Title: Iwom vs Heater body suit
Post by: jcprintz on January 30, 2015, 07:13:00 PM

I can't seem to make up my mind which to choose. They both have their own + and - . So I'm looking for recommendations from the Gang. Any opinions will be appreciated.

HBS.

I think one of the best assets of the HBS is the fact that you wear moderate coats underneath it.  Thus when the shot comes you are not trying to shoot with a "Michelin Man" coat on.

Getting out of the HBS to shoot is really a non-issue.  Used one for ten years.  Never had an issue or been picked off getting out of the suit.

Well I own both. Traded off hunting with both last season. Have to say I prefer the HBS. Main reason is the material is quieter . The outer material on the iwom is noisy, it also sticks to tree bark so when you go to stand up you make a lot of unwanted noise. Hope this helps you, good luck, Jerry.

I'm a HBS owner and never tried the other. That being said I love my HBS! I sat today for 7 hrs with windchills below 0 and NEVER got cold! It's the best equipment/clothing investment I ever made!
