The Snow armor (on Desktop version Desktop, Console version Console, and Mobile version Mobile) is an armor set consisting of the Snow Hood, Snow Coat, and Snow Pants.

On Desktop version Desktop, Console version Console, and Mobile version Mobile, wearing the full set grants a total of 9 defense as well as immunity to the Chilled and Frozen debuffs. It can be mixed freely with the Pink Snow armor and will still grant this set bonus. Each piece has a 1/30 (3.33%) chance to be dropped by Frozen Zombies.

On Old-gen console version Old-gen console and 3DSNintendo 3DS version, the set is called Eskimo armor, consisting of the Eskimo Hood, Eskimo Coat, and Eskimo Pants. Each piece has a 1/150 (0.67%) to be dropped by Zombie Eskimos. Wearing the full set grants a total of 4 defense and no set bonus. Due to its low defense and high rarity, its viability as an armor set is rather low.

Trivia

  • This armor set may be a reference to Popo, one of the protagonists of the vertical platform video game Ice Climber which was developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985. Popo wears an outfit almost identical to the Snow armor.
  • Prior to 1.4(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), this armor set was (and on the Old-gen console version Old-gen console version and Nintendo 3DSNintendo 3DS version version still is) called Eskimo armor instead of Snow armor.
    • Eskimos are the indigenous peoples who have traditionally inhabited the northern circumpolar region. In Canada and Greenland, the term Eskimo is predominately seen as pejorative and has been widely replaced by the term Inuit, even though the Inuit are a distinctive group of aboriginal peoples in Canada.
    • Previously, only the Mobile version Mobile version of Terraria used the "Snow" set names.
  • (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) Snow armor is one of 3 armor sets that do not provide a set bonus, the others being Angler armor and Pink Snow armor.
