Engraver99 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Was just given a HECS base layer package from one of my clients who uses one and swears that it gets him closer to the critters. I've read about them and the technology makes sense but still not totally convinced. Alot of videos show amazing footage of it in use. Any one use one?, Researched them, Thoughts on them? I'm not going to discount its abilities or use it as a crutch but am excited to test it myself. Any comments? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmg Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 well its been a couple of seasons since this post -- what was your experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodfather Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I didn’t see this back when it originated. I have had one since 2018 and where it all the time. Mainly cause it cost so much not cause it may or may not work. I have killed deer with it on and the deer I shot with it were no more than 12 yards away. Is it cause of the HECS? I don’t know but I wear it cause I couldn’t believe how much it cost . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy K Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I thought the rule was wool against your skin for optimum temperature control , are these base layers wool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlammerhirt Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 My dad gave me one as a gift so I wear it on an off over the years. I like the facemask and top.....the pants fit me like MC hammer pants. I wear it mostly during turkey season since it's a mesh material and I have convinced myself it keeps the bugs/ nats/ flys off me.Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisw Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I've seen it advertised a lot on the pursuit channel. The owner really annoys me. I've never tried one, never will most likely. Seems like someone trying to sell you on an idea, not science. Billions of deer were killed without a HECS suit, so it doesn't appeal to me much. There's no way of ever knowing if it worked or not either, perfect sales pitch, you can't disprove or prove if it works!

His homemade ground blind was the most affective when it came to bloodhound test . I’m trying to think of his name I think it was Bill Vale I think or something .

Which seems a bit pseudo science to me. Reminds me of the hair regrowth electric helmets of yesteryear. I even have a piece of quack medicine in my basement I always planned to have restored. Got it from an antique store for like 30 bucks.#ThankYouForLessOverzealousModding #WeDemandUnlimitedLikes#WeDemandADislikeButton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 A bit?I say a bit because I personally have never held one of these suits. So I like to be conservative in my opinion that it is just a bit fake news. More than likely it's fully fake news but we shall see if I ever see one in person#ThankYouForLessOverzealousModding #WeDemandUnlimitedLikes#WeDemandADislikeButton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
