NEP Outdoors Established in 1985 (previously known as "Northeast Products") By Peter Luccisano in Methuen, MA. We are the makers of the famous "Therm-a-Seat" or "hot-seat" cushion for hunters. We decided to use the NEP Outdoors name because in the past 25 years we have added many more products to our great line...backpacks, fanny packs, luxury cushions for hunting and camping...and many more accessories.
