Not sure, they look interesting. Im lucky in the foot department, have a pair of rocky extreme stalkers or something like that and I just wear a pair of cotton socks and can sit all day. Yep I said cotton. :D Guess if I ever get cold feet, Ill switch sock material, but Ive had these boots a loooonnnggggg time and never a problem.

What, that is like summer up here! ;)


Yeah that seems like a little over kill. I would reach for a can of spinach first. That's like the ideal temp.
It's not a problem, it's a opportunity for a solution.

Hardly any noise at all. It's like any other piece of equipment, take a little practice to master but is extremely useful. Another advantage of the HBS is that it conceals any fidgeting that you made do, little hand movements and so on, until you're ready for a shot.

Alot of the walks to my stand are close to a mile and wearing anything more than just base layers will cause me to rain on the walk in. Having the HBS strapped to my stand allows me to walk without getting sweated up, but still be warm enough when I do get on stand.

I like the hbs because I can wear just about anything underneath it and still be warm. Half the time I don't need long underwear, just jeans a sweatshirt, boots and a hat. It makes for little to no prep time....I go from work to the marsh I no time.

Sorry guys I messed my last post up horribly. I was trying to say that the hbs allows me to get into the woods and or marsh quickly with out a lot of prep. The hbs goes over my jeans and coat no problem. I can get away with not wearing a lot of bulky clothes.

I wear mine in the 40's too. Its nice to walk in in jeans and a long sleeve t shirt and be able to hunt in the comfort of a sleeping bag all day. ;)
