Default RE: Scent Blocker

Of course there is more to it than this article offers.
the question is will it stop human scent (not chemical or biological agents...this is what the army needs the suits for).
The article points a finger saying a manufacturer doesn' t tests to see how they work when wet....does that mean they DO tests them to see how they wrok when dry? is it only 1 manufacturer that didn' t test wet suits?
Until someone does some REAL un-biased research into the matter...we may never know.
One way to test for yourself:
grab a scent waffer (say peanut butter) and hold it tightly to the carbon suit (try this on a suit that hasn' t been sitting in the store for a few weeks...borrow someones suit to try) and see if you can smell it.
Deer can smell a lot better than we can, but if you can' t smell the WAY strong waffer, the deer will have a harder time smelling you.
