Ding...Ding....Ding...we have a winner!! I have a buddy that has the "top of the line" everything, well the most expensive stuff anyway. Every year it is new this and new that and scent lok boxers, socks, clothes, base layers, ear muffs, hat, etc. He has had a new bow every year since I have known him (15 years) and some years two. New guns, most expensive he can get, latest greatest sights, sling, everything....you know the guy. I say good for him, I mean it's his money.He looks like a walking, talkinghunting product commercial and hey he must be a great hunter he has all the"best" stuff, right. Well he is pretty sharp but over the past 3 seasons he's down like 25 to 9 and my Wal-Mart camo and $40 rubber bootsare still holding up after all those seasons. It's not all bad though, I get some great hand me downs.:D

I don't think anyone is upset with the garments, just at the notion that a company is misleading consumers.I am sure the mfg is going to put forth claims that it works and have the science to prove it.Just like statistics. Statistics don't lie, statisticians do.

Do you always believe the doctors and scientists advocating a product in promotional videos? You know all those crazy infomercials at 3 am usually have Dr. Bubba Johnson "M.D." board certified cardiologist advocating some snake oil that will make your heart last 300 years. Get real GMMAT...just because a scientist or doctor on T.V. says a product works doesn't make it "PROOF"

That's classy, Atlas. I'm busting a gut, here. What's next? A good Leukemia or SIDS joke????

Jeff, I'm pulling for you, I really am, and this dogpile thing that's going on right now sucks...but, I have done some research on activated carbon myself. I didn't look at anything that had to do with hunting, just activated carbon and reactivating that carbon. Now I have to admit a lot of what I read was way over my head, but what I did understand was that activated carbon in large quantities will "fill up" rather quickly, and smaller quantities (likethose in carbon clothing)are "filled up" almost at exposure to unfiltered air. Then to reactivate that carbon it took temperatures that clothing certainly couldn't stand up to, in the 1000's of degrees I believe. Now I know when I take clothes right out my dryer those metal buttons are dang hot, but I doubt it can reactivate carbon if that is what it takes.

With that said I still buy scent reducing clothing (on sale) because I feel it has other properties that help in my scent reducing regiment. I just don't believe that it absorbs my scent and can be reactivated as indicated by the ads.

LOL all this bickering over flat worlds and golf scores. Why not stick to the topic[>:]

So far, the lab providing the test results has aparently been proven for fraud in multiple cases. So far their list of credentials isnt looking too hot.

Carbon is reactivated at a temperature that no dryer can reach, not to mention the fabrics would burn up before it reached that temp. so essentially, the carbon has already been used up by the time you take it off the hanger in the store and take it home.

Atlas apparently has a background in the subject, what more credentials do you need?

you say he keeps refuting all the proof presented to him, but "I killed two bucks this year wearing it...DISPEL THAT" isnt very solid proof, ok it isnt proof at alllol. Give us a break. who are you to say they wouldnt have came by if you had thin cotton clothes on?

Hes simply asking you to DISPEL the fact that carbon can't be reactivated in SL clothes. no one can as of yet in this arguement. . . .:eek:

having a personal problem with atlas is no reason to argue with him about scientific laws, you wont get anywhere.

all that said, you are rightin the fact that SL does make good garments if nothing else. i wear it some simply because i like the quality of the garments, not because i believe it works.

edit: spelling sucks[:'(]

Are you kiddin', Bry??? ...lol. I don't believe everything they tell me, either. What I do know is....and what I've said all along is....it's STILL good (actually VERY good) camo. I'm gonna wear camo, anyways....so why not get the SL ON THE CHANCE it helps out (______%).

I guarantee you I paid less for my SL garments than MANY, MANY people paid for their non SL items. I just watch for it on sale. All that.....and I "think" I own about 4 total garments. I have more in my enigma suit than I do in ALL of my SL garments, combined.

If it helps me (_____%)......and I'm gonna wear camo anyways......WHY NOT wear the SL?

TEmbry.....

blah, blah, blah.....

I'll ask you guys to do the same thing Mobow asked you to do (a long time ago). Show us where the scientists have been proven to have committed FRAUD.....and I'll jump ship.

I have no ties to these folks. I don't lose or gain anything if they're proven to be fraud artists. Won't the courts decide this for us?

I'll tell ya what.....if the courts take this to trial.....and the SL people win....will the SL detractors shut up?????? Nope. Just like with the scientists saying it does work.....they'll never believe anything.
