I have two brand new , still in the package Army MOPP suits , which is what all carbon based scent elimination systems are based on . They have twice the carbon of any commercial suit , and the carbon is unbonded so there isat least double theavailable surface area for it to adsorb odors . I have used MOPP suits for the last 5 years under varying conditions including being upwind of deer , with and without cover scent , with and without scent eliminator sprays . I've sat under cover and out in the open and guaged the reactions of the deer . My conclusions ? Yes , they do work temprorarily because carbon adsorbs odors , but once the carbon clogs nothing you can do at home will clear it's poresno matter what you've been told .

Do they work permanently as the maufacturers of the commercial suits claim ? No , carbon inevitably clogs and becomes useless , ask anyone who owns an aquarium utilizing an activatedcarbon filter since the process is the same. In an aquarium the carbon adsorbs ammonia , among other wastes , but must be changed frequently or the fish will sicken and die . Ammonia has a powerful scent , and the aquarium owner can readily smell it in the carbon after only a few weeks . It is not scientifically possible to reactivate or "regenerate" carbon under home conditions , the process requires extremely high heat and specialized equipment , and your 200 degree oxygen rich home dryer just won't do it . Anyone telling you differently is either trying to sell you a suit orparroting whatsomeone who sold them one told them. There is no shortage of info on the web about activated carbon and what it can and cannot do , including lab testing of scent reduction systems , look them up for yourself and then draw your own conclusions .

Earlier I said that I havetwo of those suits left , and I got them at a steal of a clearance price , so if you'd like to have them to try for yourself shoot me a PM or meet me in chatand we'll discuss it . If you decide to try them I'll send them to you for the price I paid , $17.70+ shipping ,and you can see for yourself before splurging on those overpriced commercial suits . Pretreat them as you would one of the commercial suits using their reccomended pretreatment products if you wish . The worst you'll lose is $17.70 + shipping . The suits are in a Woodland pattern , which never seemed to phase the deer , but they can be covered by light camo in your preferred pattern or you can just use natural cover or a blind .
