Let me say, that there is a report that I will have soon from SL that is in response to 2 noted outdoor writers that discounted carbon clothing. The rumor is that these 2 gentlemen were involved in the test
So a report from SL you believe.......but from others, you don't?? Weird logic.
but I have no confirmation on that.
Then you shouldn't say it in public until you do.
The report was pooh-hooh'ed because SL comissioned the report.
Commisioned the report??......you must be kidding. There were about 100 things wrong with that "document". It tells nothing of methods (except that SL dictated them) and it doesn't explain it's data at all. In the 20ml sample the "regenerated" sample absorbed MORE then the original. Rediculous figures like that negate any value of that piece of paper.......there is absolutely no science in that "document".
I ask you ,who pays for the testing ??? Not consumer reports,not You and not me. The manufacturer's do.
That is EXACTLY why those tests are meaningless........you answered your own question.
Keep in mind that Greeg Sesselman is a chemical engineer who was working on filtration systems when he got the idea for SL. He was a bowhunter long before that.
Why do you keep saying this?? It means nothing. You have more people in this thread with higher education and experience levels with both carbon and bowhunting then him. I don't know what your education and experience level is but please don't assume everyone but Greg dropped out of high school.
I did some surfing one evening and found a site
Here is a MAJOR problem with this topic. People trying to "learn" about chemisrty and science by surfing the internet. It's VERY difficult to have a useful debate on this topic if half the people in the group are getting their information from something they saw on youtube and the other half thinks the periodic table is when their wife or girl friend gets crabby each month.
carbon clothing works,can I prove it scientifically, No.
Then it doesn't work. If you can't prove it scientifically it doesn't exist....it is mere hypothesis, theory, hopes, thoughts, dreams, etc. Drug companies can SAY that their drug does everything under the sun........and no one cares.........until they PROVE it it double blind, randomized, placebo controlled unbiased studies.........THEN the FDA will decide whether or not to approve their claims. Without proof you can
say whatever you want.
Can I prove it in the woods ,Yes.
Please explain how you can prove that.
play the wind the best I can. But,if the wind changes, that it often doesin the hills of PA.,I don't worry about it.
If you don't care when the wind changes.........why do you play the wind at all?? "Forget the wind..........just hunt" Right?
We don't rely on science to test the estrous scent we use
We should.

Did Predator camo or Inigma camo( I'm not picking on anyone,just a for instance.)have a scientific test done?? No,I don't think so. But you use it and you say it works.
I don't know of any claims made by either of those companies that go against the foundational laws of chemistry and science.
