So it turns out that Polar Bear fur, (Polar bears are actually black, only their fur is white), renders them almost invisible to night vision cameras and, as long as the outer surfaces of each hair match their surrounding temperature, almost invisible to infra red cameras as well.
This sounds like
something a Canadian or Russian boy might be able to use.
I propose a winter Cammo Ghillie suit comprised of densely packed tapering fibre optic cables emerging from a Vanta-black coated wool garment.
Wool will help insulate while wicking moisture from the wearer and render such an individual far less likely to be shot during winter combat.

Meanwhile, in an Australian heatwave, when summer
temperatures can stay above 30C all night, it wouldn't take
much to achieve a similar kind of IR invisibility by reducing
apparent body temperature to match ambient. There might
be a tell-tale plume of evaporating coolant, though. Of
course, if you're a crocodile, you tend to match ambient
temperature anyway. |

i had a dream that i saw a Sasquatch and when he
turned sideways his reflective hair looked like a
*mirror* which actually caused him to mirror the
surroundings and made him appear to be invisible. |

Is there an additional mechanism for suppressing body odour ? Polar bears have exquisitely sensitive noses and can detect prey at considerable ranges. |
|
| |
It's not much good being able to hide from human opponents in an Arctic environment if you still get eaten ... |
|

No, but the suit could exude essence of Siberian Tiger urine.
That'd probably do the trick. |
|
| |
It probably would. However, first catch your Siberian Tiger ... |
|
| |
I'm sure there are a few in zoos we can synthesize essence of Siberian Tiger urine from. |

Should even be non-invasive to the captive. |

Hell of a job description to post in the Situations Vacant, though.... "No prior experience necessary, but must have own jug... self-first-aid skills highly desirable... uniform provided with laundry allowance... generous death-in-service benefits... " |

and the the recruitment propaganda just writes itself: |
|
| |
...something something orange is the new black... Black and Orange lives matter... Feline Up!... Nine lives or bust! |
