Default Scent lock products, do they work???

I have been using various sprays and have been looking to pick of some new thermal base layers from Cabela's that have this scent lock technology. If I use the soap bag the clothes, use a scent lock face mask etc. will I really remove or just reduce my scent. I have seen many times in the past few seasons, older guy but only hunting a few seasons, that scent is a biggy and I have been snorted at and stomped (sp?) at a few times.

Do these clothes really help or are they just another way to drop a few $100?

Yes and no .
Yes , they will reduce your scent . No , not permanently . I use MOPP suits too , they are vastly cheaper and work just as well . You can get them for $15 per set at Sportsmans Guide .

They work so to speak to a point. When the activated charcol becomes saturated with your stink and whatever is on the inside of the liner it has to be re-actived.. To re-activat the charcoal, heat has to be introduced. Unfortunatly the exterior shell material on most sent-loc suits would burn up at the prolonged re-activation tempuratures........Save your money and just keep the wind in your face.

The suits might work great for a little while but I would have to agree with Sc & Hutt, keep the wind in your face and save your money.

That is most important.
Also I wash my clothes in that scent removing stuff,
and always take a shower in it as well.
Then spray my boots and all with some cover scent.

But despite all that, if you are upwind from a deer, he/she will probably still smell you.
