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 name="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 [[Sangheili combat harness]], this harness is sleeker and covers the whole body. The helmet covers the head, and ends downwards with a large curved projection.

Special Operations Sangheili use either a dark maroon<ref name="Reach"/> or black harness.<ref name="CEA"/> Stealth Sangheili use a dominant white harness with red markings.<ref name="CEA"/> The harness has a grey skinsuit and turquoise lightings.

 

A heavily modified version of this harness also exists for use by elite SpecOps units. It has a thin visor rather than two eyeslits.<ref name="Headhunters">'''[[Headhunters (short story)|Headhunters (motion comic)]]'''</ref>

It was notably used by [[Thel 'Vadamee]] and his crew in [[2535]] during their mission to [[Metisette]].<ref name="Cole">'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''pages 197-198''</ref> The modified version of this armor was used by SpecOps units that set a trap to [[Spartan-III]] [[Headhunters]] during their [[Mission to an unidentified moon|mission]] to a Covenant-occupied [[Unidentified moon (Headhunters)|moon]].<ref name="Headhunters"/>
