RE: Scent Lok vs Antimicrobial
I sent an e-mail to fastestbows.com asking the columnist who wrote those aforementioned articles to give his thoughts on antimicrobial clothing. We already know he how feels about carbon.

ORIGINAL: JeramyK I tried X-Scent's socks and really liked them. I now own the pants and shirt as well. If you don't believe their products work take their challenge and wear the socks for 4 days straight and see for yourself. |

RE: Scent Lok vs Antimicrobial
ORIGINAL: shed33 I will be field testing my new Xscent garments in 14 days! right underneath my Scent lok Liner... eat your heart out ATLAS!!!!!! :D:D:D I mean come on, do you really think everyone in the scent containment industry is a scam artist? :D:D:D The oldest and largest buck I have ever killed came in from dead down wind...and I was very clean and prepaired for that scenario. I will be glad to talk science with you too.. Regeneration of carbon clothing does not take high intense heats...YES reactivation does... but not regeneration... Show me the science.........those 2 words are used synonimously in the industry. Don't believe me??......Do a google search on carbon regeneration. below is some ofwhat DR. SHULONG LI, and expert in carbon technology and textile applications had to say.... When carbon is used to filter or treat industrial waste it does in fact need to be reactivated at extreme high temperatures, yet when it is needed to remove less volatile substances such as human scent it only need be regenerated. During regenerationat temperatures under 130 degrees removalofsolvents, gasoline vapor, chloroform and methanol all which can be perged by activated carbon. Not to mention that dryers go over 130.......and no human I know puts off gas vapors, chloroform or methanol vapors as BO (maybe a few boozers have some methanol in their BO)............so that is meaningless also. He goes on to say in Scent loks case... "washing and drying in a home dryer will certainly remove some of the absorbed materials and any of the odors." There is a big difference between reactivation and regeneration.... and its application in the hunting world. I personally don't believeany one thingcan totally mask our scent, but a total scent control approach including a carbon suit can help and often weaken our scent enough to allow deer to feel at ease......as ifthe scent is fruther away or not dangerous enough to be alarming to them....I have witnessed it over and over again while hunting, scouting/filming in the hot weather.. 90+ degree days when deer are dead down wind of me... Still playing the wind is key, but in mountains I hunt, thermals and wind currents NEVER play fair, like in the flatlands.....Plus come on, any smart buck is going to come in down wind of any call for the most part.. why not be a little more prepaired by being as clean as you can be, and minimizing as much scent as possible... My philosophy is simple..A big mature bucks lives by HIS NOSE... NOSE NOSE...why not try to combat your scent in any way that has good science backing it  Good science backing it?? Please show us where it is.test it and if it works..use it..if not..do a way with it..it cant hurt if it helps ...It may mean the difference between a slight foot stomp and then munch munch again...versus an all out SNORT and gone...... |
RE: Scent Lok vs Antimicrobial
Enough arguing or this one's gonna go visit the other thread in the black abyss of HNI waste. Everyone can form their own opinions and do as they please when it comes to activated carbon, anti-microbial, or platnum-plated clothing and it shouldn't matter in the least bit to the next guy down the road.

Atlas have you ever harvested a mature buck with your bow. Prove it to me.
waiting....... lets play the prove itgame... yahoo.... :D:D:D "yawns" I better get to bed... work comes early ... |
RE: Scent Lok vs Antimicrobial
read an article about three people who dressed in scentlok and buried themselves in the snow to test the effectiveness. the search dogs found them as quickly as the would anyone else. ill look for it and let you all know where i found it.

RE: Scent Lok vs Antimicrobial
Again........show me the science..........not someone's quote..........I have no idea who he is or who paid him to say that. Show me the documented science that says through a controlled study that human scent is removed from carbon in a dryer. Not to mention that dryers go over 130.......and no human I know puts off gas vapors, chloroform or methanol vapors as BO (maybe a few boozers have some methanol in their BO)............so that is meaningless also.  Here's a very interesting read for anyone seeking a scientific view point.:eek: http://aqes.cee.uiuc.edu/Publications/AQES/carbon/DimotakisEST1995.pdf |
