If ya care. It's washing that kills the garment. As long as they aren't washing them in the store I don't care.

Mans best friend knows what to do. What does a good hunting dog do right after you give it a bath?
It goes out and finds the grossest smelling thing it can to role in and get rid of that human shampoo smell.
The scent lok suit is so when you go role in dog doo, you can take it off later and it blocks that smell from getting on you, stays with the suit, but you come out fresh as a daisy.
Then ya got to wear that Xscent stuff undernieth to kill yur odors so as not to funk up the dog doo smell.

Seriously, I have Scent block pants and jacket that I wouldn't wear if they were not comfortable, quiet, breathable, waterproof, and usable through a wide range of temperatures. Other garments with out carbon but with the same qualities mentioned above are about the same in price. The carbon is pretty much a bonus in my book. I take care of it as instructed and pay no attention to the slogan, "forget the wind just hunt." I'll forget the wind when I stop breathing.
I have to say that I'm doing something right. The last deer walked right in on the same trail I walked in on. Was 40-45 yards down wind for quite a while and then walked straight in.

I agree with you wack. I am really looking in to buying a good set of camo, and it just seems that all the high quality ones are the same price as the scent lok ones, so why not go with the carbon set.

i know i wash every bit of clothes when i buy them weather it is scent lock or not which i do not own
in scent free soap

The only thing I'd change is the leg zippers. I'd put them on the outside where they belong. On the inside, I'm always tripping on them when I have the zippers open. I'd also make the zipper go a lot higher so I can get them on/off with my boots on. I dress outside, usually sitting on my tailgate, Got to take my socks and shoes off, stand up and put my pants on, then my clean socks and boots. Full leg zippers you can take your pants off or put them on with your boots on. Big advantage. Other than that, the ones I have fit the bill just fine and should last a long time. I hope.

Dont worry, ill grow it back sometime.:D:D

RE: scent lock clothes in the store
 

Id say to those who have scent loc, use them. Every advantage you can get helps. I dont own any because I cant justify the price. Besides, I can impregnate all my clothes with activated carbon in my lab, which I do. ;)

Droptine just make sure to keep the other firefighters away from the oven while you're doing this. Hate to see your scenlok end up on the table at the station. (slight humor)

Germ,

I don't think young deer are stupid. Just inexperienced. You don't mean old wise deer you mean old pressured deer.

If you enter an area to hunt that hasn't seen humans. Larger olderdeer in that area wouldn't fear you. They'd likely be curious just like younger deer.

It's the pressure not the age.

RE: scent lock clothes in the store
 

Well Tom being inMI they are all pressured, but I will agree 100% with you.

Just go on Ebay and purchase a camouflaged chem suit. Should be able to pick one up for about $15.00. Hang it outsidebefore each time you use it and it works as good as any Scentlok suit. I have had deer within 10 feet of me with this. If you want to go crazy, build a pine box with a small fan blowing into it. Inside the box put a scent pan with pine needles, dirt, and leaves. Put your clothes in this overnight before hunting and the fan will pretty much saturate the clothes with the smell of the items in the scent pan. Btw use a small fan, like the one on your CPU so it doesn't blow the stuff from the scent pan all over the place.

Emmmm scent loc roast.

RE: scent lock clothes in the store
 

I'm thinkingit might not burn because of the foil but that high of temperature might weaken and damage the fabric. You don't want it to be weak and start falling apart in shreds

RE: scent lock clothes in the store
 

I think it's weird and unfortunatethat some of my fellow hunters actually believe this stuff works. I wish they would save their money.

RE: scent lock clothes in the store
 

When I fart in my scentlok pants it still stinks. That has to mean something.[8D]

On a serious note, most people who spend the money on scentlok follow a total scent control program (ie shower, rubber tubs, spray down, rubber boots, breath control, etc). When deer downwind fail to detect them, they say "Wow, that scentlok suit really must work". In reality, it's probably everything ELSE you did to stay scent free that made the difference, not the scentlok.

RE: scent lock clothes in the store
 

i agree

RE: scent lock clothes in the store
 

Could be, but I doubt it happened all at once. The scentlok came along in the process out of a need, so there must have been a problem in the scent control plan to begin with. You don't hear guys saying they still have a need after the scentlok.

RE: scent lock clothes in the store
 

It does. It means the filter wasn't designed to handle stink in large amounts quickly. It also could mean you aren't wearing it according to the directions. It fits tight at the openings for a reason.

It also is a little , I don't know the right way to say it... Your most likely like many others who piss off their stand. Farts no different and according to many others isn't the kind of stink that disturbes deer. Therefore the filter maybe for a different substance.

Ya know what's really wrong with this picture. I'm arguing with a fart sniffer.:DJK
