Hunting clothes are expensive whether they have Scent Lok technology or not. If you look at the cabelas catalog, you can often order the same camo bowhunting suit with or without scentlok. Usually it's only about 15 or 20 bucks more to get it with scentlok. For that small price, I'll take the scentlok. If I'm already going to spend a couple hundred bucks for super warm windproof waterproof thinsulate fleece, I might as well drop another 15 bucks and get the scent lok version of the same outfit.

I think it's a TOTAL waste of money. There is no way to keep the clothing scent free over a long period of time. Maybe they work when you first buy them, but after that, I do not believe they work. As the studies have shown, there is not way to reactivatethe carbon. additionally, there are too many variables for them to remain effective over1...2 ora 3year period.Sorry,I'm not that meticulouswith my clothes that I worry about keeping my them totally sealed when I return from a day of hunting, let alone after a couple of years.Thisis EXACTLY what Scent-lok expects.This way we buy more of their product because it's our fault it's not working anymore.Who would actually go after a refund if you used it for a season...NOBODY! In my opinon, They need to show more proof, oh yea one more thing....close the loop-holes in your so called "guarentee" and MAYBE you'll convice a few more ofus. HUNT THE WIND!

all i wear is military scent lok
veterans you know what i mean
SGT

I could care less if ScentLok works or not because mentally I believe it does so that alone keeps me confident and to me confidence in the field speaks volumes.

I'm a scent free freak. I own Scentloc and ScentBlocker. I wear both, one as an under garment, the other the next layer. I also shower with unscented shampoo and soap, spray down with Scent Killer before and after I dress. My towel is scent free etc....

When I get to my stand, I spray down some more. I have had deer directly down wind of me without spooking. Which one of the above has helped me to that success, I don't care. I will continue to do my ritual and have my success.

Again, in my mind, I'm doing the right thing and no one will tell me different. I don't care if I'm nuts, it's working.

Very good point!

Although cost is often sited, it's hard to give that criticism much thought. Good clothes cost hundreds with or with out the scent lok. I personally think their garments regardless of their effectiveness are first class. Top quality fabric.

The guarantee is vague and a guy would be at the mercy of the company for a decision. However if you do buy it at Cabela's or a similar store, you can return it if your not happy with it, regardless. Still good to see something in writting.

Often wondered, if the stuff isn't regenerated in the dryer, why does it smell like it does when it comes out (you would have to smell it for yourself) and not like dirty clothes. My brother only washes his once a year, you would think the stuff would be pretty ripe. It's not. I'd like to see a test where people just take their hunting clothes and only do that and see if they still are as effective. That would be a test.

Another hilarious Scentlok thread. They are always the same. Those who've actually used them love them. Those who don't think they know. I'll take someones word who's actually used a product way over someone who hasn't. Of course, that's just me and my right just like someone else can trash something they've never tried. Makes me think of what it must have been like when people used to think the world was flat. I've used it and, regardless of anything anyone says about it or that the laws of the universe prevent it from working, I am convinced it is a good product. I have 2 friends who also use it and they both love it and we've all hunted enough to know what's going on. Hey, it's not for everybody just like compounds aren't for everybody and thank goodness. It would be a sad world if we all had to shoot the same brand bow or wear the same gear. You don't like it. Great for you. I've bought stuff and returned it when I felt it didn't work or was not a good product. I will buy another Scentlok suit when this one wears out. Hopefully they will be cheaper by then. If a large majority of people who use a product and are absolutely happy with it, I tend to think it's probably a good product no matter if a few people who've never actually used it claim it's junk. If something really sucks, it won't be around too long. That is a fact. Good luck and good hunting.

I didn't read all the posts in this thread, just the first one. All I can do is laugh, and say Yeah....right! First, how am I going to prove to you the gear didn't work? I can't. Plain and simple.

I bypassed the "warranty" and sold my Scent Lok, vowing to never use it again. It's uncomfortable to wear, smells like wet paint, and just doesn't work. I appreciate the fact that others wear and swear by it, but after giving it an HONEST shot......nope. Never again.

Is this article completely bogus? And if so, what was his agenda? I took mine back before ever wearing it in the field after reading this study. If this is completely inaccurate, I'd go back to Dicks and buy it again.
