Description
Every seasoned hunter has a highlight reel: a handful of the best, most memorable hunts that will stick with them for a lifetime. The design and science behind HECS garments bring these moments to the next level. Our patented StealthScreen technology will get you closer to the action and make you less detectable to wildlife in a way other outdoor brands can only dream about.
The HECS High-Performance Baselayer Shirt utilizes a semi-thermal, high-performance wicking fabric with a snug fit to insulate hunters against the everchanging elements. Whether you’re prepping for a winter turkey hunt or embarking on a spring bear hunt, you’ll stay comfortable in a variety of conditions. But that’s only the beginning of the countless benefits of HECS technology, woven into gear like the high-rated, high-performance baselayer shirt.
The main advantage of the HECS base layer shirt is how much closer you can get to animals in their undisturbed state. Utilizing the HECS patented conductive grid that is woven right into the fabric, prey will perceive you as an inanimate object rather than a living being.
With the right base layers, you’ll maintain multi-level concealment in the field without sacrificing comfort, fit or quietness. Put the HECS® advantage to work and you will experience a success like you never believed possible.

Multi-Level Concealment in the Wild with HECS® StealthScreen Technology
To obtain perfect shot placement, hunters must encroach on an animal’s territory undetected. The closer you get, the better the shot.
But that’s easier said than done! Animals have a wide variety of senses to help them stay safe from hunters. Most hunters are aware of sight, scent, and sound, but many don’t realize that animals also sense the bioelectrical outputs that other living beings produce to distinguish living beings and movements from inanimate ones.
Recent scientific studies confirm that many animals, birds, and fish can actually sense the ever present bioelectrical signature given off by all living beings — the energy emitted from muscle movement and other natural biological processes.
So despite head-to-toe camouflage, resourceful hunting accessories, and expert hunting skills, animals can still become alarmed by an unfamiliar electrical field. It is actually the “sixth Sense” many veteran hunters have identified and talked about but never fully understood until the scientific breakthroughs that occurred a decade or so ago.
Once an animal is aware of your presence and he understands what you are, things generally get tough from there.
In 2010, HECS® introduced technology that largely solved this problem and brought hunters closer to game without being detected on the electrical plane. After extensive research, HECS fabrics were developed. They feature a conductive carbon grid that is woven right into the fabric. This patented fabric is called HECS StealthScreen technology, and it is applied to many clothing product options to shield our bioelectrical signatures.
The innovative StealthScreen technology basically places a Faraday cage around your body by intertwining a conductive carbon fiber grid with high-quality fabric. These high-caliber hunting clothes prevent about 90% of your bioelectrical emissions from escaping, which completely changes your presence electrically!
Without HECS® StealthScreen technology incorporated into your gear, your electrical emissions can easily be detected by animals. Without that extra protection, you’re taking an unnecessary risk of alarming wildlife to your presence. With HECS the difference can be profound!
When you pair the HECS High-Performance Baselayer Shirt with additional hunting gear from the HECS Base Layer System, you’ll soon see what successful hunters have been raving about for over a decade!.
Necessary items to complete your full HECS system and see the benefits include:
HECS High-Performance Base Layer Pant or other HECS pant option
HECS™ Headcover
HECHunting Gloves
HECS Socks
Semi-Thermal, High-Performance Wicking Fabric
The HECS High-Performance Baselayer Shirt was created with hunters in mind to enhance field performance in various environments. From the mountain tops to the river valleys, HECS® adds a layer of protection so you stay insulated against all conditions while also seeing the awesome power of HECS technology!
The HECS High-Performance Baselayer Shirt is made from proprietary materials to keep hunters protected against any elements nature might throw their way. This base layer shirt utilizes a lightweight semi-thermal fabric that is silent and comfortable while also effectively wicking perspiration away from the skin.
Wear the HECS High-Performance Baselayer Shirt over existing hunting gear or as a base layer — either way, you’ll stay comfortable while your bioelectric emissions are captured and redirected.
When it’s hot and your sweating, the moisture-wicking fabric effortlessly helps you stay dry, so it’s easier for your body to regulate its temperature. This helps you retain heat in cold conditions and keep cool when the weather is warm.
The HECS High-Performance Baselayer Shirt is a long-sleeve quarter-zip henley. For added comfort and flexibility, it includes thumb holes so you won’t struggle with sleeves sliding up your arms when you are wearing it under other clothing. It comes in three color options: Olive, Green, and Anywhere.
You can also wear other HECS garments to complete your system. It is imperative that the hunter has the complete system in order to see the HECS advantage. The most basic system includes a HECS top, pants and headcover. Pairing the base layer shirt with additional products from our HECS Base Layer System offers hunters a simple way to attain the power of HECS.

I will never hunt without hecs clothing again. I have used it for 5 years now and it is literally more important than your scent!
Great product
So far... amazing product. Gave it a try in my front yard with some local blacktail deer and they actually came TO me instead of running off! I think I may need to buy more! Thank you
Fits great
"HECS won me over years ago when I wore it for the 1st time on an evening deer hunt. I shot a doe right at dusk & upon approaching the downed deer another deer was standing in tall CRP 20 feet from my doe. It stood there staring at me as I got closer with my head lamp on the standing deer. I was able to walk right up to what turned out to be a small spike. It eventually turned and started walking away without showing any signs of spooking. I increased my pace from a stalk to steady stride. At this point I was walking right next to its hind quarter. I reached out & touched its tail. It glanced back at me but never spooked. I walked alone side the deer until it got to the edge of the CRP field & jumped a fence. It turned to at me as if he was waiting for me to continue following him.
A week later I had a 4 deer run toward me as I was leaving the freshly plowed up field after a stand hunt. It was dark & I was looking at the deer through my scope with the ad of my light. The eye shine seemed to be getting sharper & larger when I realized they were running toward me. I dropped to the ground belly down & scope up. By then I couldn’t find the deer in the scope & the next thing I heard was the sound of feed throwing dirt. I cover my head with my rifle as the deer leaped right over me kicking dirt in my face & on my back.
I’ve also had a small group of hogs walk right around me while I was standing in the middle of a logging road during turkey season. I was able to drop 3 of the with my shotgun after they all passed in front of me with the closest one at 5 yards.
I will forever be a believer in your product & I don’t hunt without it."
"Works great. This is my second one."
"Love this suit just bought a second one"
"I will be buying the rest of the suit in the coming weeks just in time for Bear hunting"
"Harvested my bear with it, I used the full system, it works!"
"Game changer!"
"I have had some amazing experiences with all kinds of animals while wearing HECS. This product works extremely well!"
"HECS works exactly as described."
"Walked up on a doe 10 feet away"
"I was nervous about the fit and quality of the product at first. The package arrived a lot quicker than I expected and was well packaged. The shirt fit perfectly and was comfortable. I wore the base layers the next day on a hunt and noticed an immediate difference in the way animals reacted to me."
"I just received my HECS two days ago, and I have only used my new HECS clothes twice so far.
I truly believe that I can tell a huge difference.
I had a nice buck right up under my tree stand yesterday with me hanging pretty much out in the wide open.
This morning, I had two does feed around me for 30 minutes and I actually tried to test out the clothing by moving around more than I normally would. The two does looked my way, but just wagged their tails and kept feeding.
Squirrels don’t know that I exist. I had a dozen squirrels this morning running and climbing trees all around me coming within 3 feet of me at times and they never seemed to recognize me.
Like I said said, I just received the clothing but so far, I am very impressed."
"I think ever hunter needs a hecs suit they work and not too hot. Base layer works good I'm gonna get mote"
"love my hecs."
"Perfect fit !! great product !!"
"Great product"
"Absolutely stunning , this is my 2nd suit , kick up my hunting season a few knotches."
"Out of the package I was impressed with the fabric, light weight, breathable, yet well made. Haven’t tested the technology, so the hype is yet to be seen."
"I have had a set for the past 6yrs and have had great success and encounters. I had to buy another set cuz the old set is wore out love the hecs system I recommend them to all my hunting buddies"
"It works"
"I got it fast and it fits perfectly ready for deer "
"First time wearing this in the woods and had a nice buck come right up to me as if I wasn't even there!!!!"
"I've only had the opportunity to use it one time. The results I was looking for was great! The deer and pigs were downwind from me, and I went undetected as far as smell. They knew I was there, and something wasn't right, but they didn't run and disappear. That was a success for me for the first hunt with the suit."
"It works."
"Everything looks good! Can't wait to try it out in 10 days. Heading to western Oklahoma to go after Rio's on the 20th. Thanks for the fast shipping! Ed"
"I’ve only been out twice so I’ve not had the experience some claim with turkey or deer - but I’ll say if other wildlife around me is an indication, deer and turkey will soon be to follow. I had numerous close interactions with two squirrels, finches, and a hummingbird. I would say the fit runs large in most articles. I like the thumb holes in the base layer shirt, they keep the gloves on tighter. So far so good."
