Default Reccomendations for winter white camo shell???

Been looking for a winter white (very lightweight) jacket and pant shell. I have quality hunting clothing and don't want to replace all of it just to get it in white. Been looking around for something un-insulated, but nothing seems to be around except for very heavy ex-military stuff......anyone have any reccomendations????

Insulator coveralls, paper/ wax type, $15.
Use them gutting too, then toss them.

I'm surprised that pic of the fellow in the white wedding dress hunting hasn't appeared yet.

I have used military surplus nylon whites for years. Tough lightweight and not priced too bad. I have my clients use them if they need snow camo when we call coyotes. It is large and wears over regular winter hunting clothes. I got mine from G.I. Jen's in Lethbridge. I think she sells online as well. Oh yeah it sheds the snow.

A white bed sheet with a hole cut into it like a poncho works well. Cheap and easy.

Default Ebay

I bought 3 sets (pants and jacket) of military winter camo off eBay. Very light weight nylon material. Easy to slip over existing warm weather gear. Cheap too 😃

A flour sack with eye-holes to finish the look.

Same here, available on line as well if you google. Princess Auto used to sell similar German army ponchos with some green blotches thrown in.

I find most commercially available winter camo to dark. So I went to value village and found some pure white sweat pants and hoodie, nice and cheap.

I have tried a few different items from white sweats some to the tyvek coveralls I recently purchased a set of "leafy" white camo off amazon. I found Comercial winter camo to be too dark but my white sweats were too white and I looked like a blob out on the field. This new stuff while it is just all white the "leafy" texture gives it dimension and shadow. It is built on a mesh so it will pull over whatever coat/pants I'm wearing at the time. Rolled up it fits in a pocket Google winter ghilly and check out all the different types/styles
