WHAT IS THE WARMEST HUNTING SUIT?
When you're planning a cold-weather hunt, warmth isn't just about wearing the thickest coat you can find. Long sits change everything.
The IWOM HeatLoc Pro Extreme was designed specifically around that long-sit style of hunting.
EXPLORE THE HEATLOC PRO EXTREMETHE COLDER PART OF THE HUNT STARTS WHEN YOU STOP MOVING.
Hiking, climbing and carrying gear generate additional body heat. Too much insulation during the walk can even make you sweat.
Once you're motionless in a stand or blind, heat production drops while wind and cold keep working against you.
WALK IN. SET UP. LOCK IN THE WARMTH.
The HeatLoc system changes with the hunt instead of forcing you to wear full-body insulation during every part of it.
FANNY PACK / CARRY MODE
Roll the suit into its self-contained carry configuration for the hike to your hunting location.
JACKET MODE
Wear it in jacket mode when you need more mobility while setting up, climbing or getting situated.
FULL-BODY CONTAINMENT
Extend the suit around your lower body and feet for the part of the hunt when heat retention matters most.
WARMTH IS A SYSTEM.
INSULATION
Insulation slows the loss of the body heat you're already producing.
WIND PROTECTION
A wind barrier helps protect that warm pocket of air from moving cold air.
MOISTURE PROTECTION
Keeping insulating layers protected from rain and wet conditions is critical.
FULL-BODY CONTAINMENT
Reducing exposed areas and garment gaps helps create a more complete cold-weather system.
YOUR LEGS AND FEET ARE PART OF THE WARMTH SYSTEM.
Traditional cold-weather setups usually separate the upper body, waist, legs and boots into several individual pieces.
HeatLoc approaches the stationary portion of the hunt differently: the full-length configuration surrounds the lower body and closes around the foot area to create a more contained space.
DETAILS MATTER WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPS.
KEEP THE ELEMENTS OUT.
The HeatLoc Pro Extreme uses waterproof and windproof construction with heat-sealed seams and rubberized zippers.
STAY COVERED. STAY READY.
Warm gear isn't very useful if it gets in the way when the opportunity finally arrives.
The HeatLoc design keeps the hunter's arms and hands accessible while the lower body remains enclosed, allowing the system to work during bow and firearm hunting situations.
WHAT KIND OF HUNTING SYSTEM FITS YOUR HUNT?
Different approaches have different strengths. The important part is matching the system to how you'll actually be hunting.

EVEN THE WARMEST HUNTING SUIT WORKS AS A SYSTEM.
Adjust your layers for the temperature, wind, moisture, activity level and how long you expect to remain stationary.
BASE LAYER
Manage moisture against your skin and avoid becoming damp during the walk in.
INSULATING LAYERS
Add fleece, wool or other insulation appropriate for the conditions and your personal cold tolerance.
HEATLOC OUTER SYSTEM
Add insulated, waterproof and windproof full-body protection for the stationary portion of the hunt.
BUILT FOR HUNTERS WHO DON'T WANT THE COLD ENDING THE HUNT.
WARMEST HUNTING SUIT FAQ
What is the warmest type of hunting suit?
There isn't one universally warmest hunting suit because warmth depends on temperature, wind, moisture, activity, layering and the individual hunter. For long stationary hunts, look for insulation, wind protection, moisture protection and coverage that reduces exposed gaps around the lower body.
What should I look for in a top-rated cold-weather hunting suit?
Look at more than insulation alone. Consider wind and water protection, coverage around the legs and feet, freedom of movement, noise, how the suit works with a safety harness and how easily it transitions between walking and sitting.
What is the best hunting clothing for sitting all day?
Long sits usually require more insulation and weather protection than active hunting. A moisture-managing base layer, insulating mid-layers and an outer system that limits exposure to wind and precipitation are a strong starting point.
Are full-body hunting suits warmer than jackets and bibs?
A full-body containment system can reduce some of the separations and exposed areas found in multi-piece clothing systems. Actual warmth still depends on insulation, weather conditions and the layers worn underneath.
Do I still need layers under the HeatLoc Pro Extreme?
Yes. Your base and insulating layers should be adjusted to the conditions. The HeatLoc Pro Extreme becomes the insulated, weather-protective outer system around those layers.
Does the HeatLoc Pro Extreme require batteries?
No. HeatLoc does not depend on electric heating or batteries. Its warmth comes from insulation, weather protection and the full-body containment design.
Can I bow hunt while wearing the HeatLoc?
Yes. The design leaves your arms and hands available while using the full-length configuration, and it can also be worn in jacket mode when greater mobility is needed.
WHEN THE HUNT GETS COLD, STAY IN THE HUNT.
Insulated. Waterproof. Windproof. Convertible full-body protection built around the long sit.
