Most infantry combat clothing is supposedly hard to detect with I.R equipment , its a pity the squaddie inside it isn't.
Personally I would not like to bet my balls on relying on this particular claim to fame.

Top Tip to avoid FLiR - Don't be anywhere near where they're looking for you.

true there's nothing that could b done. if tshtf and it was a gun ship with flir then my best defence would be to blatantly wave them down sos style. threat gone.

I was thinking more along the lines of movement at night into areas where individuals may have access to N.V , thermal or I.R or , more importantly in my opinion - DOGS.

Coupled with radio comms - the unwary can walk straight into a shitstorm without ever knowing it , also - anyone on the ground with NV or I.R will also know that dogs using their innate abilities with scent can be effective (unless you are aware of how to overcome it) and a dog is a very cheap NV/IR/thermal asset also....
