Wild Things Gear has updated the overwhites they build for use by folks who work in snowy and icy places – this probably comes as no surprise to those folks who’re familiar with their superb line of inclement weather gear.
WTG’s overwhites have seen a number of improvements, as you may be able to see in some of these images from SHOT Show 2020. For instance, the White Out Jacket, which now features pit zips, can be rolled up and stashed away in its hood, and the pants have a newly added zipper running bottom to top on either side. Matching pack and helmet covers can be added to the wearer’s frigid weather ensemble.
The garments are made of 70 denier Nylon ripstop with a DWR treatment, in MultiCAm Alpine or Snow MARPAT (seen below), further finished with a near IR suppressant.
