Can't help unfortunately but I just wanted to add a mini-rant about the racks and racks of camo clothing in Bass Pro with large, bright, white or orange logos. What's the point?
Remember you can layer a thin snow camo layer over existing warm clothes. Gives you a bit more flexibility in your search.

hahaha!
I have some snow camo stuff......... it works ok......
I have also had does and fawns get within 10 feet as I was sitting still on a deadfall while wearing blaze orange....... movement and scent means more than a fancy outfit IMOP..........
That being said, if you are hunting coyote or turkey (obviously nobody hunts turkey in winter), you need to be colour correct......
In the past, I have been successful on coyote wearing a tyvek suit over my regular hunting clothes.....

Try Canadian tire. I use the Yukon gear overalls and jacket for my winter hunting. It's reversible mossy oak to snow camo and does a nice job with layering. Picked it up to try out a few years ago during one of their 65% off sales.

Thanks for that - I've been looking for those!
I've never seen it in kids sizes, have you???
I just ordered those the other day, haven't got them yet. Didn't see them with the free bag though!

Hmmm... very good question, I have never really noticed. I spent most of my time trying to see if XL or 2XL is the way to go.
I have lots of camo for the different seasons including snow camo. Its my opinion that better dollars are spent getting just a white or snow camo outer shell pants and jacket ( or coveralls ) to cover over an already good quality jacket. This is also the same idea that the military uses instead of buying multiple cold weather parkas, and it rolls up and packs small for when you need it.
One buddy who is extra tall and has difficulty finding his size just bought a large white cotton smock and pants, and painted it to winter camo with black and brown paint to a similar winter camo pattern of a purchased jacket. He hides just as good as the guys with expensive winter camo clothing.

I buy kids hunting clothes from thrift stores. Red/white fleece tops and sweats in sizes that go over their winter clothes are cheap and usually easy to find.
Buying hunting clothing for the kids can get expensive when they will grow out of it in a year.
Go get a cheap white sheet and make a pancho to put over your current warm outdoor clothing or the kids snowsuit.

Take a spray can and add a few lines of grey, black, green, brown, whatever your area calls for. Or get fancy and grab some cedar/pine/spruce branches and spray overtop of them like a stencil
Make it a fun project to do with the kids.

I invested in the full line from Arctic Shield. Incredible stuff and as far as off the shelf camo clothing goes, probably the best money I've eve spent.
I use it for hunting and ice fishing, snowmobiling and winter quadding.
I had some Yukon gear, which looks just like arctic shield but pales in comparison to actual performance.
found at retailers who are supplied by Inland Pacific..... I think.

This right here, but skip the poncho and hit Value Village for over sized sweat shirts/pants.
