Although Dickie’s wasn’t the only brand at Outdoor Retailer Winter Market to feature these reflective prints on their garments, this was the best example I had seen. Think safety and not camouflage.
Now, consider designators printed into fabric which only reflect certain bands of light, only visible with the assistance of night vision or thermal devices.
Similar to the Army’s reflective camouflage print PT jackets?
Yes, same tech
This is promising seeing this tech being adopted more. Nike was one of the first (IIRC) to start using this tech back in 2012 (look at the Olympic jackets) and always figured it was a smart idea.
My first takes is I want to smack the hat straight on the mannequin’s head. Guess I’m not the target audience.
I’m 100% with you on that. First thing I noticed and I couldn’t really get past it. I’m petty, I know.
Cool jacket, but is Dickies trying to reach out to the d-bag demographic?
Now image mixing this technology with russian reflective/safety yellow armbands used by CT units, and posibbility of changing alignment like Combat Identification Panels on vechicles.
