I have to laugh when I see the ads for HECS. Does anyone actually believe their claims?

Well as a matter of fact a new HECS user in central alberta found himself super close to 20 mule deer last weekend, like 20 yards away from them.
If it cuts out 3 extra miles of walking for me, I'll be extremely happy.....FS

I was ten yards from four mule deer this morning, and I wasn't wearing HECS.
But if you really believe that HECS makes you invisible to game animals, then go for it.

They don't claim you will be invisible, only that your electrical energy your body releases will be blocked from the animals detecting it.
I've had birds land on my arrow while sitting on stand and deer within mere feet, way back before HECS...but you know what, even with taking chlorophyll tablets months prior to season, full camo including face paint, clothes being stored in sealed bags with sage leaves left outside of the house, scent eliminating soaps, skunk scent rags tied to my boots and being downwind of these very very close whitetails they still sensed something even while I was absolutely total still.
Many years ago as far back as the 70's I came to the realization certain animals see something we humans just don't even if you are totally still.
Them picking up on our emitted electrical energy makes the most sense...their eyes and our eyes differ in Rod and Cone counts with us have more colour receptors known as Cones and them having more movement receptors known as Rods. The Rods may very well be picking up on this electrical energy our bodies emit.
Many migrating animals, fish and birds detect the very faint earth magnetic flux lines for their migrating routes, I see no reason not to suspect they can't and do pick up on our faint electrical energy output as well.
Hecs clothing will not make you invisible but if it helps even a little at concealing ones position, then the few hundred dollars is worth it.
Is it necessary? NO
Does it help? Maybe

I was 10 yards from 15-20 feeding whitetails last week. 30 minutes. Smoking. Had a whiz while standing there too.
Couple of them knew I was there but probably know how accurate I am and weren't overly concerned. Got the long stare and hoof stomps a couple of times.
Mind you I was wearing my Kuiu pants so I was pretty much invisible from the waist down. Probably had me pegged as a smoking tree with a blaze orange toque.

All that matters is that you believe it will help you get closer to game, you spent your hard earned $$$$ so go enjoy your hunt with heck's, good luck, be sure to let us know how it worked.

Cheap plaid jacket from Marks, blue jeans and a good pair of boots will get you just as close and way cheaper....Just make sure to wash all your cloths several times with out soap. to wash out the UV dies used by the manufacture in the fabric... wind in your face...and go hunting.
I own camo ONLY because it has some features you just cant find in street clothing.

They couldn't smell it anyways, when I am downwind of them.
But if you wear HECS and carry an Ozonics, the animals won't see or smell you.

I was less than 20 yards to a monster bull elk; only minutes later the same to be experienced for a monster whitetail. Wowwwww I was amazed as I stood motionless, with my heart racing.....
It seemed like forever........then the zoo keeper told me to move along....

I think I have a set in the closet that I have worn a couple times.
I find it isn’t designed as a durable outer layer and doesn’t breathe well so gets a little too sweaty as an underlayer - which equates to being hot in warm weather and freezing in cold weather.
I think if I were to order some now I’d try their base layer set.
I wouldn’t expect it to be as great as advertised but nothing wrong with trying to gain a little more edge in this manner. Other things used to gain an edge I don’t agree with.
Haven’t used it enough to make any claim one way or the other so I should maybe test it out this year

HECS....Ohhh ya baby........lol
Lads
At 64 years and not real fit, not real stealthy either.......LOL
The HECS suit worked unbelievably well
I an not hunkering down and hands and knees for a 100 yards, no thanks, not happening, bad cramps after 20 yards. I just walk in and sit down and let mother nature try and figure it out. Then if a deer happens to go broadside, inside 300 yards, bingo, bango, Bongo. The 7mm-08 goes boom. even after the shot the deer mostly mulled about till my jumping up and down and arm waving to my partner.There is sooo much snow in southeastern alberta, the less walking an older fellow haw to the better....
