Abstract

Tents with one or more walls for military use that provide protection against modern sight and IR-optical search methods, in which plastic-coated metallized cloth is used as a material for the tent walls and roofs. The outer side of the outermost tent wall is provided with known camouflage paints. The inner side of the outer cloth layer as well as the outsides and insides of the inner cloth layers are provided with only one color that is practically impervious to the infrared portion of the spectrum of about 3 to 20 .mu.m.
