D.I.Y. Heater Body Suit - Take 2 (better design)
My second attempt at a DIY Heater Body Suit, and I think it tuened out much better. I went on eBay and bought a set of size 5XL insulated coveralls. I really lucked out because they were like new, and they were in the older Realtree Hardwoods Grey which is one of my favorite patterns. I cut off and sewed the sleeves at the shoulders. Then I cut the entire inseam all the way up both legs to the crotch. Then I sewed them backwards, meaning I sewed the two front inseams together and the two back inseams together. Then sewed the bottom straight across. The result is a body-bag like camo insulated cocoon I can pack compactly, carry to my spot, get into and stay warm. Let me know what you guys think!

I have thought about just getting a lightweight sleeping bag on those cold mornings. I like your design though

Thanks. I tried the sleeping bag thing but they are pretty bulky & the fabric is usually nylon or something thats kinda noisy like that. Plus its difficult to find one in a decent Camo pattern that is in a reasonable price range. This one is quiet & I can roll it up to fit in a small backpack, and it was pretty cheap on ebay.

Thanks glad you like it! Unfortunately it has not been cold enough here for me to use it yet.
