Default UV Killer is it hype?

I watched and have done some reading on this but I wonder if anyone here has tried it that is not working for the company. Has anyone put up a black light then sprayed this stuff on to see if the glow disapears? From the dieo at ATSKO if that is what we look like I wonder why deer will come into any area where a hunter is sitting?

Yes, I have. The problem is more in the dyes of the garment then anything else. Especially white. The spray does mask it a bit. Using detergent without UV additive is what I use though.

I use the scent free detergent as well, works great! I'll wash my outer layer of camo 1 or 2 times a season. My base layers I'll wash as needed in the same detergent, no need for the scent blocker clothing!

I don't believe it's hype-hype. Just look at photographs taken of MOBU, hell it glows in those pictures. Now, can animals see that glowing, I do not know.

No ... it's not a hype , this product works and works very well , I use it on all of my hunting clothes and I even spray on my ground blind.
UV Killer SportWash is truely one of the best prouducts on the market for eliminating the " blue glow " in clothing.

I also heard it was in the dyes and that most camo clothes don't use uv dyes so the soap isn't needed. Hard to get a scent free soap without uv killer in it.
