Can you post a link for this "heater body suit"??  I am kind of curious what it is.

The best heater I ever purchased was a beaver pelt hat.  Put that thing on in the winter and you might not even need a coat.

I love mine! Can be a little scary putting it on standing on a small platform way up in a tree in the dark, especially if yer afraid of heights in the first place (like me   :scared: ) but it will keep you out there in the coldest of temps.

I really like it because I can dress lighter for the walk in to my stand, and not get as sweaty, then slip into it and still be warm all day. Never had a problem with noise or drawing my bow with it either.

The only real problem I've had is getting sleepy in the darn thing, it's like being in a warm bed!    :thumbsup:

I really like them, but it has to real cold, for me anyway. I mean it would have to be well below zero for me to wear one as I stay pretty warm with my conventional clothing. I tried a buds for a week or so a few years ago and it was in the low teens and I was actually too warm. In my opinion they are really good for gun hunters! Shawn

Unlike Shawn above, I get cold pretty easy.  I got one several years ago as a gift and wouldn't be without it now.

The only problem with the idea, is you will need to hang your bow and zip it.  Some guys stand and hold their bow for an entire hunt.  I'm not that hard core. I place my bow in my Lone Wolf's bow holder with a nocked arrow secured with a holder, zip and sit down.

In order to make a shot, I then have to stand, unzip, and pick up my bow.  Sure, I've missed some opportunities because of that, but I figure they are offset by the extra ones created by spending more time on stand.

I have a friend who has one and wears it whenever the temps are below 30. He says it's the bomb and I need to get one.

Does the fabric dry easy when soaked?I am picturing damp boots in the feet of it,for several hunts.
