Default 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.

Plus it makes you look more handsome, Red.

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!

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.

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

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!
