinking chems, everything they make is just shit quality.
Don't worry about it. It's something that's being done briefly before digital night vision takes over and it becomes a useless practice. It's expensive and barely masks you from NV, and if someone is looking for you at night that has NV they're going to see you anyway since it barely does shit. Don't fight against an NV equipped enemy at night. Get whatever the fuck pants you want because as soon as a competent country starts looking into digital NV it's going to become cheap and formidable.
I like the army custom cryes. Its pretty flexible and the pockets are convenient. Not to mention it has ripstop fabric, meaning its light weighted.
Check Walmart!
I was suprised that walmart sell ACUs.
You want supergrade/unissued bongsurp PCS trousers (tropical).
To state the fucking blindingly obvious, if you can afford to spend ten thousand fucking dollars on night vision you can pay for $300 pants
I don't think he wants to hide from his own night vision I think he wants to hide from people with night vision.
What makes something NIR compliant? Do they spray it with a bunch of impotence causing chemicals that will come off in the wash anyway?
stay G'd up from the feet up young larper. most of us were washing our shit with tide ultra and ignoring nir all through gwot. you want to be a killer, be one. fuck nir. and fuck the cops. oif 03-04, 07-08, 10-11. you don't need to disappear to kill mother fuckers. you just need to see them first. get nvg's and thermals and be proficient. These fat out of shape pigs don't even larp that hard. kill them all.
I can't afford NVGs. I don't think most of taliban or AQ could either
if you can't afford NODs, why the fuck are you worried about NIR compliant gear that you can't afford either? don't give me bullshit about deer seeing infrared because dudes have been killing deer in regular clothes for millions of years. It's called sitting still and being quiet
I'm worried about other people who may have NODs. I want to do everything I can to not be detected by people with NODs.
>I'm worried about other people who may have NODs. I want to do everything I can to not be detected by people with NODs.
Move around only during the daytime, until you save enough money to buy NIR clothes.
NIR gear aren't even expensive lmao unless you're talking about gucci shit like crye
He doesnt want the 40 dollar army issue nir fr shirt bro, it has to look exactly like crye because reasons!
Yea, not sure why people don't just get the cheap surplus shit thats already been made for NIR stuff. I understand crye is high quality, but its something to buy when you have extra money.
You’re gonna need NODs yourself too then, or stay the fuck inside at night
>stay G'd up from the feet up young larper. most of us were washing our shit with tide ultra and ignoring nir all through gwot. you want to be a killer, be one. fuck nir. and fuck the cops. oif 03-04, 07-08, 10-11. you don't need to disappear to kill mother fuckers. you just need to see them first. get nvg's and thermals and be proficient.

>I can't afford NVGs. I don't think most of taliban or AQ could either
Have you tried not being poor.
i like my tru spec
when i was almost 300 pounds they still didn’t fall apart instantly at the thighs like most pants
now that i am a normal human and not a blob i have full trust in my tru spec for hunting and camping
Ocp scorpion pants off ebay $75
Thats the crye pockets one, which is just regular multicam depending on its manufacturing date.
Should still be NIR though right?
Yea, because its still made for the military, though its probably made between 2012-13. You can get cheaper ones for $40
Yes, but you can buy one without the crye slots, which will save you a bit of money. Unless you want to have one with the crye slots. Although, that would mean you have to buy crye knee pads, which is $20.
I have gotten the surplus Custom field pants for like $65 on eBay, but they come out in waves.
Cryes? It really depends. But for U.S. army surplus shit, they can range from $20-$100 depending on the type of pants. What the anon got is a flame resistant combat pants with crye slots used by the army. Those things are pricier than regular ACUs/FRACUs.
I gave my M81 jacket to a homeless guy a few years back. I still seem him wearing it. It makes me happy every time I see my jacket keeping him warm.
Good jacket.
Wholesome
Nice.
Crye does literally everything you want just save the money moron
I washed my m81s with tide is there any way I can remove the optical enhancers from the fabric so I don't glow in the dark under NV or are they ruined?
Just join the army, retard. Four quick years and you keep to keep your camo uniforms.
Or you can buy surplus from ebay.
