I have as much confidence in them as I do in carbon based garments, none. Silver does have antibacterial qualities according to my research, but cannot nuetralize L-Serine, the compound responsible for our unique "human odor". Hunt the wind.

I read this and things looked pretty good till I got to the bottom where they discussed the odor eliminating testing they had done.They left the results of that testing rather vauge and only mentioned testing done on two fabrics, wool and polyester.They went into no detail about the results except to say they were "Exceptionly effective" .They were tested on a 6 hour effectiveness time frame which is supposed to simulate real life situations.
And for that matter why buy the clothing when you can just make your own with this handy little washing machine

All your clothing could be charged with silver Ions and nobody would ever have to take a bath again
Think Ill stick with my other clothing for now, at least untill I need a new washing machine.

Well since the topic of peeing from your stand has been discussed over and over, with the general opinion that it doesn't bother deer, I'm going to form a self help group. I figure if we all gather at the trucks before entering the woods and piss on each other, we'll be set. No more worry about spooking deer. The perfect scent eliminator, "Pee On you Buddy". You got to admit, it might be better than Snake Oil.

I have a set of the X-scent stuff and like it. I tested it for myself by wearing the socks for 2 hunts in a row (without washing) and then taking a good healthy wiff. Did the same thing with my regular wool socks. I won't say that there was no odor in the X-scent, but it was very little. There was significantly more odor in the wool.
For the most part the conditions were the same: Temp, length of hunt, distance hiked to stand, etc. I realize this is not a scientific study, but they are my results.

RE: What say you about Silver lined clothing?
the science behind it makes sense to me too. I think it's more realistic then carbon since it doesn't have to be "re-charged" but I'm not to sure. I haven't tried it out for myself, so I can't really say anything about how effective it really is. The research and science behind it makes sense to me though.
