I was fortunate enough to spend 1965 in Alaska (Mountain Infantry) and on my free time did alot of winter hunting all over the State. Military overwhites were standard issue and as far as winter hunting affords the least expensive snow camo in my opinion. Spent all of 1966 in Vietnam as a LRRP, different ground hunting all together. Overwhites are a great addition to your winter garb.

Thank You for your service .I found white painters coveralls . Works great .Buy one size larger to go over heavy clothing . White Tyvek suit works too . Your suit looks much warmer .

Thank you for your service! And that is a good looking garment.

Interesting.

I'm not of the mind that snow camo is really necessary.

But of course wear whatever makes you happy and comfortable.

The good thing about snow camo is you can use anything white and it wont break the bank.I use white sweat pants and white sweatshirt and white stocking cap and home made white facemask.

Thanks for your service.

I've had some very successful/enjoyable late season hunts in snow dressed in white. The deer can just look "through" you.

Nat Gear had a snow pattern that incorporated black "squiggles" for lack of the appropriate term onto the white field. I feel that any white clothing would do, and just add a few blasts of black spray paint to imitate the shadows found in nature.

The problem that I see with Tyvek suits, having worn them for work in abatement situations, is that they don't breathe, so you will sweat, and you don't want that in winter, and two, they are noisy, in dead silence, any movement sounds like 10 bags of Doritos getting dug into by hungry 8th graders!

Thank you, and all of our Veterans here for your service to our country. That does look like a great winter garment, I love the long length to give extra protection to the lower back/kidney area.

I believe snow camo is 100 percent necessary, if you hunt in the snow. Once that snow hits the ground, the contrast has been turned on its head...... having that white in your mix really pulls together your ability to blend in.
The overwhites are awesome. Only complaint I’d have is lack of water repellent? Think that can be worked around though. I’ve always liked the German winter flectarn ponchos as well. Used to be short money and everywhere .... not so much anymore. I have a winter poncho ghillie that LOOKS perfect, but it can be a PITA because it is netting bases and it catches on nearly everything. I don’t like it.

Whitepainters bibs and a white hoodie. Take one of the super fat sharpies and draw branches on them.

I like the two pieces so that I can mix and match with regular camo depending on the amount of snow we have.

Snow Camo is a great tool for the bowhunter. I had 50 deer pass by me at less than ten yards before getting a shot at this guy. Not one of them even turned their head in my direction. It is the closest I have ever been to being invisible. Predator winter white is what Im wearing and it is about as good as it gets in the correct conditions... Not sure if its still made.

Man I miss those days...

I think it speaks for itself....

I have an insulated parka and bib pants that are reversable. Snow camo on one side and mossy oak on the other. I have hardly ever used the snow camo side. I need to start using the snow camo more when the snow flies.

ASAT works fine for me in the snow for archery.

*If* I rifle hunt though I usually just wear a red/black plaid wool coat.

i picked this jacket up at a surplus place for 4 bucks each, i got 3 and gave one away to a cousin. they were med. so i used two to make one that would fit over heavy clothes. have not had a chance to use it in some time.

No camo works as good as snow camo its like Brian said you are almost invisible. Ive used it for more than 40 years. I think Brian Beeman has snow camo on his mustache and beard !
