Default Does anyone use Baseslayers?!?

I've been looking at Scent-Lok baseslayers a lot lately, and have some question for anyone who might use them or know about them. I'm looking at them for two reasons. 1) for an extra percautionwith scent control and 2) looking for something to put on when I leave the house and drive to my hunting spot.

In Iowa, the best hunting (IMO) is in November and temps can get down into the teens sometimes. I always dress out in the field so I nomally just where shorts and a shirt to the woods. Needless to say, I'm tired of freezing my butt off. Sometimes I feel I never warm back up and I'm always cold all morning long....sometimes ending my hunt earlier than wanted. That is why I'm looking at something warmer to where to my spot.

So my question is: If I wear Scent-Lok Baseslayers in the house, to my vehicle, then to my spot, am I defeating the purpose of Scent-Lok. If so, I will look at a cheaper alternative (under armor or something). I would still plan on spraying down the baseslayers before dressing in my camo. Part of me still thinks it would do it's job in keeping my human scent retained. But the other part of me thinks that by wearing it in the house/vehicle, it will hold the human scent. What do you think? Any experience with it or suggestions. Thanks in advance.
