The '''Infiltration harness''',{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} also called '''Infiltrator harness''',{{Ref/Reuse|Cole}} is an [[Sangheili harness|armor set]] used by [[Special Operations Sangheili|Special Operations]],{{Ref/Game|Id=Reach|HR|gameplay}} [[Stealth Sangheili|Stealth]],{{Ref/Game|Id=CEA|CEA|gameplay}} and [[Sangheili Zealot]]s{{Ref/Reuse|Cole}} of the [[Covenant]]. As its name suggests, it is used for completing infiltration missions.{{Ref/Book|Id=EVG|EVG|Page=59}}

==Overview==
The Infiltration harness is a set that has embedded [[active camouflage]] technology. This ensures the user can turn invisible if required without the need for [[Type-3 active camouflage|external modules]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} If the user has energy shields, once its shields have been lowered, the harness cannot cloak its wearer until the shields have recharged. Compared to the [[Combat harness|Sangheili combat harness]], this harness is sleeker and covers the whole body. The helmet covers the head, and ends downwards with a large [[:Wikipedia:Corinthian helmet|Corinthian]]-like curved projection.

===Usage===
The Infiltration harness was used during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. It was notably donned by [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee and his [[Zealot]] crew in [[2535]] during their mission to [[Metisette]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=Cole|CP|Chapter=29}} [[Special Operations Sangheili]] use either a dark maroon,{{Ref/Reuse|Reach}} black,{{Ref/Reuse|CEA}} or purple harness.{{Ref/Game|Id=HINF|HINF|gameplay}} [[Stealth Sangheili]] use a dominant white harness with red markings.{{Ref/Reuse|CEA}} The harness has a grey skinsuit and turquoise lightings. By [[2560]] [[Spartan-IV]] [[Hieu Dinh]] used a salvaged Infiltration harness shoulder pad on his [[RAKSHASA-class Mjolnir]].{{Ref/Reuse|HINF}}

===Variants===
====Silent Shadow variant====
A heavily modified version of this harness also exists for use by members of [[Silent Shadow]] squads, a division of special operations Sangheili within the Covenant's Special Operations branch, [[Mission to an unidentified moon|during]] and after Human-Covenant War.{{Ref/Comic|Id=tfs|TFS|Story=Hunting Party}} In addition to having a full-faced helmet with a cycloptic visor port, the harness had a chameleonlike feature wherein its coloring seemingly analyzed and adapted to its environment, allowing the base color of the armor to adjust and blend with the background, making it difficult for enemies to focus on the wearer's movements.{{Ref/Anthology|Id=hh|Evo|Story=Headhunters}}

|Spartans who serve tours of duty with the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] have a tendency to adopt their custom of taking war trophies. With UNSC leadership no longer exercising operational control over the Spartans there are few who can censure the practice.
