Tis the season for snow camo

[Flecktarn92]

In your guys opinion what country has the best winter camouflage uniforms?
Personally i like the German Wehrmacht over coats and the USMC digital.

lol. kinda funny looking, CADPAT WO (Winter Operations). I don't think they've made it official though.

Finland, without doubt.

[ARGAR FORKBEARD]

how about plain WHITE!!!

[lupus]

Bundeswehre, plain white with just a few additions.

[Rynnäkkökivääri]

Snow is never really all plain white though, so unless you're standing in an open field there's gonna be a need for some splotches. I like the Finnish M05 and USMC MARPAT snow camo.

[Don Cossack]

Just do like the GI's did in WWII. Procure a few bedsheets from the nearest fraulein and wrap it around yourself and your helmet. Add mud splotches as necessary. Instant winter camo!

i could only find one zoomed out pic of winter marpat, anyone got any good pics? i had never heard of it before today.

Oh plain white is enough alright - nobody in a snowy wood or battleground has ever stood out in plain white. Just look at all those WWII pics or try to spot the guy in a white jacket next time you go skiing. But a few blotches of grey, dark green or off-white probably help a little bit to break up the shape of the soldier, and besides it provides easier unit recognition for cooperating armies such as NATO forces.

Disruptive Overwhite Garment (USMC snow camo)
USMC began to issue the uniform in November 2007.
The Disruptive Overwhite Garment weighs no more than 0.65 lbs each and can be self stowed in a 6in. x 9in. pocket. With high tear strength in each direction, the cloth has a water repellent treatment durable to 50 laundering cycles, low air permeability, good drapeability, soft hand for low noise signature when moving, and is opaque to prevent woodland MARPAT undergarment strike through that diminishes the snow camouflage cover.

That snow marpat is amazing.

Will now have to scour the net for any 'second hand sets' cough cough.

[triggerhappy15]

That's some sick looking camo.

[pekka elo]

x4 on the Finnish one.
Some may think it's too high contrast, but it's meant for a for the typical Finnish terrain, a snowy forest.

Try to count the soldiers in this pic and you'll maybe get the point: http://tietokannat.mil.fi/rovajarvi208/include/thumbnail.php?id=43&width=640

If he wants to stay out of sight, it might be smart to lose the woodland camo headgear...:bash:

[Rynnäkkökivääri]

That's a reversed woodland camo head cover from the old M91 uniform, there's a hood on the suit though so if he was in real combat/training he could put the hood up. When you're taking a break from an exercise there's no real need to be 1337 tacticool. And the real problem in that pic IMO would be the two guys with no helmets.

[Trenk]

is it possible to buy it somewhere? Sure it is perfect...

You mean the Finnish M/05 snow camo suit? I don't think there's genuine ones for sale since the FDF decided not to sell M/05 to civilians.

The only option is probably to convince some conscript to "lose" his snow suit, but that might be difficult for you :)

[Rynnäkkökivääri]

Didn't one guy get busted recently for selling one on Ebay?

IIRC he tried to sell the M05 cold weather jacket, meaning this:

[Kap]

A Polish person just sold a complete M05 uniform on Ebay around last week for 149 USD I believe.

[Rynnäkkökivääri]

Yeah I've seen those, not official FDF issue, just a copy of the pattern. And WAY to overpriced for what they are.

[dersammler]

i saw it too. but it was a copy? copies suck...

i saw it too. but it was a copy? copies suck...

As far as I know textile was original... at least from original producer.
More interesting is that people are hunting for unique peaces of it with printing errors :)

[coolusername]

My apologies for bringing up a old post, but is there a place to buy any snow camo online, or in store? I am looking to buy some, thanks.

It´s pretty problematic, you can get mostly old german cotton ones which looks great but sucks(that´s why they replaced them) and also you can get russian ones on splav.ru, bu they got no pockets which sucks either... italians, todays germans, swiss, swedish, finnish etc. got cool stuff, but very problematic to get for example used goods for cheap price

[STEPAN1983]

In Splav snow suits and ghillie suits you have a through openings instead of pockets, so you can gain access to your webbing or vest under the suit. This openings are wide and located on the right and left sides of chest.

Always a fan of the M90 winter, which is issued to the Swedish SF...that bloke sure does love his job, with his special ninja-leap!

[Lasse]

Plain white, and just use the flora around you and smugde it, works great.

I like that turkish guys... If they would get some white paint or tape on weapons, it would look perfect. I am posting some french camo (repost, but it fits here well)
