[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 831706, member: 35183"] In my opinion, the difference between clothing needed for hunting on the move vs sitting motionless for hours is so different that I just can't see it working. The heater body suit is filling a niche since you dress for the walk in and just pack in the suit and then get into it once in position when you have cooled off. The only alternative would be a layer that is actively heated (there are some with built in resistive heaters). The trouble with that is carrying the power and the fact that if you have an equipment malfunction combined with worse that expected weather one might get into a bit of a survival type situation. On the other hand, something like the heater body suit improves you chances pretty drastically in any survival type situation. The only catch with all of this is the cost. One can build a pretty good blind for the sort of money one is spending on fancy clothing, that to me would hardly be justified if you are then sitting on your butt for hours. Even a cloth blind with a little propane heater is not much money and very comfortable. I do appreciate that fact that setting up any kind of blind takes some time and effort and most times you wouldn't have it in a different location every day. [/QUOTE]
