The current snow camo overwhites ensemble used by the US Army has not changed fundamentally since the Model 1951 sets issued during the Korean War. The current sets however use a lightweight, water/snow, and dirt resistant lightweight synthetic fabric that is much better than the 100% cotton material used for the previous 60 years. Cargo pockets have also been added to the overtrouser legs, which is a very practical addition. The synthetic material is quite thin and semi-translucent however, so that the color of the underlying uniform shows through and affects the camouflage performance of the solid white over-garments.
