Who makes a good quality medium weight white coverall? I have a pair of heavy weight Cabelas and they are just too bulky and warm. I would like them to be insulated and with or without a hood. Thanks.

No idea? But, I acquired a set of ultralight nylon white camo, my last trip up north. They are Canadian Army surplus and can be warn over just about anything. They have a few random gray stains to make you look like dirty snow. Very versatile. But, I don't know where to get them?
So, you don't want too warm? Never heard of such a thing! I get cold, no matter what, or how much I have on. I do not handle cold weather very well.
Good luck with your search. LB

Try checking out painting supply companys. They might have what you're looking for. Tyvec (sp?) makes a disposable white coverall that would probably last a few times.

Gamehide makes a pull over that i use for snow camo. They did at one time make it in all white . Found it at farm supply cost was about $25.

I'm a surplus and junk guy myself.
I wear "Trousers, Snow, Camouflage, White" US surplus pants over whatever level of warmth I need underneath. A cotton and nylon blend that is water repellent, has a zipper and snap, along with an additional drawstring at the waist and each leg.
The upper 1/2 gets covered with an off-white jacket that I bought at K-Mart in 1980. I wore it for a casual coat for about a year and then relegated it to snow camo exclusively after that.
The coat is still wearing well after 30 years, but it is starting to shrink a bit......
If it is real cold I ditch that and wear an East German surplus snow camo "poncho" over the necessary upper clothing. White with blotches of drab greens and brown.
We just don't get enough snow cover and I don't find myself in enough situations needing snow camo for me to bust loose with enough green to buy any of the new high-tech stuff.

I have what Leonard was talking about and the great advantage of them is you can take them off if the snow leaves. I mean there are times when white is perfect for a set but other times other colors would be better. This makes them versatile and like others stated you just dress for the weather under them.

I wear King's camo. It works well, what I like best about it is that it's water-proof so my ass doesn't get wet from sitting in the snow.

These Canadian surplus white camo is the hot ticket. The label inside says to remove it when not needed and stuff in a pocket. That gives you an idea of how handy and light weight it is, and it's perfect for up here, no doubt about it.
Good hunting. LB
