Do you think Scent Lok is a must?

If it works so well how come I can smell my own farts?? I also can't figure out why the TV guys covered head to toe in the stuff get busted all the time.
What I don't get is when guys wear scent-loc or any other outer wear including boots in the truck while they head out??
I feel better hand washing regular coveralls and letting them air dry. They hang out in plastic totes or bags and I just don't put them on until I'm away from the truck.
I do have a scent-loc day pack just in case it does work at all..

It's a sham.
1. Activated carbon becomes saturated and cannot be reactivated by a household dryer.
2. It is hanging in the store open and exposed to air so it is probably totally saturated before you even get it home.
3. The amount of carbon that is actually in the lining of this stuff is so scant that even if it weren't already saturated at the time of purchase there is no way it could be of much benefit. And once it quickly becomes saturated it is of no benefit at all.
4. What the TV hunters say about it is worthless. Cut somebody a big check and they will claim anything works. Ever seen an Extenze commercial? LOL! Or a commercial for any of the 15 different miracle weight loss pills out there?

I dont use it. I do take deer every year without it. I do use scent free deoderant, the cheap stuff arm and hammer from wal-mart. I use any bar soap that is scent free, again arm and hammer, or whatever is on sale. I use scent free detergent, again whatever is on sale. I usually leave my clothes in a big plastic container.

If you're talking about the brand "scent lok", NO its not a must. Being conscience of the importance of scent and practicing good common sense when playing the wind is a must, but wearing all that stupid so-called scent locking clothing is not important at all. Just wear rubber boots, keep your clothes separated from everyday clothes (I use a trashbag and some pine limbs), spray down before you hit the woods, and pick a stand location that won't blow your scent into a bedding area. If you hunt upwind of a bedding area, you'll never see that big mature buck, no matter what kinda fancy clothes you're wearing. Don't waste your money on stupid hunting gimmicks. Indians did it for years without the kind of crap people swear by today. And don't give me any crap about how the deer adapt to today's new age hunters and how the bar is raised by all the new technology, thats dumb. Rubber boots, a good stand location, and a good entry path is all you need. You can swear by that this year and 100 years from now.

This year I actually bought a pair of Scent Lok pants to go along with my leafyMosy Oak pullover for bowseason. Im going to try, for the firts time, if a baseslayer under the leafy and the pants, and my scentlock face mask help in the slightest bit.
(I got them on sale at Gander Mntn when they had the price tags mixed up on the racks. The manager said that they had to give it to me since it was advertised!)
