HECS Hunting

HECS developed a revolutionary approach to hunting gear: instead of trying to hide you visually, their patented technology prevents animals from detecting the electrical energy your body naturally emits. When your heart beats and muscles move, fish, birds, and mammals sense those signals. HECS weaves a carbon grid—similar to what you'd find on a microwave door—directly into the fabric to block those electrical emissions.

This means wildlife perceives you as an inanimate object rather than prey, allowing them to behave naturally in their habitat.

You'll still be visible and your scent will carry, but removing the electrical detection component changes the game significantly.

To get the full benefit, HECS recommends covering as much of your body as possible. Their approach is modular—build your own system or grab pre-built bundles:

• •Individual pieces range from $19.99 (headcovers, hats) to $159.99 (full hoodie with integrated face cover). Beanies, gloves, socks, and multi-rags round out the lineup.

• •Hunting shirts and pants in multiple weight classes
• •Hoodies with integrated face covers
• •High-performance base layers
• •Headcovers and face masks
• •Hunting hats and beanies
• •Gloves and performance socks
• •Pre-built systems optimized for different hunting styles
• •Branded merchandise and gift cards

HECS is a family-owned American business based in John Day, Oregon. They conceptualize, design, develop, and test all products in-house—no outsourced design. Their focus is specifically on hunters who understand that detecting electrical energy changes how wildlife responds to your presence.
