Heater Body Suit???
 

Hey guys/gals, I was wondering...That "Heater Body Suit" is a bit pricey, but if it holds true that if I get cold I get my money back, I was thinking about buying one. With that said, I'm curious if anyone has one, and if you like it? Was it money well spent? I typically get cold after the 4 hour mark on those bitter winter mornings on stand. I want something that keeps me warm so that I can have those "All Day" hunts in the stand even during the frigid winter months. I have no problem spending the money if it truely works, I just want some other opinions/comments on this item before I invest any money in it. It's funny, I have no problem spending well over $1,000.00 for a new hunting rig (Diamond Bow + all goodies), but I get pissed when I have to spend $20.00 for some wool socks...LOL, I kill myself sometimes...LOL Thanks to all in advance;)

I'm still waiting on the field results/consumer reports myself. Therotically, sounds good, but then again, lots of things do 'til they're put to the test.

Somebody posted in another area that he went to Dicks and got a cheapo sleeping bag to use instead of the Heater suit. He said it works as good and is a bunch cheaper...FWIW

I was thinking the same thing, but if it worked, i would consider it.

I read also someone went to Walmart and bought a $12 kids camo sleeping bad and used that too.??

Shawn,
Not sure about your current set up for clothing. Maybe the issue just a little tweeking with your current set up. Tell us a little more about your current cloting, routine for getting to stand and lower range of temps you hunt in

Can someone tell me about the use of a sleeping bag. If you're ripped up in the bag, how would you get your arms freed-up without making a commotion, or noise from the zipper? Thanks.

hmmm

I used the kids sleeping bag from D!(Ks last year.
Standing up, I pull it up to My arm pits and sit down, no un zipping needed.
I will put My hands down into it if needed.

I haven't used one, but I know a couple guys that have and love them. I have used a sleeping bag a couple times over the years, and its basically the same concept - only the HBS is customized to be used for hunting with max benefit. I don't even know how much they cost, but I can almost guarantee they are worth the money if you get cold. Luckily for me, I don't get cold easily....or I'd probably buy one. If I ever venture to the colder parts, I'll get one for sure.

I agree...many of usspend TONS of money on the newest crap we don't need, or that won't really help us....then skimp on the stuff we truly need. LOL [8D]
