Hunt Comfort’s new Lone Wolf Custom is out. This new seat is our first ever hunting seat built specifically for a treestand seat platform. We used our award winning SL or SuperLight GEL seat formula and modified our three layer “Rich Stack” foam system to work specially with the Lone Wolf Alpha platform – the result is amazing. The seat is very compact and provides a high level of seated comfort.

Photos from development show the cushion core and the precision cut tolerances of the interior.

Seats are covered with Hunt Comfort’s ComfortTEX outdoor seating fabrics built expressly for the demands of hunting. This technical seating fabric is waterproof, quiet, durable and gives into the cushion mechanics to reduce harmful shear forces on the skin. The new Custom is handmade and expertly finished in Evergreen, Alabama.

The new seats are available from Lone Wolf. The Lone Wolf website is http://www.lonewolfhuntingproducts.com/ or call telephone number 309-691-WOLF. As always Hunt Comfort welcomes your thoughts and feedback toll free at 888.757.3232

These colossal acorns are part of a bumper crop of acorns this year in the South. These are chestnut oak acorns and the deer tracks are all around. These acorns measure nearly an inch and a half in length and weigh over 1/2 an ounce each. You will know it if one drops and hits you on the head!

Hunt Comfort ComfortTEX fabrics are built for outdoor seating. Hunting puts gear to the extreme and we build our products knowing they are bound for extreme duty. With the off season coming, many seasoned hunters like to give their trusty gear the once over. This post is to provide a little in depth information on what you have and how to care for it.

ComfortTEX is super durable and waterproof. There are a few important built-in benefits you never see. First, we do not use fabrics treated with UV dye brighteners – deer are sensitive to UV brightened fabric. Fabric is laminated with a waterproof, breathable polyurethane membrane on the “back” – you do not see the “back”. Our camo print is treated with a UV protectant so colors do not wash out in the sun and turn some odd purple a week later. Lastly, ComfortTEX is treated on the “face” with a DWR finish that provides Durability and Water Repellency. We use a finish treatment that repels both oil and water. Whatever DWR finish we use, the truth is that you are going to start slowly wearing that finish down the first day you go hunting. The claim that our DWR finish can withstand a fire hose is reassuring but hunting is very demanding on gear. So after a hard season you may need to renew your DWR. This is a simple maintenance job that will give your seat years of extra life.

Here is what we recommend: First hand clean your seat with a mild, scent free detergent – NO BLEACH. Cold water and scrub it up with a rag and rinse it off. Hang to dry for a day in a warm or sunny spot. Do Not Machine Wash, Do Not Machine Dry. Once dry, you need a spray on DWR Renewer from your favorite hunting or camping supplier. You do not want a Wash-in DWR or a Heat Activated DWR Renewer these are meant for clothing. Tent treatment sprays are usually good. We have found lots of good good options like ATSKO Extreme (not their Heat Activated Spray), Grangers, the new ScotchGuard Fabric/Upholstery Spray and Tectron. Just remember to avoid product sets that say Machine Wash and Heat Activate. Most good hunting and camping stores are going know exactly what you need. Please read the instructions and spot test first. When in doubt, just give us a call. Be sure to allow a full day to dry before putting you gear up for the next hunt.

Taking care of your gear is easy and a can of DWR renewal spray will go a long way. Try using this tip on your clothes.

Hunt Comfort Chief SuperLight Hunting Cushion

Chief is Hunt Comfort’s new ultra premium, all purpose hunting cushion. Built on our SuperLight cushion formula, a Chief measures 15 x 12 inches and weighs only 1 pound and 12 ounces, and delivers an amazing comfort level for the demands of any extended hunting or outdoor activity. Four years of development and testing were invested in Hunt Comfort’s SuperLight seating formula and the results are outstanding. The exploded view picture helps describe our three layer Rich Stack Foam and Gel “sandwich”.

Chief replaces our Classic seat design which has been in service for 14 years. We will be making Chief in all both camo and solid natural colors. When you are looking for a light weight seat that fits the bill for any outdoor occasion, the Chief is the obvious pick. Chief will be in stores summer 2011.

We had a call to make a predator hunting seat. We like the idea of making something specific for predator hunters. After some discussion, we began looking at some of our old design idea books – and we had sketches of an idea that jumped out. The last week of January we built a pattern and cut the seat core. It looked pretty interesting and our sales reps were encouraging. After some lively grumbling and edits we had Scout. It is a phenomenal sit. This seat seems to have taken on a life of its own. We immediately knew that turkey hunters would enjoy this seat in addition to our predator hunting fanatics.

Hunt Comfort introduced the new Scout turkey and predator hunting seat to the dealer market last week. It passed the test with flying colors. We are posting this image and making the seats available immediately. The seat is not for everybody – it is a small 10.5 x 15 inches, thin 2.5 inches and built to pack a lot of performance in a highly portable seat – 1 pound 6 ounces. For the specialized hunting enthusiast it is a dynamite package. The seat uses the new SL seat cushion technology of the Specialist seat set and it sits like a dream.

We could never put it better. This “once in a lifetime” buck was taken in Manitoba.

I shot this in Manitoba the 10th of Nov. and he scored 173.625 (gross). I had saved for this trip for over three years and knew I had to bring all the best gear I could, fortunately I had recently purchased a new Hunt Comfort seat and was one of the best decision I had made. This was an all day hunt from sun up to sun down (about 14 hours a day) and I shot him on the fourth day. Yes, I sat in the rain (as you can see from the pic’s, sorry not any better) for four days and your seat never faltered always extremely conferrable! Just think, I sat one this for over 56 hours and even when my buddies where complaining about their “rears” hurting I was still able to go out and sit for two more days taking photo’s. What a great product, I truly believe I would not of had this opportunity without it, gotta be there when the opportunity presents it self.

Thank you so much for developing a product that can use all day in total comfort, I know I’m sold!

Eric Zinczenko, Vice President and Group Publisher of Outdoor Life and Field and Stream magazines, presents David Robinson, President of Hunt Comfort, with Field and Stream magazine’s coveted Best of the Best Award for the Specialist folding cushion in the Hunting Essentials Category at the 2011 ATA Trade Show in Indianapolis. It was a super fun day!
Today was made especially fun by having the opportunity to see and talk with the creative professionals who put these iconic hunting magazines together.

We are very proud of the expert craftsmanship that the people of Hunt Comfort produce every day. This award is a lovely honor that celebrates the innovation and excellence that we pursue. We are reminded that quality and innovation cannot sit still to be successful ….and some lucky days you get to dance!

After spending $5,000** on a hunt of a lifetime, you might assume that the lodge or outfitter has a comfortable setup ready for that chance at a B&C buck. Never assume! Being prepared can prevent a fanny crippling, miserable endurance that might put you in the clinic instead of the taxidermy shop. Fact is, dedicated hunters routinely wreck themselves during the season and guides routinely neglect their customer’s comfort afield – their job is finding big deer.

Imagine: 15 degrees, 20 mph stiff wind and this is your morning setup:

“the guide pointed to a rock about 18″ in diameter. I ask him what the rock was for, the guide told me this was my stand for the day. It was about 30 minutes before daylight so he expected me to sit on a rock for approximately 11 hours.”

“But one positive thing I can say is that I had your Hunt Comfort Cushion between my ass and those rocks for almost 50 hours. Thanks for such a great product.”

We received this note from a hunter back from a recent trip to Canada. The results of sitting on a rock for a week is just not on most guide’s radar. The remedy is easier on the budget than a tank of gas. Hunt Comfort is First Class seating for every hunt – year after year.
