Hello,

I am Scott Hendrickson, and I had and opportunity to use a Heater Body Suit several times this hunting season. The first time was filming the Army with Timberline Adventures during the rifle season. It was a life saver as there was a brisk, damp northeast wind. With the Heater Body Suit, I was able to sit all day.

The second time was during the late season of bow hunting. It was only about six degrees and dead calm out. The Heater Body Suit kept me warm and comfortable during the hunt. Fortunately, I was warm enough to draw back on this buck! Thank you Heater Body Suit!

Just wanted to express my satisfaction with the Heater Body Suit. I purchased one for my first hunt in Saskatchewan, Canada in November of 2006. My biggest fear about sitting in a blind all day was the extreme cold temperatures I have heard so much about in Northern Canada. I get cold really easily, but with the suit I was able to sit 4 1/2 days in total comfort. Being my first trip to a place like that, I didn't know what to expect. The "veterans" I was hunting with told me to be patient if I wanted to kill a real big deer. Although I was seeing some bucks that anyone in Vermont would have shot without thinking twice, with the suit I was able to sit tight till mid day on day five. When first deer of the day stepped out a little before 11:00 a.m., it was a no brainer. Without the suit I probably would have shot a buck earlier in the week and never even seen this one. See the attached photo of my 180 7/8 gross, 172 1/8 net B&C buck. Not bad for a first timer. Thanks again to the Heater Body Suit. You can bet I will be going back someday with suit in hand.

If you guys knew how many hours I've sat waiting for my first shooter buck, you'd know how much I appreciate my Heater Body Suit. Thanks.

I just wanted to drop a note and tell you something that you already know, and this your Heater Body Suit really works. I was so impressed that I could hunt in 15 degree weather with wind blowing 20 to 25 miles per hour, this is one of the best investments that I have made for hunting in a long time!

I happened to be hunting deer at a field edge with a friend of mine this weekend and I actually felt sorry for him while he sat there shaking and I was wiping sweat from my brow.

Absolutely incredible!

Thank you for the quick shipping, I actually received the suit when you said I would.

Sincerely,
Darren Pickard

My wife purchased one of your body suits as a Christmas gift for me. I had heard many excellent reports about the suit. To say I am thrilled with the suit is an understatement. In 35+ years of bowhunting, I have never purchasd or received a product, gift, etc., that works as well as the Body Suit. I have utilized the Suit twice in 20-30 degree weather with wind chills approaching single digits and was so warm and comfortable on stand I was amazed. No more concerns about being cold on stand or dressing like the Michelin Man just to stay warm. I love hunting late season/winter season deer — The Body Suit will make it more enjoyable and pleasurable than it already is. Thanks for a terrific product.

I've been called the multi-arrow hunter by my Michigan camp critics because every now and then I've missed a deer! Not this time guys!!

My wife purchased a heater body suit last year as a Christmas gift. I finally had a chance this hunting season to try it and I was simply amazed on how well the suit performed. I basically wore my bow hunting clothes all year. I could never find a way to keep warm. I must have spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars try to stay warm. I would recommend your suit to anyone who has ever been cold. Thank you for a wonderful product.

I spoke with you about 2 months ago after I called about more information on your heater body suit. I thought when I called that I would get some operator that would know squat about the product. I was surprised to get the owner answer the info I needed! I was reluctant to spend $350 for what I thought would be another product to take up room in my closet.

Tom, as you said, "If you get cold, just send it back, no questions, no nothing and I will refund your money. That is a promise that is not made enough these days let alone stood behind.

Your product hands down is the warmest and best product I have ever bought and used. I am truly amazed that I can set in long johns and pants and sweatshirt when it is 27 and be warm! The coldest so far was 8 degrees with freezing rain/sleet and I was warm and comfortable!! I cannot say enough good about my heater body suit. I wish I bought one years ago. I laugh now because when other hunters are leaving the woods at 9 a.m. because of being cold, I watch the deer they stir up as they leave.

Tom, you told me on the phone that after you used your suit that you called and asked for a job. I have a full-time job but want to ask the same thing. Can I help sell thes for you here in Illinois?

Thanks again for an amazing product.

I purchased my Heater Body Suit in early 2007 in anticipation of my November 2007 Saskatchewan hunting trip. I first learned of the Heater Body Suit from watching the Sportsman Channel "Just Killing Time" television program.

I sent an email question to "Just Killing Time" and received a response from "Buck" praising the warmth of the Heater Body Suit. Having endured a very cold Saskatchewan, Canada, hunt in 2000, I took Buck's advice and purchased my own Heater Body Suit. This was my second hunt to Saskatchewan and the first time that I was completely warm and comfortable, all day long.

The suit performed exactly as it is advertised. I remained warm and dry despite strong wind, snow, and cold temperatures.

PS: I am also glad I had purchased white snow cover and backpack. The (large) backpack allowed me to easily carry in my Heater Body Suit and other gear to my stand. Thank you for making a great product that performed as advertised.

I wanted to send a picture of me in my Heater Body Suit after my recent hunt in NE. Last year, it was -23 wind chill during the December muzzle loader hunt. Luckily, it was only 23 this year for rifle season. The Heater Body Suit allows me to hunt and stay warmer longer with less clothes on, which is nice being a quadriplegic and not having a lot of circulation. Thanks for keeping me warm! :)

Being a sun up to sun down bow and rifle hunter, I cannot say enough of the merits of this suit. However, I had an incident this winter whole on a cross state trip during one of the area's coldest spells in a few years that really shows the effectiveness of this product. Due to work constraints, I found myself making a road trip across Wisconsin during a brutal evening of -10 degrees with 15 to 20 mph winds pushing wind chills to incredible extremes. In addition, the winds were picking up recent cold weather snow and drifting it across the highway. Cautiously running the interstate in my 3/4 ton truck, I was passed by an inexperienced driver speeding in one of those 4 cylinder "hot rods." After passing me he lost control, and at one point had vanished partially from view looking across my hoodline. I was forced to take evasive action for fear that if we collided, I would have gone right over him. I quickly shifted down to four wheel drive as I slowed and tried to hug two wheels in the gravel to hold out of the ditch, but had to steer lower to avoid the cars wheel locked skids. He managed to avoid the deep snow-filled trench in-between northbound and southbound lans...I did not. I was able to drive the ditchline to get into position to try pulling back onto the roadway, but not being able to lunge up one the roadway because of fear of causing a major accident on the busy highway, I was forced to wait for emergency vehicles.

While waiting I became concerned over my fuel situation, and the fact that I had sunk deeper while idling and snow was constantly drifting over the rear corner of my truck and exhaust pipe. Sitting in the cold truck, I then realized just how cold and deadly these temperatures could be to someone unprepared. I had hunted in similar weather many times, but with proper attire. It was then I remembered I had some assorted bow hunting equipment in the back of my truck, one being my heater body suit! I had to put it on outside as I couldn't quite get the acrobatics accomplished while sitting in the vehicle. Once back inside, I was rather relieved to find myself quite comfortable and at times had to open it up to cool down so as not to perspire.

I'd like to say I spent the entire night sitting, and it saved my life; however, things were not that dramatic. I did spend well over an hour in street clothes with no gloves, hat, or boots. I had to pull my head down into the suit periodically to warm my face and ears as I sadly had not ordered my suit with a hood! I chose not to periodically run my truck due to exhaust and fuel concerns. I did cycle my flashers, so emergency road crews could help out as some point.

This is an amazing product. I have never dressed down to that extreme during any of my hunts, but now feel confident to do so while using your suit. I just wanted to let you know how very satisfied I am with your product. I will be adding it to my cold travel emergency kit that I now stow on every winter trip.

I hate your body suit! I sat out this past Saturday evening in 11+ degrees. Two problems:

1. I kept nodding off I was so comfortable.
2. I dreaded getting out of it after sunset to go home!

Seriously, I know of NOTHING else that would keep me on stand for 4 hours in Mid-December with an 11 degree air temperature. Thanks for a GREAT product.

The Ultimate in Cold Weather Protection
by Gary Clancy

Have you ever left your deer stand earlier than you had planned because you got too cold? Have you ever found yourself fidgeting and moving around on stand in an effort to stay warm? Or have you fought the cold for so long that the hunt became a self-inflicted torture test instead of being fun? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then read on, because you do not ever have to be cold on deer stand again.

The Heater Body Suit is the ultimate in cold weather deer hunting clothing. No heavy batteries to lug around, no wires to kink at the wrong time. The Heater Body Suit works on a very simple principle, trap the heat your body generates

Picture a sleeping bag with giant feet. When you crawl inside of your Heater Body Suit, boots and all, and zip that baby up, the cold stays out and the heat stays in, it is really that simple.

And believe me once you have one of these babies, you won't wait until the mercury gets on the wrong side of zero to use it. Like most serious hunters, when the rut is on, I try to hunt bell-to-bell every chance I get. Temperatures in the teens and 20's are common during the rut in the north country. Those kinds of temperatures are easy to take for an hour or two, but the cold gets down to your bones when you start talking about eight to ten hours in the stand. My Heater Body Suit has taken the torture out of those all day vigils. And being a Minnesota native, I always thought that anyone who complained about being cold while hunting south of the Mason-Dixon was a real wimp. Wrong again! I recall in painful detail a mid-December hunt in Mississippi, when I would have gladly traded my bow for a Heater Body Suit. And then there was the time in south Texas when what the cowboys down there call a "blue norther" roared through. Thought I was going to freeze to death. Today, I don't travel anywhere without my Heater Body Suit.

Your initial reaction to the Heater Body 'suit is likely to very similar to mine. "Great idea I thought, but how is a guy supposed to shoot a gun, much less a bow while all wrapped up in some glorified sleeping bag". Thanks to well-designed shoulder straps the upper portion of the suit falls away quietly and easily with a minimum of movement. I've used the suit a lot and I have yet to spook a deer while preparing for the shot.

This suit is available in a waterproof or a windproof version. The waterproof version is great for your all around rifle/bow hunter. The windproof suit is the ticket for your ultra- quiet conscious bow hunters, those who hunt those cedar swamps in December where it's so quiet you can hear yourself breathe.

If you are serious about cold weather deer hunting, this is a product you should look into.

I just thought I'd give you a little testimonial which has repeated itself dozens of times in the past three years. I film from Sept. to Jan. for a variety of TV shows in every imaginable situation. My Heater Suit has become standard equipment for tree stand hunting. This past Nov. while filming a whitetail show for Realtree in WY it was truly unbearably cold with biting, icy wind and intermittent snow showers. Hunting had been extremely slow. My cameraman (a new one for this assignment) was perched in a small lock-on stand directly above mine. After a few hours I could feel the tree shaking as he began to shiver and shake. When I finally decided to hang-it-up for the morning I whispered into the mic and asked if he was ready to get down. He replied that he wasn't sure if he could since his feet & hands had long since gone numb. I stood up and unzipped my suit which I had put on while he was hanging the camera and checking his gear. His eyes popped as he watched me emerge from the warm cocoon, stating, "I thought you had to be the toughest person I'd ever met if you could sit still in this weather. What kind of deal were you wearing? I've never seen anything like that?"

As I said, this same scenario is relived many times each season during my excursions. There have been times when I actually slept in my suit in hunt camps when there was not enough heat.

Thanks for a great product.
