Default RE: "Scent Blocker" a Gimmick?

Losthwy ,
if you want to try carbon clothes on the cheap get some Army chemical suits here: Sportsman's Guide and try them for yourself . It's $15 for a jacket/pants combo , and they have more activated carbon than Scent Blocker ever thought of having . You can just wear them for a week or two and throw them away . Almost like having rent-a-Scent Blocker .

I've worn them during our gun season , or at least when it gets cold enough , for the last 4 years , and yes they do work somewhat . They don't last forever , sooner or later Scent Blocker "plugs up" and becomes just overpriced camo . No , it is impossible to "reactivate" carbon in your home dryer , don't believe that crap . I've had deer approach to within feet of me as long as I didn't move while wearing it , so I have reason to believe that when brand new they do work as advertised . But then , I've also had them approach to within feet of me while using cover scent , or even just playing the wind . I have , however , had deer approach without alarm from downwind while wearing carbon . I call that testimony enough to say get some , but buy what's cheapest .
