RE: Heater Body Suit
Have never used it but it looks interesting. Could be kind of awkward getting into with big muddy boots on. I wonder if it gets warm enough to produce steam when it's really cold out. I had a doe spot my breath last winter.

RE: Heater Body Suit
Steve,
I have the Heater Suit for about 3 yrs now. I have found the suit to be ahelp when it is cold and damp, the zipper works very smoothly and getting in and out of the suit is very easy. There is a huge overboot that comes with the suit that you put over your shoes before getting into the suit to keep mess out of the suit. I have not experienced any problem with the suit steaming up on the inside, I don't know how it performs in the rain since I have not been out in the rain with it.
I cannot standcold weather and I wear the suit with an insulated one piece and I must confess that at times I still get cold. There again, most folks aren't as apt to get cold when I do. For me, it helps but I get cold if it is down in 20s or so.Hope this helps.
