I dont really think the stuff works either but im not a chemist!!!!!!!If this article is wrong in what there saying about not being able to reactivate the carbon and also not being enough carbon to begin with scent lock should prove it . if a product that i had was getting bashed like scent lock is on these forums i would do something about it!!!!!!!! now about refunding your money if it dont work. alot of products state that and they know that most likely people arent going to take the time to return it. also its in alot of peoples mind that once you spend 400 or 500 dollars on scent loc it works great....( IT BETTER) i also love the statment that i saw tons more deer this year with my scent loc then last!!!!!!!! if you seriously want to kill a big mature buck take that 400 or 500 dollar suit and put it on a down payment on a good hunt in IOWA. THATS HOW YOU GET THE BIG ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
