Realizing the economic pinch of the American consumer, Heater Clothing, manufacturer of the Heater Body Suit, has introduced a new program for 2009 intended to help aid their sales and our pocket books. Here's a new look at a product we cold weather bowhunters just love.  

2009 "FIELD TEST" PROGRAM

Heater Clothing, manufacturer of the Heater Body Suit, is looking for your help in testing a "NEW" garment that may be added to our product line. In 2010, we recognized that some guys just don't have $330.00 to purchase our elite Heater Body Suit with all of the perks, benefits, and versatility it has to offer. We want to be able reach out and expand our customer base of hunters to allow them to experience the comfort our suits provide. Our goal is to make alterations to our elite Heater Body Suit; thereby, reducing the cost while maintaining our solid reputation of keeping you warm. We have developed an "economy" suit called the "Comfort Series" (a suit providing you with all-day warmth at a "comfortable" price). This addition to our product line gives hunters a choice between the elite Heater Body Suit and the new Comfort Series suit. We are now looking for approximately 150 field testers for this Comfort Series suit.

Here's what we did:

1.      Removed the knit collar (cost savings).

2.      Used a military grade insulation versus the Ultra Thinsulate (cost savings with comparable test results in our lab).

3.      Manufactured in 3 sizes (M, L, XL) versus 6 sizes of our elite Heater Body Suit.

4.      Manufactured in one pattern (Backland Adrenaline)

5.      Does not include the extra pair of insulated booties which are worn inside our elite Heater Body Suit (cost savings).

6.      Does not have the extra zippers to accept the various colors of full coveralls to change the appearance of suit versus the elite Heater Body Suit.

7.      This suit should retail for approximately $259.00.

Below are the parameters of the Field Test Program "Comfort Series" Suit

This is a great example of a hunting business reaching out to help its customers; especially during difficult economic times.

It's companies with this type of creative thinking that come out of downturns stronger.

Thanks for sharing bowhunting.com staff.

I ordered mine yesterday. I always wanted to try this thing out, but felt the price was pretty steep. Now the price has been reduced and I have a money back guarantee.

I'll give a review when I put it to use.

Brown Santa (the ups guy) delivered mine today. Now I just have to wait about 9 or 10 months to use it. Seems well put together, my main complaint so far is the zipper is REALLY noisy. Not good for a bowhunter. I may try putting some wax or scent free oil on it to see if that helps any. And if given my choice, I'd like it to be Predator Camo.

I have always wanted to try one of these suits as well. The idea of not having to freeze to death sounds great. I definitely will have to give this a try.
