Default RE: Scent lock camo?

I' ve used carbon clothing for years , and it does work . Straightarrow is correct about having to replace it , although the carbon in hunting clothing may be processed differently than what he uses at work . I wear surplus US Army chemical protection suits that I get for $15 at Sportsmans Guide when the weather is cold enough . At that price they are pretty much disposable . Besides reducing my scent , they are very toasty since loose carbon is an excellent insulator . You can wear them for days , then give them a soaking in Sportwash to freshen them a bit . Dispose of them after 2 weeks , or donate them to a local clothing bank , poor folks hunt too . They are also carrying Ab-Scent long underwear in their Guide Gear brand for 19.95 per piece , and they even have a balaclava for $9.95 .

Rack , considering your fondness for crosswind approaches to bedding areas it surprises me that you don' t care for them . I know you don' t use cover scents , but your opinion of carbon suits is rather odd . Playing the wind doesn' t always work either , and a carbon or other scent suppression tactic seems like something you would support . PS: my bowhunting cousin will be breaking me in on a 45# recurve so that I can get a feel for it , although I won' t be taking one into the woods until much later . Gotta practice , practice , practice first ! He' s doing this in exchange for trying out my crossbow .
