Ilves anorak, M05 snow camo

Origopro Ilves Snow Camo Anorak – Official M05 Camouflage Over-Jacket for Winter Hunting

The Origopro Ilves Snow Camo Anorak is engineered for demanding winter hunting and tactical field use, where absolute concealment and operational reliability are essential. Featuring the official Finnish M05 snow camouflage pattern—the exact pattern utilized by the Finnish Defence Forces—the contrasting grey and white pattern effectively breaks up the human silhouette across snowy forests, brush, and shadowed terrain.

This anorak functions as a dedicated camouflage outer shell: it contains no built-in thermal insulation or heavy padding, leaving generous room to be worn comfortably over standard winter gear.

Why Choose the Origopro Ilves M05 Snow Camo Anorak?

• Official M05 Pattern & Finnish Defence Forces Specifications: Made from fabric produced to FDF technical specifications, this jacket meets stringent near-infrared (NIR/IR) reflectance standards. It prevents bright reflection through night vision devices and light intensifiers, ensuring authentic camouflage across both visual and infrared spectrums.

• Superior Breathability with Zero Freezing Membranes: Free from waterproof membranes or internal laminates, the material is treated to repel water and slush while remaining exceptionally breathable under physical exertion. By eliminating membranes, it solves a major winter challenge: there is no membrane to freeze, stiffen, or create unwanted rustling noise in freezing temperatures.

• Side Zipper for Easy On and Off: A generous side zipper allows quick, hassle-free donning and doffing directly over thick winter layers. It also serves as an effective ventilation channel during intense uphill tracking or skiing.

• Silent & Heavy-Duty Performance: The rugged fabric blend (70% polyester, 30% cotton) withstands dense brush and harsh terrain. It stays quiet and pliable in severe cold, giving stalking hunters the silent edge they need.

• Anti-Reflective Matte Finish: Selected with a dull, glare-free yarn finish, the fabric avoids synthetic shine under low winter sun, matching the natural optical reflectance of real snow.

• Extended Hem Cut (+3 cm) & Protective Design: This M05 snow camo model features a hem that is 3 cm longer than our all-white edition, providing reliable lower-back coverage when crouching, skiing, or hauling a sled. An adjustable crotch strap keeps the hem anchored in heavy drift snow.

• Functional Hardware: A deep, protective tunnel hood shields the face and neck against biting winds. All hood, collar, and hem adjustments feature durable black elastic drawcords and heavy-duty cord stoppers easily operated while wearing winter gloves.

How does this differ from a standard M05 Snow Camo suit? This Ilves model is pure white without any grey camouflage prints. It is designed for environments with heavy “tykky” frost and pristine white snow, where even small dark spots can compromise your concealment. Even the zippers, drawstrings, and toggles are solid white to ensure a seamless silhouette.

Does the fabric glare or shine in the sun? No. We use a specially selected matte yarn to prevent glare. The fabric’s reflective properties match those of natural white snow, which is crucial for staying undetected during daytime hunting.

Is the fabric loud in sub-zero temperatures? No. The 70% Polyester / 30% Cotton blend is engineered to remain silent and soft even in extreme cold. Unlike many cheap synthetic materials, it does not rustle or make noise when you move.

What is the purpose of the crotch strap? The crotch strap (haararemmi) keeps the anorak in place and prevents it from riding up while crawling or wading through deep snow. It also prevents snow from entering under the jacket and helps maintain a consistent camouflage profile.

How should I choose the size? The anorak has a loose fit because it is designed to be worn over heavy winter layers (such as wool sweaters or insulated jackets). You should choose your regular size; the extra space needed for layering is already included in the design.
