Swedish Army M62 Snow Camo Suit

I needed a lightweight outer layer for cold weather camping in dry conditions. This fit the bill. Haven’t used it in the field yet, but I know others who have and it comes highly recommended

These are very nicely designed simple over-garments. Ostensibly for concealment in snow, they are actually a shade of grey, not quite white, but will work pretty well in that application in a mixed landscape. Where they excel is as a wind layer for very cold dry climates- they are highly breathable, loose fitting, works well over a thick wool sweater for active wear. I last wore my set with a wool layer underneath for snowshoeing when it was in the teens and windy. The jacket has a kind of basic, reduced quality that makes it stylish, large buttons and pockets that will hold mittens, hat, etc.; these are reminiscent of the old fashioned ventile cotton arctic parkas. Yes, a bit retro, but a nice change from woodland type camo or the newer hyper-colored, super technical expedition shells.
