"The snow camouflage white parka is made from a lightweight, white nylon filament, water repellant treated cloth. The parka has a snap fastener front closure, storage pouch, elastic wrists, and drawcords at the waist, hood, and bottom. The parka is used as a camouflage outer layer in snow terrain, and is not a substitute for the parka, cold weather, camouflage. The snow camouflage white trouser is also made from a lightweight, white nylon filament, water repellant treated cloth. The trousers have front pass-through pockets, cargo pockets with flaps, suspender loops, inside button tabs for attaching a button-in liner, slide fastener openings on legs, a waist drawcord, storage pouch, and elastic cord at leg bottoms.

QUESTION: Where can I get this? Is it goretex?

[Apogee]

the snow camo i've worked with has always been a white cotton over pant and jacket. It is worn over some warmer and more waterproof material.

"parka is made from a lightweight, white nylon filament, water repellant treated cloth" Is goretex made of nylon?

[GearGod]

Goretex is waterproof like nylon. Im also guessing goretex feels like nylon too. Just my "hypothesis" if you will HAHAHAHAA

www.sportmansguide.com is selling off a set of new British snow camo suits for about $10.00 (plus shipping). Large only.

I guess that a white cotton oversuit is the same wherever you are, or get them from.

Here is the link:

Though the German suits feel a little bit heavier (and have the deep winter forest reversible pattern on the other side)

(I have absolutely nothing to do with the above mentioned store, etc, etc, etc.)

I forgot to mention something about the last link.

I once spent about three hours in the snow (through a forest) trying to travel fast wearing a similar snow "poncho" (off last link). Forget it. I fell a few times. Too many "feet in the poncho" and snow and really cold barrel in the face. :-)

I guess the poncho is for carrying in a pack and used to cover a hasty position.

http://shop.sportsmansguide.com/smg/cb/cb.asp?p=WX2&i=63996 the fabric seems quite thin dont you think? You would actually see a trace of your insulating 2nd layer of woodland nyco twill cold weather BDUs under them.. I wonder if thats the same stuff US military uses.. And their version doesnt look too good either

[Ariete]

I have a german snow camo bdu... is not goretex...

i play soft air with it on the snow and it is very good....
