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????

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.

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 😃

I've had the cabelas cover ups jacket and pants for a few years now and find them perfect. I use them The same as you are describing and have not had any issues and they are holding up just fine as well.

I just bought A white top from Cabelas $54. Had to order it in, wasn't in stock. They also sell matching pull over pants. top and bottom lots large enough to go over your regular clothes. Relatively quiet when walking in bush and heavy enough material to stand up for many years.
I tried the painters coverall, not very tough, rip easily and they aren't made to go over heavy outer wear. The military cover ups work but look for ones that are quiet, the harder nylon versions whistle pretty bad in the bush.

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 had a red one for sask deer season.problem is its impossible to access inside pockets for calls bullets etc.
I found old butchers smock worked well.
They have Couple pockets, attached belt with big bulky arms so it could go on and off over heavy winter gear. I not a fan of coveralls for hunting. Making a pit stop is always a challenge.Bib overalls and a coat allow for flexiblity and tempretured control.

I found a set of winter camo cover ups for 50% off at Wholesale sports. Cabelas also had them on for a huge discount.

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
