Default RE: need some input on scent free clothing!

I wish I could give X-scent a ringing endorsement but at this point I can't.

Perhaps I expected too much however. I just returned from an eight day hunt where I was only able to shower once in that time. Conditions were extreme, hot and cold. Lots of walking up and down steep slopes and lots of sweating. I did wash my body down with a scent free handi-wipe type of cloth as often as I could but even with the x-scent on top and bottom I got winded when conditions were not favorable for me.

Again conditions were extreme. When hunting whitetails normally you can shower everyday, sometimes twice a day, but you don't have that luxury when elk hunting in the mountains.

Of course the outer clothing gets contaminated too in situations that I described so that compounds the problem. I will know more after the whitetail season is over.

For what its worth I can tell you this. After the trip when I was descenting my clothes again the x-scent top I was wearing just wreaked of B.O.!
