I'm looking for an all white overcoat to use over my wool camo. I know surplus whites are available, but I'm looking for something softer and quieter. What you guys recommend and where to purchase something like this. I can't find anything out there

Try Acklands for a chemical or painters coat.

Thank you but at this time all they offer from what I can see is XS unless I'm seeing it wrong.
See, I'm a full figured lad, where 2xl so was looking for the same as they are known to run big but thank you for the help!

Camos is secondary. Flashes from shiney gun/scopes and movement is what spooks game.

Natural Gear uninsulated snow camo. Very light and silent. Inexpensive, but long wearing durability. Water resistant, but can be enhanced with proper application of DWR.

Blends with snow textures much better than "whites".

Cabelas used to have snow coverup. I have a set overlaid with sage and another in pure white. Very quiet. Can't find them online tonight.

For Saskatchewan, all white required ( or blaze orange ). I have the camo needed for the weather up there, and just want to cover it up and be legal. Figured white would be better with snow up there

My wife made me a hoodie and pants in a stretchy white fabric.
Works great as snow camp or laying in a spread of snow goose decoys.

Gamehide camo. I've used many brands, surplus and homemade for 50 years and Gamehide is my all time favorite snow camo. It is synthetic so does not stay wet like cotton, no insulation, quiet, and so thin and lightweight that I ball it up in pack or pocket and sometimes don't put it on till I reach my calling stand. I depend on usual cold weather layers for warmth and only want camo from this outer layer, not more insulation though it does add some shell type warmth. It is also good camo, hides me remarkable well. I've had coyotes, bobcats and lynx do a double take and squint at me inside of ten yards.

It is also cheap. I got mine on sale from Sportsman Warehouse but here is a source online to show what it looks like.
