Snow Arctic White
Arctic White is the pure snow camouflage, essential for alpine and arctic warfare. Minimalist white with light grey shadows, it makes soldiers invisible in snow above 90% coverage. Reversible to Woodland or solid white poncho.

- Pantone: White 11-0601, Grey Cool Gray 2C
- Fabric: Waterproof Gore-Tex, 100% Cotton Overwhite, Nylon Taslan
- Features: Reversible, lightweight, packable, often overwhite suit
- NIR: White reflects NIR - requires special NIR white treatment
Uses
- Terrain: Snow fields, arctic tundra, alpine mountains, winter urban
- Branches: US 10th Mountain, Norwegian, Russian, Canadian Arctic Forces

Why It Works
Pure white matches snow albedo, grey shadows mimic snow texture and footprints. At 50m+ human eye cannot distinguish white suit from snow background.
Care
Wash cold separately, bleach allowed for white, no fabric softener, waterproof versions need DWR reactivation, store clean - dirt makes you visible in snow.
