Ah yes, the infamous article with zero shred of reliable scientific evidence. "Well I think this" or "I really know what I'm talking about" and "I heard that" doesn't cut it for me. Want the real scientific evidence behind Scent-Lok? Here you go -

Have fun Atlasman, that should keep you busy for awhile.

I started using Scent-Lok this year after many, many years of the same skepticism that many of you share.On top of that I have been showering in scent-free soap and shampoo since mid-September (and my dry skin is proof of that), and I've made sure all of my gear is as scent-free as possible. I wipe down my bow with scent-killer wipes, I wipe down my hands, neck, and face before I go into the woods, I spray my backpack with scent killer and store it in a plastic tote when not in the field, Ichew Gum-O-Flage every time I got into the woods,etc. So far this year in nearly two months of hunting and a LOT of deer downwind of me I have yet to be busted. Call it fate, call it coincidence, call it all of my scent control adding up to an effective system, I really don't care. Oh, and so far I've killed 3 deer and a coyote this year, and had the opportunity to kill a lot more than that - many of which were directly downwind of me. Imagine that!

For anyone who hasn't personally tried it but only "heard" about it - give me a break. Do yourself a favor - spend the $250 on a Savanna jacket, pants, headcover, and socks. Use it properly - the way it's meant to be used - and then report back with your findings. I'm tired of the "I read an article" or "My friend's buddy said..." type stuff.
I stopped reading as soon as I got to the methods used to test the product. Injected into a jar! What the heck are they even serious. A jar is an air tight container with scent having no means to escape. The day they make a suit that seals you into an air tight enviroment and your still able to shoot your bow then I'll consider their test valid.

This is the equivalent to the soap companies claiming that anti-bacterial soap kills 80% of bacteria on contact. They conduct thier tests on cultured bacteria in a dish and flood the entire dish with soap. Sure, I bet the bacteria dies.

Justin this is just ridiculous.
