Clawgear Dual IR Patch NLD RAL7013

The Clawgear Dual IR Patch NLD RAL7013 is a high-quality tactical identification patch specially designed for military, law enforcement and airsoft use. This patch combines visible recognition with advanced IR (infrared) reflection, making it visible both during the day and at night when using night vision goggles.

What is an IR patch?

An IR patch (infrared patch) is a patch that looks relatively neutral under normal light, but reflects strongly when exposed to infrared light (e.g. from night vision goggles or an IR lamp). This allows you to be easily recognised by your own units in the dark, while the patch is barely visible to opponents without night vision goggles. IR patches are popular with professional units, but also with airsoft and milsim players who value realism.

What is an NLD patch?

The designation NLD patch means that the patch has the national identification ‘NLD’, the abbreviation for the Netherlands. This is worn as a distinguishing mark for national units, both during training and operational deployment. In airsoft and milsim, an NLD patch is often used to display your nationality or team identity.
