Gentlemen, this is like Deja Vu all over again. While you cannot fully re-activate your carbon suit in a dryer the process does drive off some of the chemicals (stink) adsorbed onto the carbon. This does not render it 100 0/0 re-activated but it does provide additional adsorbtioin capacity.So it works a little,yor odor nuetralizing sprays work a little, the shower and shampoo work a little, your rubber boots work a little, brushing with baking soda works a little. These all add up to small advantages. I'll continue using these products under my outer camo layer!
