I wonder if a “cooling suit” of some kind would work. Like a diving suit with a cold layer of some sort.

Or a cloaking umbrella of some kind. There’s got to be a way to defeat these damn IR helicopters!

Like all the ghost hunter shows. Running around with an IR camera, confusing reflections for ghosts.
