If you are stuck short term you can buy the oversize disposable painting coveralls with hoody at a dollar store or Princess Auto

We need photos of you modeling them rwm1273.
I've done quite a few searches, and winter camo, at least white enough for our current conditions, is tough to find! Bass Pro has nothing.
....and Merry Christmas back atcha!

Me too. Bought it back in Oct. Bibs and parka. White camo doesn't stay on the shelves very long. Nothing special......Remington made in China...........it's Walmart.

I bough King's Snow Shadow bibs and a parka from Swamp Donkey Outdoors. I couldn't be happier with the pattern, warmth and price.

Camo
I was leaning towards the king camo, they currently have a special on a complete set for 249. Just debating before the purchase is done.

A set of white coveralls from a workwear store will fit the bill.
Check out the military surplus stores as well. They often have white cover suits.
A cover suit will let you layer for many conditions.

White painting paper suits work really well. A couple bucks from Home Depot, just get the two or three sizes bigger for all the layers youll put on under them

I picked up a pants and jacket set from Cabelas on-line last year for walk in coyote hunting. (Waterproof-Canadian-Coverup)
Over all, warm, waterproof and windproof but........wish the pants were bib type. The pants just seem to hang down and bulk up and generally uncomfortable using a belt and clip on suspenders.
Having a pant and jacket combo is more useful to me opposed to a one piece as it allows me to shed the jacket for walking/snowshoeing.

Cabalas Edmonton has whole layout just as you walk in the door. Next to the piles of Bradley smokers.
Winter camo can be tricky.
White clean camo does not look good.
Dirty looking Grubby looking white camo seems to fit the bill better.
Just because the camo might be dirty looking, keep the human stink out. OK we all know that.

I find that the army coverup suit is the only way to go. The material sheds snow, is light weight and the smock without pants does the trick for me very well. Been with this arrangement for over 20 years.

Yup, those are them. I bought mine last year after the hunting season. Got them on sale. I had to drive to every store until I found ones that would fit.
They are packed away until next hunting season, and my wife won't let me bring them out since she packed the closet.
I ordered my son a set off EBAY a few days ago. Got a great deal, but will have to see once they get here.

The King's stuff is quiet.( The bibs and parka anywayay) I also have the King's light cover up pants and jacket, but they are kind of noisy and don't breathe that well.
I had the military cover up suits before. They blend well and are affordable7 but noisy as well.

Polar Fleece
I went to a local fabric shop and bought some white polar fleece; BTW they have a good polar fleece selection in several camo patterns.
I had the misses use an old pair of my sweat pants and a sweat top as a pattern. She had my winter camo made in no time at all. Draw strings for all the openings.
I pull them over my clothes and they add warmth as well.
I am an XL, and in days gone by my first winter set was a set of white XXXL flannel pajamas. The misses hemmed the sleeves and legs.
Laugh as you may, they worked; were quiet; and about $15.00 in a clearance bin......
Good luck.

WOW! that's a great price for a great piece of gear. I have several sets that I have my clients use when they come in for predator hunts. Fits large so you can wear over your regular winter clothing and is nylon and very light weight. Sheds the snow and stays dry.

What kind of support is that? I have never seen something like that before. Looks like it is fully adjustable.
