In all my years in labs and every study I have ever been involved with..........I have never once seen a case where results were not available.........unless they are not publishable due to bias or poor procedure. Peer review is in place for a reason.


Don't be sorry..........I didn't expect you to be able to alter the chemical and physical properties of carbon. No one can. Please don't feel like I am singling you out or being difficult for no reason.........I just refuse to put my faith or money into a product that makes claims contrary to foundational chemistry and physics.


That isn't the point I was making.............I didn't even say that Scent-Lok WOULD use the loopholes.........just that they COULD. Believing the language of a document that COULD result in potentially millions of dollars of incurred costs to a company is not carefully written with fuzzy language and loopholes would be very naive. I don't blame them at all, it is common pratice, I know I would do it with my business.

BTW there is no way to make a bow scent free..........unless you take it apart. The grease used to lube the limbs is one of the stronger chemical scents I have ever smelled.

Let us know if you ever untangle your legal battle.........and what journal you will be publishing your results in.

Quote below.
I read that "guarentee" is you have to cover yourself from head to toe with scent-lok gear (which should cost about $800-$1,000

My first year with Scentlok consisted of a Mask = $29.99 Savana Pants $99.99 and Savana Shirt that I baught on sale for $49.99. Thats about $180 Bucks. I killed a doe the first day I had it and yes she was down wind.

I since have purchased the Base Slayers $120 bucks and The new Fullseason jacket and Pants $220 bucks and the new Hat/Mask for $39.99 for a Grand Total of $560 smacks.

Since using the Scentlok attire and following strict scent control I have harvested 4 Bucks and 5 does all with a Bow except one. And that is only over 2 hunting season.

I say it has passed my FIELD TEST 100%

Add in the boots and you are right in my quoted range...........without gloves or the scent free storage bag and sprays for your other stuff. I have killed 14 deer in the last 5 years with a $6 bottle of Fresh Earth spray.

I guess we both are doing OK............congrats on your success.

I understand what Atlas is saying.I personally am SCENT-LOKED and I do think it works to a degree. But like stated, most people still spary thhemselves with a scent killer and take showers with the same style products. I think more than anything it comes down to personal preference, and who wants every advantage possible. I have seen spooky whitetails and the such, and I have seen calm and collective whitetails that picked me off. You have to understand that when you hunt you are in the deers living room , and when something has changed they notice. Just think if something was different in your living room when you came home, say a new chair etc, wouldn't you notice. I think as people get more educated about the game that we are hunting and know the animals strengths and weaknesses the more sucessful people will become. If you want to market your product better than give everyone on this website a discount.

Hands down, atlasman wins my vote!!

Personally I wear a scent-lok savanah suit. I know that it works to a certain degree. Follow me on this. I compost all my vegetable scraps and I used to keep them on the counter in a coffee can. The scraps would start to smell and I would take them out. My wife bought a compost scraps canister with a lid. In this lid was a carbon meshed filter. The scraps don't smell anymore, until you open the lid! Is the analogy hear applicable to scent-lok suits? Probably. Anyone use Odor-eaters insoles,they worked on my dad's stinky feet, same technology. Is scent-lok overpriced? Probably but so are your $700 bows. I've said it before it's just another tool in your arsenal, use it in you want to!

Excellent Idea

I LOVE MY SENT-LOK

When it comes to the issue of scent control, and especially activated carbon clothing, you will never win the battle with some people. Some believe, some don't. That's the great part about living in America - everyone gets to have their opinion.

Personally, I'll be in Scent-Lok head to toe this year. Not because they are a sponsor of this site, but because I believe their products work and I want every possible advantage when I'm in the woods. I personally believe the key to the success of their products is proper use. As someone pointed out earlier, it doesn't do you much good to wear the pants and not the jacket, hat, and facemask. Containing your scent is an entire process and involves a lot more than just strapping on your suit and running into the woods. From the care and storage of the garments, to making sure you are as odor free as possible, to maintaining scent free gear, it all adds up. Even if its only a little bit, why not use it to your advantage?

Do I think you need Scent-Lok to kill big deer? Absolutely not. People were killing monster bucks before anyone knew what activated carbon was. Do I think it can help me during my hunts? Absolutely, which is why I'm using it.
