The M/05 snow camouflage pattern is a two-colour variant of the M/05 woodland variant, in which only the charcoal grey elements have been retained; white has been substituted for the other three colours. It is reported that this pattern disrupts a soldier's silhouette in such a way that it cannot be detected in dense snowfall. [Image: Ministry of Defence of Finland.]

Several analytical methods were employed, in an effort to create camouflage patterns that best represented Finnish terrain.
