GhillieTEX™ I.R. Signature Reduction Technology

ITW's original Fastex Side Release Buckles lightened the load of the U.S. Armed Forces over 25 years ago. Today, as technology has added new threats to the battlefield, ITW Fastex^®/Nexus N.A. has accepted the challenge and developed products that both support and protect our troops.

The new GhillieTEX™products offer the cloaking benefits of IR Signal Reduction, increased field durability and the high quality that has become synonymous with Fastex. We, at ITW Fastex^®/Nexus N.A., understand that our troops must trust the equipment they rely on everyday. These products have been designed to enhance survivability in the fierce environment of today's war zones.

We take pride in the support of our troops by providing the specific products and development resources that they require. This dedication is the reason both the Military specifies and top kit manufacturers choose ITW Fastex^®/Nexus N.A.
