IWOM

[Deersurgeon]

Busted it out this evening with the change in weather. I’ve had mine for 4 years and I have definitely got my moneys worth plus I bought one for the wife which covers up my 8 year old son great too. Makes it nice not sweating my ass off walking in as I have it rolled up on my waist and I’m wearing one layer walking in and stay warm the entire time. I haven’t seen much posted about it and wanted to keep fellow too members aware as I really utilize this piece of equipment for cold weather sits.

I love mine, might break it out in the AM, torn between that and my sitka bibs.

I've never used one but I've heard great things about them.

You had me excited until I seen the cost lol

Have you looked at Sitka or First lite or other higher end quality gear prices lately?

The whole suit is $400, each piece (top and bottom) of sitka fanatic is $350.... and my IWOM is much warmer than my fanatic bibs.

To put it into perspective.
I'm currently wearing:
Underwear
200weight icebreaker top and bottom
midweight icebreaker socks
Army multicam bottoms
danner insulated boots
wooby hoody
polarfleece stocking cap
IWOM

Its 33° and I'm toasty and not completely zipped up and the good/ face wrap isn't on.

I was able to walk 600 yards with almost nothing on, be warm when i got to the stand and I'm doing great.

 

[Deersurgeon]

Completely agree plus I’m not buying up hand, body, and feet warmers left and right anymore which just like everything else their prices are sneaking up.

Edited out does have a cutout for a harness this idiot hasn't found it.

That's one really nice thing i noticed in my sitka gear.

Love hate with mine. Amazing warmth and packability. Don’t like getting into it in the stand or trying to climb with it bunched up. For specific height and body sizing- the fiy is lacking, it has Velcro and despite having the best model the hood/mask is not removable and sucks. Bulky arms for archery. For a gun, blind, or bowhunter (with a arm guard or sleeve) it is amazing for being out there in garbage weather or adding it a light setup after you get way back in. The feet together was my big concern and hasn’t been at all. Let me also say - that my biggest gun deer all came from ideal conditions on horrid weather days…. Wearing an iwom.

I have The Warm Bag. Got it at the D&T Expo years ago. It kot me out there in 10 degree wind chill the other day. First I've worn it in years. Noisy material on inside. Not the easiest to slide arms in and out of. It also wasn't $400. Maybe I should have spent s little more and gotten the IWOM or Heater Bodysuit.

My goal is too never need too use one of those…. But I seriously doubt I’ll meet that goal…

They offer a lot a onzie or heavy weight set does not. Had a warmbag and another HBS- the iwom was the best. They’re useless for stalking though. A touch noisy esp on some bark. It isn’t a replacement for GWW, incinerator or a sanctuary set due to function but I’ll take it for the harshest sits over the others if that is all I’m doing.

I was wearing a heavier weight sock and long john bottom today. Also a more windproof hat and gaiter.
Very toasty, but my hands were freezing while checking this and social media.

I left the Warm Bag at home this morning but put an extra base layer today. I've gotten the Sitka bibs and now the parka. Pretty impressive combo. 15-20mph winds and I'm about to head back out for the last 4hrs. Probably 3-3.5 by the time in in the tree.

Wish I had my rain gear yesterday and my iwom today. Feel like both are kicked my ass… and i know tomorrow is another 15 colder than today.

I believe they are Fanatic top and bottom also the hoodie. I had two base layers as well and an Army wool sweater. Brought my boot covers but never pulled them out. Same tonight. Was even warmer. Had a little more wind shelter tonight. Flat tundra country the wind rips thru you.
