The HECS camo suit is reported to eliminate the "electrical field" around the hunter's body and make the hunter look like a inanimate body to wildlife.

Has anyone tried this HECS suit?

Just another gimmick made by a company for you to buy their product.

Well the animated BS flag scientifically and conclusively proves that this cannot be factual.

I would guess that means he has not tried it, and is just expressing an uninformed opinion.

I have not tried it, but would love to see the technology behind it in person. The only references I found are about the same as this thread will be....those that used it say it works and those that never tried it say it is snake oil.

I'd really be interested to see the science behind the suit. Do animals, in fact, see or sense the electrical field of a being (human or animal)?
I'd like to know more. I have often "sensed" that something or someone was "watching" me or nearby. If this suit can eliminate that sense then I'm all for it if it is a proven fact that animals react to this electrical field.
By the way I don't even wear camo.

Hammerheads certainly have and use electric fields.
I wonder if wearing a Faraday cage would protect a hunter ?

From a practical standpoint, the cost would be the main factor on IF I would try it. I do wear camo in the field most days but it is camo I have bought a Cablea's on sale after the season maybe 10 years ago for warm days. For cold days, I am still wearing polar fleece I bought at the Remington Factory Store in the 80's.
So, if I was replacing something, I might give it a shot if it was not priced stupidly expensive.

The HECS suit is a stealth version of the old "Faraday Cage". Really, really smart people have used a Faraday Cage since its invent. HECS is a ripoff, everyone knows that it is readily made using tin foil.

The Emperor's New Clothes

Many years ago there lived an emperor who loved beautiful new clothes so much that he spent all his money on being finely dressed. His only interest was in going to the theater or in riding about in his carriage where he could show off his new clothes. He had a different costume for every hour of the day. Indeed, where it was said of other kings that they were at court, it could only be said of him that he was in his dressing room!

One day two swindlers came to the emperor's city. They said that they were weavers, claiming that they knew how to make the finest cloth imaginable. Not only were the colors and the patterns extraordinarily beautiful, but in addition, this material had the amazing property that it was to be invisible to anyone who was incompetent or stupid.

"It would be wonderful to have clothes made from that cloth," thought the emperor. "Then I would know which of my men are unfit for their positions, and I'd also be able to tell clever people from stupid ones." So he immediately gave the two swindlers a great sum of money to weave their cloth for him.

OK, I will admit to it.
I was give it a couple years ago for Christmas. I have and do wear it under regular camouflage. I have not seen a difference but it does feel nice and blocks the wind coming through a gilli suit.
Maybe it does do something, maybe not, but sitting in a drawer it is definitely not working so I put it on.
And it makes my wife who gave it to me happy that I use it.

I shot a deer at 15 yards this year. I was sitting in my Ranger wearing an orange camo coat. Two deer actually walked up.
I guess that proves my spark is about gone.

Resurrecting an old thread.
Since I am the only one to admit having a HECS suit I have a new report.

When hunting in Texas for deer I was walking in the dark to the stand using a red light. I came to a jackrabbit in the trail and walked right up to it, stopped, and said "Good morning." The rabbit did not move and I had to go around it, weird. After the sun came up I saw the rabbit acting normally. I don't know if it works but the bunny didn't give a darn I was there.

Mark
Note, the rabbit did not answer me.

Mark,

Could it have been the "deer-in-the-headlights" phenomenon? - a rabbit mesmerized by your red flashlight.

I know that big game will spook from flash lights, hence not a good idea to travel into game country with white lights.

But, I don't know about red lights...any insight?

I admire your courage for posting that you have a HECs suit. Is it warm?

The red light is not very bright, I can't see past 10 feet with it and I did not shine it in the rabbit's eyes. So I do not think it was a headlights thing. On same trip I shot 3 hogs,all at close range, one under 10 yards.

The material the suit is made from is light and slick, like girl underwear, it blocks wind but little insulation. Makes a good base layer.
As I posted earlier in this thread I got the suit as a gift, I wore it to see if it works and to make the wife happy. So far I say maybe, possibly, perhaps something is happening.

i am afraid i am unfamiliar with how girl's underwear feels. i applaud you for having the metrosexual gonads to admit it tu2 rotflmo since it blocks wind, are you able to fart while wearing it?

Wow, someone that never even got to second base with a girl! Sad. Smiler

It may just work. I will wait on more of Mark's comments. I know we all put out electrical fields. Whether they are noticeable to animals is interesting. I suspect they do notice.

second base is a long way from what it feels like to wear to actually wear the stuff as the poster stated........BTW, if you believe this stuff, I have a nice piece of beachfront property in Phoenix for sale at a great price.

Well, you didn't say to wear it. Smiler Smiler

I'm just saying it is an interesting theory. There may not be any definitive way to prove it one way or the other, especially if you have never tried it. Heck, I was with Bell Labs when they told us that data would never pass across copper at a higher speed than 4800bits per second, and here we are. Things happen all the time.

I'm not going to go out and buy a bunch of it. Heck, I still hunt in my blue jeans and they are supposed to look bright orange to deer.

The HEC suit makes sense in salt water where sharks are known to detect electrical fields and have specialized organs to do it.

But, birds and mammals have no know organ for detecting electrical or magnetic fields...

Am I missing something?

I know the feel of girls underwear from the many occasions sliding it off the girl, wadding it up and throwing it on the floor.
It is a wonderful experience, I suggest trying it.
If your kink is to cross dress or think of others cross dressing perhaps it is best kept to yourself.

I have the HECS so I have been wearing it and watching for any effect. I did not buy it as a believer in the EM blocking. As I reported I had the encounter with the rabbit, I also was in a ground blind and had range cattle rub against it, normally they are hard to approach.
I an looking at it as an experiment, and being that I need a lot more data for a conclusion.

Girl's underwear tests ? I have doubts that they're valid as most of us are adding other factors as we do it !
We scientists who have had experience with non-traditional medicine have other thoughts as we try to keep an open mind .Do you "believe " in accupuncture ?
I had medical tests yesterday involving the "aura" that surrounds things and people .A standard test for those who use it but weird for those who don't.
Otzi has a number of tattoos ,Many just happen to be at accupuncture points !! Want to talk about that ? without the Al foil hat ! coffee

There are a whole lot of so called experts here who are willing to say something doesn't work. I have no personal experience with a HECS suit, but some of the other items mentioned have been tested.

OZONE eliminating electronic devices: WORKS! Not really in a hunting situation but yes they do indeed work. If you have a closed container and a way to prevent your scent emitting particles from leaving the ozone field they work as stated, just not practical.

SCENT GUARD Clothing and other types of charcoal based clothing filtration. WORKS! Only issue is that typically your face, hands, and head are exposed making them less effective.

Scent Eliminating Sprays: About a 50-50 on these some work quite well and some actually make it easier to find you.

DRY SUITS or CONTAINMENT CLOTHING: Works quite well at containing your scent if you can bear to be wrapped up in a great big sweaty condom suit. Not very practical for a hunter.

Without having any first hand knowledge of testing I would bet that a HECS suit does indeed scramble your electrical outputs just as advertised. If that matters or not when hunting the game of your choice is debatable.

Over the years there have been any number of things that guarantee that the fish will be jumping in your boat or the deer will actually crawl into the back of your truck. But, more often than not, they soon fade away after harvesting the unwary crop of fools.
Most of these things appeal to the folks that want to short-cut the learning curve. Don't want to spend the time to learn.
Whether this latest thing works or not, I don't know but I'll bet it can't beat spitting on your finger and hunting toward the cool side. Strangely, that seems to escape folks.
