"Heater Body Suit" and baselayers VS. heavy jacket longjohns and heavy pants

would getting the heater body suit in order to shed the bulk ofcold weather clothes (heavy boots, marshmello man jacket, long johns)be a good idea? I hunt Virginia so the weather is fairly mild but i love to hunt late season and it can get pretty cold. if i got it should i only wear baselayers to my stand? this has been nagging me.

haha, that thing is crazy, i saw Jim Shockeys dad wearing it on TV the other day and was like WTH IS THAT THING?!?!

I'd go with something more traditional, i normally wear under armour cold gear and a long sleeve shirt then top it off with a hooded sweatshirt, toss in a carhart and im good...

I selected "the heater body suit is a gimick" only because there wasn't a "the heater body suit is a "joke" option, it's a sleeping bag with sleeves for cryin' out loud. N. Va. is in USDA hardiness zones 6B and 7A, which is warmer on average than zone 6A where I live in Southern Indiana, buy some woolens and grow a pair ya big sissy...
