Preferred predator hunting clothing
 
I have one of those cotton cover ups that I wear over insulated coat/pants but find I get a lot of snow that sticks to it and then melts when driving between stands. Ends up pretty wet by the end of the day. What's everyone else's preference?

I use the ghillie most of the time, even in the snow.

The Canadian Military white nylon cover ups work great as snow does not stick to them plus they are relatively inexpensive.

can you still find them? seems like whenever i stop and look (which i admit hasn't been that often) there are never any available......used to cost about 10 bucks a set and work great.

Frontier firearms has them.
Around $30 a set, if I recall.

What exactly do they call them. I was trying to find them on the Fromtier Firearms website but had no luck.

Winter whites?

Yup that's it. Thanks!

Any of those who owns a set, do you mind measuring pant and sleeve length?

Can anyone who owns a set of Winter Whites measure the length of sleeve (even better neck to end of shoulder and then end of shoulder to end of sleeve) and pant (say, waste to the "foothole")? I will greatly appreciate it!
Thanks for your trouble!

No one?

I have a set from my service. I don’t think that there are sizes like you’d find with civie clothing. The waistband of the pants either fit at your waist or at your armpits depending on your size.....lol. The top fits large as well so it could be worn over a parka without restriction. Everything has draw strings and it’s so light that size isn’t really an issue. When not wearing it we stuffed it in our parka pocket. Nice piece of kit.

My Army Whites are:
Neck (edge of hood) too shoulder = 7"
Shoulder to sleeve cuff = 24"
Waist band to crotch = 16"
Waist (buttoned up) = 38"
Front of jacket (button line) is 36"
Crotch to waist = 16"
Crotch to leg cuff = 29"
Leg cuff " 11" across

I'm 6" with 40" waist and they fit snug over regular pants and shirt and winter jacket.
Your welcome.

Plus it makes you look more handsome, Red. :D

I picked up some snow camo on the weekend, at Wholesale liquidators. Cabelas Thinsulate Open Country snow camo coat and bibs - $65 a piece. Not bad!

J0HN_R1 11-20-2017 12:29 PM

I have the all-white parka & pants from Wholesale Sports (same thing Cabelas has)...

Easy on the bank-account too ! (under $100 for both pants & jacket)

King’s snow shadow bomber parka (very warm) and carhartt beige bibs, or huntshield snow bibs. I also like M2D camo.

Kill suit
 
I usually carry a kill suit in both summer and winter camo. Extremely light weight and get it big enough to cover over whatever coat you are wearing. I also have a homemade kill suit rifle cover in both types of camo as well. I use a turkey hunting vest with built in seat to haul my coyote hunting gear so the kill suit just goes in the big back pocket. Keep it in the back of the truck and im ready to go calling any time no matter what clothes im wearing. A pair of gaiters and a seat goes a long ways to keeping snow off you. I used to carry a colosseum seat with a bungy cord until I found this vest with built in seat.
