We consider cones of real forms which are sums of squares and invariant under a (finite) reflection group. Using the representation theory of these groups we are able to use the symmetry inherent in these cones to give more efficient descriptions. We focus especially on the An, Bn, and Dn case where we use so-called higher Specht polynomials to give a uniform description of these cones. These descriptions allow us, to deduce that the description of the cones of sums of squares of fixed degree 2d stabilizes with n>2d. Furthermore, in cases of small degree, we are able to analyze these cones more explicitly and compare them to the cones of non-negative forms.
