PSENJersey,

You are referring to two different things, reactivation and regeneration. Reactivation is basically remaking the activated carbon all over again. To achieve this state you must heat it to over 600° in an very controlled enviroment. Quite different from the household dryer. Regeneration is what we do in the household dryer. Basically this rids the garment of roughly 85-90% of the scent molucules in the garment, but will never totally reactivate a garment.

Scent-Lok and activated carbon is basically a sponge for air. As with the sponge, you wipe up a liquid until it is totally saturated. Liquid will literally fall off the sponge. You then wring out the sponge in the sink to enable it to pick up more liquid. The sponge after wringing is still technically wet, but can pick up more liquid. This is the premise of activated carbon and regeneration; where activated carbon replaces the sponge, the liquid is scent and the process of wringing out the sponge is drying it in the dryer.

Test data You can read the independent lab testing data here.

Many have questioned the validity of our products, so we continue to test our own products and new technologies to validate ourselves. We continually outperform ourselves by investing in better fabrics, technology and forms of carbon. There are people who have had bad experiences and through addressing their specific issues we find our they are not using the entire system as we suggest. This includes jackets, pants, gloves and most importantly a headcover. Also, people wonder why they are getting busted in the Scent-Lok suit that they wore from their garage, stopped and bought some gas and had a couple of smokes on the way to the field. Again it is important to think of activated carbon as a sponge for air, it picks up all scent and the more scent that is present the quicker Scent-Lok and activated carbon will fill up. Lastly, regenerate as often as possible, if you are on a long hunt and away from a dryer, wear the suit only during hunting hours and store it in an airtight bag.

Lastly, Scent-Lok hunting suits and activated carbon will NOT make you 100% scent free. It brings your total scent emitted into your hunting area down below a threshold that will let you go undetected by scent wary animals.

Hopefullly this helps. If anyone has a specific question, feel free to personal message me and I will continue to converse. Many times these forums become a battery of personal attacks, and I will not be a part of it, so as soon as something of that nature occurs I will have to regretfully exit from the conversation. If this conversation stays civil and to the point I will continue with this until there are no more questions.

Thanks for understanding
