HECS® Stealthscreen fans include a wide array of global professionals including hunters, filmmakers, photographers, wildlife enthusiasts, spear fishermen, and wildlife biologists. Getting ultra-close to wildlife and staying safe while doing so is an essential part of their mission — all know the HECS® advantage first hand. They’d all have one question for you: Why aren’t you utilizing HECS® Stealthscreen technology, too? With hundreds of thousands of units sold, HECS® technology is now considered a “must have” technology for anyone who needs to get close and stay undetected by game animals.
Ask ten bowhunters to describe their favorite hunt. Likely every hunter would mention words like challenging, exciting, intense, overwhelming, and humbling…… Bowhunting isn’t all about the trophy or the venison. It’s about challenging ones-self to step outside the box.. to go the extra mile. Securing hunting permission, finding the game, patterning and setting stands, and working to bring the hunt full circle. There’s nothing like pulling all the ingredients together, to watch the target animal commit and walk unsuspectingly into bow range. Weeks of work, now boil down to 30 seconds of intense excitement. Top bowhunters all have their own system for success. Location, preparation, timing, wind, and HECS. When you cover all the bases, the odds go up. Go all in on every hunt… as that next adventure may just turn out to be the best of all.

Featured Customer Testimonials

I have seen some amazing things while wearing one. In my goose-hunting pit, the birds (sparrows, chickadees, wrens) almost feed and land within arms’ reach now. Before, they always kept their distance. They act as if I am not even there. I shot a drake mallard a few days ago and was waiting for another group of birds to work in. I pelted a drake and a hen out of them, when all of a sudden a BALD EAGLE swooped down within 30 yards and grabbed the first mallard I had shot right off the water in front of me. If that is not a HECS® moment, I don’t know what is. I did not have a camera with me and wish I did. AMAZING. I know the HECS® suit allowed me to witness this. As for me, I will probably never go to the field again without having my HECS® on my body. If I would have had this suit in Alaska, I know that I would have had even more success than I experienced. This year I will put it to the test in Alaska. I already know that the animals we are going after are in trouble. Ha Ha Ha.

While hunting for elk in NE Washington, I was calling for elk when a small twig snapped, and I began thinking to myself there was something down in the ravine below me. So I continued calling. A few minutes later another twig snapped. Finally this boar bear appeared at 35 yards through the brush, looking for elk dinner or leg of Craig. Fortunately I prevailed. There is no doubt in my mind that the HECS®garment product WORKS! CRAIG WHIPKEY

This past September I was hunting elk, in Colorado. Unfortunately, I only saw a couple elk and they were not in bow range. But I did have 8+ encounters with mule deer while hunting. Most of them were walking around at less than 5 yards trying to figure out what I was—not scared or jumpy, just curious. But I had a doe and 2 fawns walk up to me, and I am not lying, they started licking the fletching on my arrows!!! They did that for over a minute, then I started getting nervous and moved my bow. They jumped back and looked at me, then came back in to lick my arrows again (no I didn’t put anything on them!!). I moved my bow again, and when they jumped back I started walking backwards. They stood there and watched me until I was out of sight. I have never seen anything like it or heard anyone else have a similar experience. I completely believe in the HECS® suit…. You still have to contain scent and be quiet, but all the animals came in completely unalarmed! Awesome product.

It is amazing how close I can get to easily spooked animals like African plains game and the Norwegian roe deer. I even use the HECS® suit as a late-fall under layer while rifle hunting moose. Since I am using a black Norwegian elk-hound, it is necessary to get as close to the moose as possible, undetected.
TY TONNEBERG

I got my first buck with my bow, and HECS® let me get the advantage you speak about. This buck came in, and I shot him at 47 yards. It was amazing that he didn’t know I was even there. Thanks so much and thanks to HECS®!
KIRK NABER

I would like to just say thanks. The HECS® suit has made such a big difference in my bow hunting. I am just an average hunter, but since I purchased your suit, I have walked up on so many does this year it’s unreal. Tonight I was in a hurry to get to a new spot where I have seen a nice buck. It was 2pm, and I was walking at a fast pace. I was about 20 yards into the woods and walked right on 3 big does. The one doe jumped and turned around and looked at me. All three does weren’t more than 10 yards from me. I slowly raised my bow, pulled an arrow from my quiver, nocked it and drew on one. But, I decided not to shoot, because it was my first night in this area. I let off, and put my arrow away. The whole time they just stood there, then I walked slowly away from them to my stand, and they slowly walked the other way a short distance and went back to eating. I was amazed. I didn’t see that buck tonight, but did see 8 different deer within 15 yards of my stand. This isn’t the first encounter I have had this year in Ohio since I purchased my suit, but certainly it’s the most amazing one. Thanks again. How long is this suit good for? I surely want another one before this one wears out. Thanks again, and I will send pictures when I do harvest a big doe and my buck, if you want me to. CRAIG CHADWICK

Just got back this morning from Quebec and killed a nice caribou and sold half the camp in HECs. I think I have one improvement for you to think about I wear it from the time I get to a camp till I get home and I would like the waistband to be wider. After you wash it, it kinda rolls up . Check out the American eagle underwear waistband really nice. Just something to think about. That caribou makes my 24 the animal toward the 29.

I have to admit that my first hunt with my HECS® suit was simply amazing. I had left my decoy setup for a little while, and when I returned to the pasture I was hunting, I was promptly busted by a nice gobbler on the way to my decoys. I simply got down slowly on the ground, and to my disbelief the old tom resumed his stalk. I crawled about 60 yards across open pasture, raised up slowly to my knees and shot him at close range standing next to my decoys. He never even realized what was happening. This was my last hunt of the year, so I am looking forward to next season with this suit!

HECS® strikes again. This should be the biggest free-range red stag taken for the New Zealand Bowhunters Society this year. The first full year of my wearing HECS® is the greatest year any bow hunter on record in New Zealand has ever had. It will be an impressive round-up after our prizing at the Nationals.

This is my 10-year-old grandson, Cameron, who has been hunting ALL season without any luck. The last day of the season, I let him wear my HECS®, and he was successful, as the picture shows. We cannot wait to try them turkey hunting this spring!
DENISE CHRISTIAN

Wearing the HECS® suit has added to my success in the field, for sure. I have noticed the animals are a lot more calm, and I am getting away with more movement then I ever did before being introduced to HECS®. I won’t step out in the field without it.
MICHAEL BATEASE

The HECS® suit worked like a charm. I had this buck and two others at 3 yards under my stand, and they never picked up on my heart pounding out of my chest.
ANTHONY DEL DELMASTRO
Oxford, Connecticut

This trip I set up in a fence row using some old hay bales with decoys at about 10 yds or less. I used a slate call and a mouth call a couple of times over a 10-minute time frame, waiting a few minutes in between. Then I caught movement from my left. The bird was on my decoys without any gobble or noise, no strutting either. I picked up my T/C Pro Hunter muzzleloader and the bird saw movement, jumped sideways, but did not run or seem spooked. It started back to the Jake decoy and I pulled the trigger. When the smoke cloud cleared, the bird was on the ground. Scored NWTF at 59.38. 10 3/4″ beard with 1 1/8″ spurs. Took me about 5 minutes to calm down enough to go out to my bird. Thanks to HECS® for a great product.

Just put a HECS® suit on and get outdoors. You, too, will be rewarded with success like I have. Thank you, HECS®, for giving me the advantage on completing my goals with consistent success, season after season!

Every time I grab my bow and head into the woods, I have an edge over most hunters. With my HECS® suit I approach my quarry with more confidence then ever. I have stalked game with increasing success every time I put on my HECS® suit.

Without HECS, there was no way I would have harvested the official #3 archery bird in Texas. Thanks HECS!
STEVE ALLEMAN

After a two-and-a-half-hour stalk on this buck and his three little friends, I was able to get an arrow in him at 20 yards. Using HECS® definitely allowed me to get close enough to a bachelor group of 4 bucks and shoot this Utah mule deer.
JASON CLEVELAND

If you want to be successful, year after year, while bow hunting, make sure HECS Stealthscreen is a part of your hunting equipment. Just returned from a bison hunt, while wearing HECS, we were able to stalk up to 28 yards and you can see the results. I have been in the hunting business for over 40 years and I have always worn HECS since it was introduced to me. I will not hunt without it. The new hoodie is excellent, especially with the built in face mask.
BILL EPEARDS

Too many times in my hunting career I have been busted for no apparent reason. The first time I used HECS® I put a nice mature 11pt buck down, and his behavior prior to the shot was very different than the normal alert. It was like he felt no danger and didn’t know I was there. I look forward to many more seasons of success stories.

I’ve killed my two biggest whitetails with a bow since I began wearing a HECS® suit. It is now one item you won’t find me in the stand without in the fall.

In my home state of Hawaii I hunted for sheep, and strangely, the sheep seemed to not feel very threatened by me, even at close range. Multiple times I had them at 10 yds look at me and go back to feeding. I even moved on purpose and got away with quite a bit. These sheep are usually surprisingly skittish in this particular area. The suit was also light enough to wear as a base layer, even in Hawaii. The shirt was awesome by itself when the temps heated up. I went overnight and saw lots of animals and made a good shot on a decent ram. Thanks again HECS®!

Got my suit just in time—thank you so much! Had a bear 2 feet from my blind and several others a little further. Shot this big boar at 10 yards, and he didn’t have a clue I was there. Going back to Manitoba up in Canada the first week of September on a bear/whitetail combo archery hunt with the Open Season cast and crew to have my hunt filmed. Wish I had the camo suit, but you guys were out of ’em. I’m very impressed. This suit is gonna revolutionize hunting!!! It’s awesome!!!!!

I wear HECS® everytime I’m hunting. Every year I’m filling tags and accomplishing goals with my bow. It’s been HECS®-CESS for me!
MIKE MCCALL
Livermore, California | Go Deep Outdoors Host

I wear HECS® as an undergarment because it is lightweight and breathable. You don’t even realize you are wearing it until you notice the difference in the animal’s behavior. HECS® has contributed to my bowhunting success.

I was hunting in a small patch of woods in Illinois. Two other smaller bucks had come in, fed all around me and never seemed to know I was there. Then this buck came in and was unaware of me also. I shot this buck at 20 yards; the HECS®suit worked like a charm! Thanks again HECS!
JACKIE CAUDLE

HECS® works! All season I have had deer ALL around me. They have come from every direction, up wind, cross-wind and down wind, and I have yet to be busted. I drew my bow on this buck within 20 yards of me, with other deer even closer … you can see the proof of the product’s effectiveness.
DAVE DUNCAN
Fort Worth, Texas

HECS®gives me confidence to know I can move in close to game animals without being busted by the dreaded “sixth sense” of the animals I am stalking. Given the fantastic results I have enjoyed since I have started using HECS, I now make it part of my everyday setup when I head out into the field with my bow.
GRANT FOSTER
Salt Lake City, Utah

I purchased 3 HECS® suits for our annual out-west hunt. I gave one to my son and the other to the landowner/outfitter. I was skeptical about them and was on the end of a lot of jokes in camp about the “Hippie Vibe” suits. This was my 15th year hunting the area, and I could not believe how the animals discounted our presence with HECS®. Two of our three mule deer stalks were successful, and we backed out of the one because of changing winds. Dan’s (my son’s) deer is green scoring over 210 and is 36” wide. This should be the North Dakota state record. My deer is 170+. By the way, the hunters making fun of the HECS® suits did not get a deer. Great product that I will now always hunt with.

I killed this buck in Adams County, Ohio, where I reside. He was 30 yards down wind. I have hunted a little on the ground and had deer in my lap that seemed curious but not spooked.

The secret to being a successful bow hunter is getting close. If you are serious about getting close to big game animals, put HECS® to the test. Once you do, you will never hunt without it.
JEFF DOBBINS
Mountain View, Arkansas

I was able to take this Florida Osceola at 10 yards with my bow. I was sitting on a chair in the wide open and drew my bow while he was facing me, he gave me no reaction whatsoever. I know this sounds impassible, but the HECS® suit simply makes slow movements possible, even when birds are facing you. They tell me this bird is one of the largest Osceolas ever taken by a woman with a bow!
KAITLYN SLINKARD

I got a HECS® suit for my birthday before deer season, and I believe it helped me have the greatest hunt that I have ever had. I had a giant start to hit a scrape about 28 yards away. After 5 mins he turned and walked directly to me. I thought the deer was going to walk into be, but he stopped at 5 yards and stared at me for 30-45 seconds. When he finally turned his head to turn back around, I drew my bow back. He heard me, then jumped out to about 25 yards where I shot him quartering away! Craziest most heart-pounding experience ever!
BRANDON QUANDT

I am a nurse, and after seeing your product I immediately thought it was a fantastic idea. Since I deal with EKGs on a daily basis, I am familiar with how our body really does flow electrical energy. I am a firm believer in the animals sixth sense, and your product really works. I enjoy hunting even more now and will continue to use your excellent product. This November I had several does bed does within 20 yards from my tree, calmer than ever before. Thirty minutes later this ten point came in bumping the does around. Luckily I made a great shot and had an awesome hunt.
TRAV SCOTT

Here I am in my HECS® suit with my trophy Wyoming mule deer from a spot and stalk hunt. The suit made it possible to get within 15 yards after an 800-yard stalk and being looked over several times by him and his buddies. Thanks!
SHAD HARRISON

I have been hunting turkeys for 25 years and HECS® is the biggest game-changer I have ever seen. To say this technology changed the way I hunt would be cutting it a bit short. I hunt the same way I always have, just getting much closer with non-aware game. I feel invisible. You can bet I will be wearing HECS®wherever I hunt.
PARREY CREMEANS

Being an extreme Bowhunter for 30 years and living to spot and stalk hunt in tough conditions, I have used HECS® for 5 years. I have seen it make a significant difference in calming animals numerous times. HECS, for me, was a great help in completing my 29 North American Super Slam.

Bottom line, our energy is given off to animals. They respond to it, but HECS® garments can control this sixth sense.
