ScentBlocker Plus
 

I' m currently trying to decide if the ScentBlocker Plus liner suit is worth the money? How long does this stuff last? I hear that Scent Lok only lasts a few years before all the carbon gets washed out. Is Scent Blocker the same way? I know nothing will totally eliminate human scent but anything is better than nothing. What do you think, is this stuff worth $170? Thanks guys!

Personally I doubt I' ll ever own one and it' s not because of cost. A scent suit is only as good as the headwear. I believe and I don' t have scientific fact but, most our odors, come from our hair and breath and without the headgear, it' s pointless to wear and I' m not about to wear it.

I go as scentless as possible including showering, washing my clothes and using Scent Killer. All this and watching the wind has paid off for me. I don' t believe a scent suit would have helped in any of the situations when I have been busted by wind.

IMO

Scent-lok and Scent Blocker both use the same licensed carbon material........under the Scent-tek name and this license is owned by Scent-Lok. I am going with Goretex Suppressant, my first odor suit. According to Goretex, their garments can be washed regularly as opposed to the Scent-Lok which states on the clothing tags to wash 1-2 times a yr.

I also use supressscet for the past two seasons, still seems to work.

Do they have a Polar Tech Fleece? or a Fleece at all, I would like to check that out. I am not apposed to Scent Loc or any other brand , I just want it to be fleece.
Thanks~Ben

I have had scent-loc for 2 years, will continue to use it, but to me it' s only a tool to help control scent, I still believe in using the wind. And as previously mentioned most (some say over 60%) of human scent is above the shoulders. Scent loc' s savanah (light weight) head cover was a blessing this past early season. I sure wish they would get the cost down on this stuff, especially since it only lasts a few years, 5 at most from what I read.

I see that Bass Pro Shops carries RedHead Supprescent liners. I' m surprised by how cheap it actually is, compared to other scent control suits. They look rather heavy, would the liners be too warm for early season hunts? Thanks!

Dont think I will get any.
For starters it does not come in my favourite pattern ASAT.

Most of my hunting gear is scent-lok and works fine,just throw in dryer to reactivate. no need to wash unless your careless gutting and get blood all over them. I wash maybe once a year at best. The dryer takes care of the odors and kills bacteria. It also builds up your confidence should the wind change. I deffinately think their worth the price. I,ve even accumulated suits for fall and suits for winter,they also have winter and fall headgear,gloves etc. hope this helps

Ben, I have the Goretex Windstopper suppressant jacket that is microsuede, similiar to fleece but its supposed to shed burrs, Its brand new so I have had no opportunity to wear it hunting yet. I haven' t bught the pants yet, may buy the pants liner.

I had the scentblocker plus ultralite suit, I had bought it marked down at Cabela' s, it was way too hot and heavy for me. I usually dress in layers and this suit alone was too hot in the early season. I' m not one to get cold easily so I wanted something lighter. Even with the liners, you still need to wear camo over that, that' s two layers in what could be a very warm early season.

I returned it in the fall right before the season and Scent-lok came out with their new climaflex savanna series. I bought the bdu pants and shirt of that stuff and love it. They claim, emphasize claim, that while it' s lighter you actually gain better performance with the new cloth. The stuff is so light weight you barely even know the difference from regular camo. You can see light through this stuff. I wear scentblocker gloves, headcover , rubber boots and this suit on the way into my stand, practice all the soaps and stuff and shot 2 deer this year 15-20 yards downwind that had come in on my backtrail. I had 5 others do the same.

I don' t think any of this stuff is foolproof. A combination of all measures will work together to minimize you scent downwind and offer you the best opportunity. They claim, that washing twice a year and it will last 10 years. I like it because it breathes and just a tshirt during the warm season is comfortable and I can always add layers durinig the cold. One note, try to run large on the size so you can wear warm weather gear under with out restricting your movement.

I' m not pushing them by any means but I just checked Cabelas and they have this stuff marked down about 10 bucks a piece, just thought I' d let you know

I' ve read that roughly 33% of scent comes from your feet, 33% from the body, and 33% from the head. Makes sense to me. Why would so many hardcore bowhunters wear rubber boots 100% of the time in the field. I try to suppress scent in as many places as I can, using techniques which fit my wallet. Personally, I' m investing in activated charcoal outerwear, rather than in linings.

RE: ScentBlocker Plus
 

I think I am going for the Linings. I have so much good camo already it would be a shame to buy more! But on the other hand I do like the ASAT camo, that might be in the cards as well! I am very scent wary, R-boots, shampoo, soap, scent killer why not try the Scent Blocker+ linings seems it could only help me!
