Good one.

RE: Do you think Scent Lok is a must?
 

The question is whether Scent-Lok works. Advertising and marketing aside , thousands and thousands of Scent-Lok products are sold every year. Hunter that have used it and used it properly have found a benefit to it. If it didn't work, it would not sell. This is a pretty basic business premise. If you produce a product and it doesn't work for the consumer ,you are out of business. They stop buying it.No one can dupe a couple million hunters for this long.

We all make buying decissions based on advertising, what our buddies say,
what we read, our own presonal expierence and money.Just to name a few. Trust me when I tell you. If it didn't work for me, I sure wouldn't use it , or have any part of it. I'd be wasting my time and HARD earned money. And I don't like to waste money. It's too hard to come by.

It's no magic elixar, it's an aid. A very good one.

this seems true, but pet rocks used to sell like hotcakes.:eek:[8D]

I think scentlok is great for those who want to use it. IDK if it can be regenerated in a dryer or not, im no scientist. But i'm willing to bet that over half the people who buy the stuff, buy it because of the name or image. i know that everyone i personally know that wears it, wears it for the name or self image it gives em. they want to use what the pros use, which ties back to advertising.

All that aside, ive looked into it VERY seriously, and concluded that no one who has bought it has been ripped off, because as GMMAT said, it is good quality camo if nothing else. I just couldn't bring myself to paying twice the price for a camo suit, because it has a carbon liner in it, which is controversial at best on whether it works or not.

The answer is no.

lol now that is funny. i hate to agree, but......

RE: Do you think Scent Lok is a must?
 

You have no personal expierence in the matter. That's like me saying there arealot of big bucks in N.Y. I've never hunted there , I've only read about it.

RE: Do you think Scent Lok is a must?
 

Like I said archer..........you just don't understand.

I have plenty of experience with carbon........from the basics right up to nearly a decade of post graduate study. All in all I would put it at about 16+ years of working with it on many levels ranging frombasic applications right up to complex lab procedures involved in published peer reviewed studies.

But you're right...........you probably know more because you put on a suit and saw a deer downwind once :eek:

RE: Do you think Scent Lok is a must?
 

Well this is where I bow out. It was a pretty interesting discussion, but now it's turned into who's smarter and who can make who look more dumb. I can out wit you, no you can't........enjoy.

There are countless examples that will prove the above statement false. Especially when you factor in SL's "magic" is based on something not easily verifiable. Not without thousands of dollars of equipment.

Lets face it folks this stuff does not work. It doesn't have enough carbon in it to stop one fart. Even if it did, it would absorb to much smell by the time it hits the store. You loose well over half the carbon on the first wash, look at the bottom of your washing machine. Scent/air follows the path of least resistance always! There is less resistance at the cuffs and neck linethan through the cloth so your scent is escaping.

If it makes you feel more confient about getting in the stand early in the morning with coffee on your breath and sugar from the mornings donuts on your fingers then have at it but don't give credit to the suit. The deer came in and stayed around hoping for coffee and donuts dammit!

In all the posts on this subject ,I never saw you post this information. I missed it somehow. So you are the local expert. Why have you not tested a sample of SL on your own? You have the knowledge and resources.


I NEVER said I knew more.


It happened TWICE.
