HECS Suit Turkey Hunting Clothing with Human Energy Concealment Technology - Camo 3 Piece Shirt, Pants, Headcover - Lightweight Breathable in Mossy Oak Country & Realtree Xtra | Realtree, X-Large

I have been reading the reviews of these suits and following comments from various hunting forums for some time now. The reviews have always been 50/50 - with some claiming they work and others calling them snake oil. With hesitancy, I decided the bite the bait and purchased one for this years bow hunt. I figured if nothing else, the camo pattern and light weight would make me feel better about the purchase if it did turn out to be snake oil. One the 2nd day of bow hunting (I missed the opening day) I was was traveling about a mile to a tree I had selected for a hang-on stand. I practice scent control, so - I shower prior to the hunt and keep my clothes in a tote with a mini-ozone machine until I get into the deer woods. Once I got to my tree, I pulled out my climbing sticks and placed the first one on the tree. Then all of a sudden I head a deer blow and stomp at me about 60 yards in front of the tree; the wind had shifted and the saddle I was hunting was no longer down-wind. So there I was - BUSTED; trying to figure out if I was going to proceed with hanging the stand or move further down and pick a different spot. Then, it happened (5 mins later) - that doe that busted me had circled to my left and was now 50 yards away - still blowing and stomping. So, I took a knee and picked up my crossbow. Looking through the scope I could see that she was blowing, then edging closer - she knew something was there but couldn't figure out what it was. So, she blew and jumped forward - trying to make whatever that was kneeling by the tree to move; I did not. Once she got 40 yards away, ears up and looking right at me, I dropped her. I stood up and was thinking - "that was crazy - I never had a deer act that way. Usually there are in the next county if you get busted". As I was dragging her back to the truck I just couldn't figure it out--I had actually forgotten about the HECS suit. I figured, she just didn't get a good wind (shower, ozone, and scent killer) - and was trying get closer to see what I was. However, that doesn't match any other deer I've encountered - usually they don't care...if Its a foreign scent/human movement there gone!. Once I got back to the truck it hit me..."could it have been this dang HECS suit?" I'm a skeptical person - so I'm still not totally convinced yet, but If I have another encounter like that I will be singing the HECS praises for some time to come. There are some disclaimers here: (1) I hunt the wind & thermals - the wind was in my favor until it wasn't. (2) I practice scent control (shower, teeth, ozone, and scent killer [cover scent if needed]). (3). This was a young doe 2+ years (I feel that if I had been busted by a 3-4+ year on doe or buck, all I would have seen was the white flag waving as they dropped the hammer) - but I could be wrong. I will continue to wear the suit and see if I get a repeat occurrence. If I do, then I will be sure the post my findings. That said, so far so good - I'm a HECS fan for now and perhaps will be a HECS convert in the upcoming weeks.

I love my suit so far! I've been watching the HECS hunting show for some time and have seen what it can do. I've always been a lover of technology and it's application to hunting and the HECS system was a must have item. I struggled with sizing but being 5'10" and 190 pounds I was undecided on a large or Xlarge. I plan to wear thermals under the suit so I ordered the XL and the fit is perfect. The suit has plenty of room and is made from a slinky kind of material that feels really good on and should help with ease of movement under layers. Actually you hardly even know it's on. The more odds you can put in your favor, the more successful you will be and leaving no stone unturned I ordered the socks to complete my outfit. I anxiously await the pre rut as my confidence level is off the chart and my Micro is ready! Best of luck to all!

WOW is all I can think of. I was skeptical at first but just had to try HECS for myself. My first outing I had a red fox walk up to me, look right at me from 20' away, then just start scratching it's ear as if I wasn't even there. A fox always picks me out, they have great vision and this one didn't even look twice. Two days later I went out and had a deer walk out on the edge of the field and walked right past me without ever turning it's head. It stopped a couple times looking around but never looked right at me sitting right on the edge of the field. I'm impressed to say the least. Now my buddies are starting to think real hard about me having an advantage over them. LOL! Thanks HECS !!!!

Went deer hunting and the suit was easy to put on over other cloths. Didn't see any deer but what did happen was cool. It was a cold day and I was in the my stand. It was about 1130 so I got down to walk around a bit to warm up before I was picked up. I ran face first into 4 hen turkeys. They looked at me but didn't fly off. So I climb back up in my stand slow and steady and they fly off or panic in any way just stared at me. At one point no joke I could have used a bat to hit them, no gun necessary. Then they walked off. It was so cool. The next day I saw deer and same results, I could have used a spear no gun necessary. But a no shooter buck and a lot of does. I walked up on the does at the end of the evening within 30 ft before the really go nervous, but they didn't run off. So I backed off. It was so cool. This is cheating ha ha

Great product! Worked just as advertised. You're literally invisible to animals. Didn't get hot with it as an underlayer and the thumbloops keep the sleeves from riding up. The only suggestion I would make would be to have stirrups on the bottoms of the pant legs to keep the legs from riding up. Sewed some into mine and it worked perfect. I'll be buying a lot more HECS products.
