ProApto is an Italian-rooted brand formally established in 2015. ProApto specializes in the production of three-dimensional and multispectral individual camouflage (VIS - NIR - SWIR - MWIR - LWIR).
"Nemo propheta in patria sua", like the greatest Italians as Mazzini, Garibaldi, Giordano Bruno and Enrico Fermi, most of ProApto personnel is exiled abroad to pursue high quality developments with no compromises on efficiency and ethics. ProApto headquarter is in Hibernia (Ireland), close to the Wicklow Mountains, which, together with the Italian peninsula, is the most frequent ground for field tests and product validation.
people
ProApto team is strongly multidisciplinary, comprising academic neuroscientists, former military officers, QA specialists, graphic designers, photographers, and highly skilled artisans and tailors. Together they are the driving force behind its state-of-the-art camouflage systems.
ProApto is also directly connected to academic researchers in the field of neuroscience, mathematic and chemistry. Regular interactions with active-duty military and law enforcement operators are maintained to ground product development in real-world requirements.
patented IP
ProApto indipendently developed and patented Multispectral Camouflage technology based on textile properties and nano-treatments. This is the first and the only Italian Patent for thermal camouflage. The Italian Patent passed the international examination and is currently pending worldwide.
ProApto Intellectual property in matter of multispectral camouflage ranges from 2D to 3D patterns covering multispectral individual and vehicle solutions, protecting simultaneously across the VIS, NIR, SWIR, MWIR and LWIR wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. Development is continuous new assets are in creation.
what we do
ProApto offers the widest choice of 3D camouflage across the world, and it is the only company to develop standardized three-dimensional camouflage patterns based on world climate classification back in 2015.
Currently, ProApto offers n.12 3D camouflage patterns and n.18 2D camouflage patterns covering all biomes worldwide.
Each product is developed and personally tested in the environment of use by ProApto personnel and then validated with ProApto collaborators. Developments and tests are carried out in multiple environments and are accompanied by data gathering and subsequent statistical analyses.
manufacturing
ProApto produces entirely in Italy all its products ensuring high quality craftmanship and quality control.
Ghillie Suit production is crafted by skilled artisans in Rome while multispectral camouflage is produced either by Italian tailors or a partner Italian company for industrial production. Industrial production is performed under ISO 9100 D which is the highest standard for aerospace and defense manufacturing. The average production capacity is around 360 items per month.
Raw materials are sourced 60% from Italy, 25% from Europe and 15% from Asia. Product certifications and testing are carried out in Italy according to European laws.

Over a decade of activity ProApto products reached over 800 individual customers across the five continents and also multiple military units within the NATO alliance. Military personnel, prepared civilians, patriots, hunters, academics and wildlife photographers are the figures who benefited the most from acquiring ProApto products.
neuroscience
Part of ProApto's revenue funds high-level academic research in human neuroscience. The main topics revolve around neurodegeneration prevention, cognitive enhancement and visual perception.
Members of ProApto team are academic PhDs affiliated at Trinity College Dublin - Institute of Neuroscience, and uses ProApto donations to study the environment-brain-behaviour interactions for scientific advances.
