Heater Body SuitBody Suit Reviews & Information

Are you tired of being cold while out hunting? Cold of any kind takes the fun out of hunting. The damp chill that sets in after a couple of hours in the mid 30°s has the same result as a below 0° day. You go home too early and are so uncomfortable during your hunt that you are not at the top of your game or a good hunter. The Heater Body Suit does not use batteries, wires or heat packs. It simply traps all of your body heat inside creating an envelope of warm air around you.

Heater Body SuitBody Suit Reviews Frequently Asked Questions

Are There Accessories That Match?

There are many accessories available for Heater Body Suit (Some different brands)

Coveralls

Camouflage-printed material allows hunters to switch patterns instantly! You can easily zip them onto your Heater body suit to switch patterns according to the season. The Heater Body Suit comes with an additional set of zippers that run alongside the main zipper. These smaller zippers allow you to attach the coveralls. Note that coveralls are not designed to be worn by themselves and do not provide additional insulation for the Heater Body Suit.

Hoods

It is easy to slip the hood over your head and provide full coverage on cold, windy weather days. Our design also allows for easy tightening or loosening of the coverage, while providing a warm, soft neck and mouth cover that can easily be tucked underneath the chin when it is not required.

Overlays

You can cover the body suit to let hunters wear Blaze Orange during gun season, or Black for hunting from ground blinds. The Heater Body Suit features an additional set of zippers that run along the main zipper. These zippers are used to enter and exit the suit.

Boots Waterproof

These are great to protect the heater body suit in water or standing water. They can also be used in cornfields and duck skiffs.

Heater Body Suit Pros and Cons

Why Hunters Keep Coming Back to It

• Warmth rating below -20°F. Ground-blind and tree-stand hunters stay comfortable in conditions that would end most hunts within 30 minutes of arrival.
• Insulation without bulk where it counts. Shoulders and arms stay free for drawing a bow or mounting a rifle. Legs and core carry the insulation.
• Muffles rustle. Soft fleece interior and quiet outer shell mean less scare-off from fabric noise. Big deal when whitetail are within 30 yards.
• Full-body protection. Unlike jackets + pants + blankets, the suit zips into one continuous sealed envelope. No cold air path around the waist.
• Reusable for years. Properly dried and stored, a Heater Body Suit lasts 10+ seasons.

Honest Trade-offs

• Price. Premium hunting gear pricing. You're paying for a specialty tool.
• Bulky to transport. Needs its own bag; takes up significant space in the truck or pack.
• Not for spot-and-stalk. You can't actually walk long distances in it. Purpose-built for sitting still.
• Seasonal use. Takes up closet space 8 months of the year.
• Can get too warm. In 20–40°F weather you'll overheat. Best for true cold (below 20°F) use.

When the Heater Body Suit Is the Right Call

• Late-season whitetail from a ground blind or tree stand. The use case it was literally designed for.
• All-day sits in brutal cold. December hunts in the Upper Midwest, Alberta, Manitoba.
• Cold-weather waterfowl blinds. Especially over-water blinds where wind chill dominates.
• Predator hunting at night. Sitting still for hours in sub-20°F temperatures.
• Ice fishing shelters. Non-hunting use that it handles well — hours of inactivity in extreme cold.

When to Reach for Something Else

• Spot-and-stalk or still-hunting. You'll be moving. Regular insulated hunting pants + layered top work better.
• Early-season archery. Temperatures are warmer, and you need more mobility to draw.
• Back-country walk-in hunts. Too bulky to hike in with. You're backpacking, not hauling.
• Budget-conscious hunters who only sit a few cold days per year. Layered merino + down + shell can get 80% of the way for a fraction of the price.

Alternatives Worth Comparing

• IWOM Outerwear Thermonator Extreme. Similar concept, slightly lighter, often price-competitive. Legitimate alternative for tree-stand use.
• Arctic Shield Body Insulator. Less expensive, less insulation. Good for marginal cold but not true extreme.
• Layered insulation (down jacket + insulated bibs + hand muff). Requires more layers but more versatile across temperatures.
• Heated gear (Gerbing, Ravean). Battery-powered heated vests and socks. Lighter, can't match passive insulation for all-day sits when batteries die.
• Sleeping bag in the blind. Surprisingly common among ice anglers — an old mummy bag over the legs plus an insulated jacket handles most cold.

Getting the Most from a Heater Body Suit

• Put it on before you walk in. If you put it on after sweating, you'll be cold for hours. Cold-dress and carry to the stand.
• Layer merino underneath. Base layer long underwear manages the moisture the suit's insulation can't.
• Use a hood cover. Heat loss from the head is substantial. The suit's hood isn't enough by itself — add a fleece beanie or balaclava.
• Hand heat and foot warmers. The suit handles core and legs. Extremities still need active heat from disposable warmers or electric socks.
• Hang to dry, not store. Any moisture left in the suit after a hunt degrades the insulation. Air it out every time.

Heater Body Suit FAQ

Is the Heater Body Suit worth the price?

For hunters who sit multiple all-day hunts in sub-20°F weather every season, yes — the hunt time gained justifies it. For casual cold-weather hunters, layered gear is more economical.

How do you walk into a stand with it?

You don't — carry it in a bag, then put it on at the stand. Walking any distance in it is impractical and also sweaty.

Can you shoot a bow while wearing it?

Yes — the arm zippers let you draw and release. Practice the unzip-draw-release sequence at home before hunting with it.

Will it fit in a tree stand?

Yes — it's specifically designed for tree-stand use. Tree-stand straps accommodate the bulk.

Is there a women's version?

Heater Body Suit offers unisex sizing; the smallest sizes typically fit most women. A few women hunters recommend sizing down from the chart for a tighter, warmer fit.
