I think it's a TOTAL waste of money. There is no way to keep the clothing scent free over a long period of time. Maybe they work when you first buy them, but after that, I do not believe they work. As the studies have shown, there is not way to reactivatethe carbon. additionally, there are too many variables for them to remain effective over1...2 ora 3year period.Sorry,I'm not that meticulouswith my clothes that I worry about keeping my them totally sealed when I return from a day of hunting, let alone after a couple of years.Thisis EXACTLY what Scent-lok expects.This way we buy more of their product because it's our fault it's not working anymore.Who would actually go after a refund if you used it for a season...NOBODY! In my opinon, They need to show more proof, oh yea one more thing....close the loop-holes in your so called "guarentee" and MAYBE you'll convice a few more ofus. HUNT THE WIND!
Perfectly said. All you have to do is watch OLN, ESPN, TOC etc and all you see are new products being driven into our heads...that's business. Don't be caught without the SNORT WHEEZE.. or the BUCK ROAR... give me a break. However I really seriously considered scent blocker type garments... but these scent blocker type garments to me sound like a royal pain in the arse.... you and your gear need to live in a scent free bubble... and as soon as you shimmy up that tree in your climber... break a heavy sweat ... all bets are off. I really planned on getting a scent lock type outfit next time around... which is now... and after tons of reading I have decided against it. I don't want the aggravation and extra work... and everyone knows that the effect of the carbon deteriorates with each washing and being able to reactivate it in a normal household dryeris questionable at best. I keep my clothes as scent free as possible, use scent mask like fresh earth(which I know works... especially on the boots)and I have killed my buck every year for thepast 24yrs straight.
I'd rather take that $800-1000 every 3 or 4 years and buy a new bow.
