Lots of expensive things that don't work sell every year , just ask any Ford owner ...

Arecarbon suits necessary ? No , I've never been winded by a deer that was upwind of me . Will they save you if the wind shifts to the deer's favor ? Not permanently no matter what you hear . Are they worth what they cost ? Pffft ! No . I've gotten more benefit from using cheap homemade descenting spray and plain old baking soda that I ever did from the carbon suits I tried , I won't waste any more of my hard earned money on them again , they're the most overhyped gimmick in modern hunting .

I am not a believer in the scent blocker. Granted, some deer (especially the older ones) will travel with the wind and other things, but the deer you will lose to that is minimal. I have watched my grandfather and uncles for years hunt in jeans and flannel, smoking cigars, and they shoot more deer than anyone I know. Some guys like to eliminate all possible senarios where a deer will pick them up...I wear regular camo and spray it down with scent elimination as well as pack it in a bag with pine and leaves.

I would like to know if anyone has had the wind blowing at a direct path to deer while wearing scent-lok clothing and not had the deer smell them...

I went hunting last year, Jan. 17 I think. There was a nasty front coming in and I wanting to get a few hours in before it hit. There was a 10-15 knot wind out of the NW that moring do I thought I'd hunt in a stand I had in a hard wood bottom on a creek bed....good place for that wind direction. Ofcourse, when I got on stand, the wind was swirling in there like a compass in the Bermuda[:@]. An hour later, I was back in my truck calling a buddy to come help me load him up (picture of that deer is in my profile onhere). He was the third deer I had come by me that morning, all within 40yrds, and one six point that hung around me for about thirty minutes, getting as close as 7 yrds from the base of my tree. I took that 8 pointer at 35 yrds, WITH THE WIND SWIRLING AND GUSTING! There is not one dought in my mind, if it were not for my scentblocker suit, I wouldn't have had a chance in h*** at seeing, let alone killing that buck!

Last year was the first year I have ever wore a carbon suit, and like some here, I was, lets just say humored at the advertised promises made by scentlock and scentblocker! I saw more deer last year than I ever have, before I decided I wouldproveto myself that these suits wouldn't/couldn't work as advertised! Sometimes one must admit when they are wrong, and in my prior thinking on this subject, I was way wrong! But hey, I'm happy as hell I was willingto prove how right I thought I was!

I'll never go hunting without my carbon suit again.....best product since the round wheel...IMHO! Take that for whatever it's worth![8D]

Yep...if you can minimize the human scent along with a scent control regimen as listed above. You have a better chance of a successful kill.. That means no eating "cheetos" in the blinds, tree or behind the bush! (lol!)
