Here is a look at how we use clinical pressure mapping to see how well our seats perform. This is live data from the 2008 Shot Show. We tested a good many writers and outdoor personalities. A summary of good, bad and average results is posted at: http://www.huntcomfort.com/Shot2008.pdf

Steve tells us that the FatBoy has played a valuable part in some memorable gobbler hunts this year. A comfortable, relaxed sit sure helps with being patient.

We plan to update and edit as needed.
This past summer over dinner, JJ Reich the field test coordinator for NAHC overheard me say that Hunt Comfort’s custom shop refit turkey vests. The next thing I knew we were talking about all the options and possibilities of a simple cushion. JJ said that there were at least 160,000 options to what we were discussing. I never checked the math but I can tell you that there are a pile of possibilities.
This past week, we built a couple of Skinny FatBoys at the design request of a customer. The seats were 12 3/4 inches wide rather than the usual 14. The seats had FC-1 snap adapts to help fasten them down, and instead of 40-inch straps, the seats were built with 13-inch straps. A set of Do-Lolly’s went along with the order. Take a look at http://www.huntcomfort.com/fc1.pdf to see how the straps work. The point here is that for less than $20 extra, the seats were built to specification. They look great and they will fit the exact requirements of the customer. Hunt Comfort custom has done lots of designs over the years from vests to whatever our customers have imagined. We ask for a couple of things: 1) Understand that without a detailed drawing we cannot build it. 2) Know that our custom times vary according to our production schedule. Sometimes it may take 3 days and other times 4 to 6 weeks. We are not equipped to do rush work, but we do guarantee all work for 3 years.
Hunt Comfort’s drawing board is packed full for the next few years. This year we are celebrating our 12th Birthday with a new series of special edition cushions branded Eite. These models feature our New Comfort-TEX fabrics - simply the very best in new fabric technology for outdoor comfort. We put a ToughTEK bottom on the cushions for added durability. Today we announced FatBoy Lite Elite. This FatBoy has new accents like 1 inch convenience loops and black stealth buckles. A great looking package that has a fabulous soft and supporting sit. For the hunter packin light the Elite is the perfect choice.

At SHOT I was asked how long we had been around. I paused and said that our Birthday was coming up and that we were celebrating 12 years. They were very surprised. We keep trying to let out the secret. We may post a little more on our history as time goes along.
Here’s a great snow shot of outdoor writer and photographer Lon Lauber and a beautiful nothwestern whitetail. Lon has been using Hunt Comfort seats extensively this year and has given us some super feedback. On Hunt Comfort, Lon writes, “It’s been the smartest and most comfortable addition to my hunting gear this year!”. Thanks Lon!
Well after shooting a southern deer last week, this looks like another species of deer. We just do not have anything like these big bodied bruisers. Writer Bob Robb took this gorgeous whitetail in Iowa last month. Just a giant of a whitetail. We are envious. Please note the great taste in cushions - Climb-On.
