looks great
lightweight and oversized to fit over winter clothing, sufficiently adjustable for my twink build or a -much- larger person
Dating all the way back to the 60s, "Schneetarn" (Literally snow camouflage) is designed specifically to be used in very snowy terrain. The added "pine needle" splotches break up the white backdrop allowing for concealment in the likely scenario that the wintery wonderland you're hiding in isn't 100% snow-covered. It's surprisingly simple for the Germans, but it works wonders.
Featured here on "overwhites", the idea is that soldiers can throw these garments over the top of all the rest of their gear, so a full additional set of winter-camo-colored kit isn't needed. The fabric is lightweight, and the fit is oversized for maximum mobility.
and if it gets even snowier, the garment is fully reversible to a full-white pattern so you can haunt your enemies like a yeti...

Sizing
These follow the standard Bundeswehr sizing system but keep in mind, they are VERY oversized to fit over as much equipment as possible. You'll base your selection off of your chest size, but for easy reference:
Bundeswehr Size | US Size | Height (cm) | Chest Circumference (cm) |
Size 2 | XL Short | 160-170 | 100-110 |
Size 3 | L Regular | 170-180 | 95-105 |
Size 4 | XL Regular | 170-180 | 105-115 |
Size 5 | L Long | 180-190 | 90-100 |
Size 6 | XL Long | 180-190 | 100-110 |

Best camo if you live near Canada and have pines and snow in your area
Very good
Probably dating myself a little bit, but I’ve wanted a set of this camo since I first saw it in the US cavalry catalog in the early 90s. Well built, well thought out and a very effective pattern (I have the poncho already). Can’t wait to try it out this winter!
Very cool addition to your kit. Fits over my large-tall M81 cold weather jacket with room to spare for gear (I ordered a size 4 schneetarn suit). The trousers are easy to put on over existing clothing. Haven’t tested to see how water repellent they are… but nice and light outer layer for camouflage.
