Never used a heater body suit. But we do have an IWOM. It’s incredibly warm and worth every penny. Windoroof, waterproof, and scent containing.

I wouldn’t hesitate to use one. Just not sure how much use you’d get out of it here in Ky.

Use my HBS maybe 8-10 times a year. Takes a little getting used too( especially out of a tree stand) but works very well. I live in Indiana but have a farm in northern KY. Haven’t had to use it in KY but only a couple times in January. One of the benefits is not having to wear much clothing underneath. You can get to your stand fairly comfortable without sweating then jump into the suite and be comfortable all day.

I about froze to death in a tree one day, wind and sleet came in fast, the next day I wore my Chest waders in the deer stand. Sweated in and stayed Toasty. Just hard to relieve yourself.
I know a fellow that used an electric jacket and socks.what happens when your relying on that and get a short or battery dies?
I have two Jon-E pocket heaters that I carry if it’s bad.

I’ve thought about buying one for my old man. He’s 80 and likes hunting late season when it’s cold more than any other time. They are expensive but sometimes on eBay you can find good deals on gently used

They're great. Have had em for 10-15 yrs. Takes a little practice getting in one in the stand. The smaller the stand, the greater the pucker factor. They roll up with included straps and can be worn like backpack to and from.

IWOM for the win! Cause you don't have to get out of it to shoot! It has arms unlike the HBS.

It really is a great product. I’ve sat in temps as low as 9° without issue. All I had on underneath was jeans, and hoodie. The rest of me was completely covered, even your feet, by the IWOM. You have full range of mobility.

$400 no thanks. I'll put on the most cold weather clothes I have, take it as long as I can, then go home.

Sleeping Bag?
I’ve done that sitting in a ground blind. If you are standing you would need straps or something to hold it up. Also, the canvas style are more quiet than a lot of the extreme sleeping bags.
