Hunt Comfort BLOG

The 2010 spring turkey season has started and shipments of Hunt Comfort products are stronger than anticipated. Hunt Comfort is expanding later this spring to accomodate for our new SL technology products. In anticipation of expansion, we began our largest warehouse clearance sale ever – we simply had to make room to grow and goods were priced for immediate sales. Dealers purchased 90% of the sale goods – our online store has Hot Deals until March 31.

In a Nutshell:
1) If you want something we do not have in stock- call us.

What Made in USA means

When we make Hunt Comfort products, we try and keep it in the USA. A couple of parts we use are simply not available in the USA. Sometimes it seems surprising to us that our products are constructed with so many different things made by good people all across our land. Suppliers to Hunt Comfort are found across the nation in the following states:

Flags shown are from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Tennessee.

Hunt Comfort’s newest additions to Comfort-TEX outdoor seating fabrics are now online:

Mossy Oak Treestand looks knockout.

Hunt Comfort has also introduced 2 New Camo Solid Colors: Coyote Tan and Foliage Green. The request for solid outdoor colors came from many customers – especially international customers. Customers save $5 per cushion without the licensed camo. The solution dyed fabrics are very handsome and feature matching Mil Spec hardware. These are perfect for ballgames and camp.

Every now and then we like to show a couple of ideas which we have done for customers of our custom shop. 

Here are a couple of recent designs that presented some interesting challenges:

This is a large triangular hang-on stand seat that is built using two FatBoys for maximum coverage.  This cushion is big and it sits great. 

This is a split cushion design.  Unique to the cushion design are rounded edges on both inside top cushion surfaces.  Cushion is based on the FatBoy.

The video conferencing experience delivers a new level of communication for Hunt Comfort’s customers. While frame rate is dependent upon band width, live video gives Hunt Comfort the ability to show details and explain concepts visually and instantly.  Video conferencing allows Hunt Comfort to deliver a fuller customer service experience, and thanks to Skype this service is available at no charge. 

Anyone with a free Skype account can access this service. Customers without a web cam can still view the Hunt Comfort representative in real time from a computer with a Skype account.   Service is by appointment.    

Hunt Comfort FatBoy Lite has been awarded the Best Hunting Cushion in Outdoor Canada’s Best New Gear Awards for 2009.  The awards are the cover story of the latest issue of Outdoor Canada magazine.  We are honored to be selected as Hunting’s Top Gear 2009 by the hunting editors of Outdoor Canada who review a vast array of products from over 1,800 vendors at the SHOT show and end up with 35 of their absolute favorites. 

Russ Chastain has posted a review of the Hunt Comfort Fatboy on About.com.

Hunt Comfort tests all of the issues brought up by Russ.  Quiet fabric, for example, is one our our 4 design criteria for our ComfortTEX fabrics.  We appreciate the fact that Russ allowed us to respond to his concerns prior to the publishing the article.  Thank you – Russ.  All of the concerns mentioned are actively focused on at Hunt Comfort. 

One concern that we could have elaborated on with Russ was the gel and extreme cold.  Bottom line is that we work to minimize adding heat or taking heat away.  We actually have had feedback which told us the opposite on the FatBoy and the cold – take a look at this earlier BLOG post: http://blog.huntcomfort.com/WordPress/2007/11/05/hunt-doctors-note/ .  We are constantly working to improve our products and we rely on feedback for design.  Our business is built on listening.      

We have had a couple of customers ask about our ComfortTEX fabrics getting wet.  Hunt Comfort ComfortTEX is a waterproof fabric.  What has been reported from the field is that a cushion on the ground becomes wet – water is on the surface of the fabric.  Cotton ComfortTEX can get wet if water is pushed into it – water is not passing through it.  Our waterproof laminate on the fabric back is the answer – it will not let the water penetrate the fabric.  This photo shows the laminate barrier.

Our cotton based ComfortTEX has a Teflon DWR finish applied to the face side and it is laboratory tested.  These DWR finishes are meant to repel water – so if you put a new FatBoy out in the rain you will see water beading off the cushion.  DWR finishes wear off in time (and DWR can easily be renewed) but a DWR’d fabric by itself is absolutely, positively not waterproof.  Most of our stores have fabric samples so you can touch and see the backside of our fabrics.  This photo shows classic beading effect after rain.

We have to make design choices and Hunt Comfort’s ComfortTEX is built for outdoor seating.  Waterproof, Durable, Quiet and Stretch Comfort – that is what we build.  The cotton ComfortTEX is a superquiet fabric and it gives a super nice soft sit.  We figure that the cushion fabric has to take care of the hunter and the business of hunting first.  If you are on wet ground your pants are not going to get wet from the cushion and the cushion core is fine.  So keep hunting and don’t worry about the cushion – we take care of the folks who take care of us.  We are constantly working to improve our ComfortTEX outdoor seating product. 

Hunt Comfort’s Fatboy Lite received Best of Best recognition from North American Hunting Club in their Top Hunting Gear of the Year selections.  The FatBoy Lite excelled in the testing categories of Performance, Durability and Comfort.  Article is online at: http://www.huntingclub.com/Projects/Project.aspx?id=138976
