well last year i went through three scent a way kits a gallon or so of extra spray and a few add deodorant sticks.
I wash down twice i spray everything i wear to the spot and what i hunt in.
I spray my stand when i get there i spray down at least twice when i hunt.
And i started carrying a stick of deodorant with me late last year. i sweat alot even when it is 50 out.

you must be tall.
DDDDDdDaaaaaammmmmmnnnnn!

Seriously though Big Tim, if your cloths are clean (non scented) and you shower down (non scented) and I personal feel use Scent Killer before and after you get to your stand and hunt the wind the best you can (can't be perfect), you'll be doing everything you can besides spending the money. Deer have been taken before these other products and they will from this date forward. Do everything you can right and it'll pay off. If and when you have it, pick up a suit if it helps your confidence.

Good luck big man.

Tim,
I've used the BEST Scent-Lok suit you can find (IMVHO), a Military CHEM Suit, the technology that the Scent-Lok was derived from. But I don't use it except for LATE season now for the warmth now!!! Look around, and see if you can find some X-SCENT or Silver Ion anti-microbial base layers. If you can get them, put them on as your base right against your skin, then wear whatever outers you want. My early season stuff would be worthless in the late season when there is snow on the ground and who the hell has $600 or so to put into 3 set of scent-lok outers??? Not me!!!! IF you can find some of this stuff in your size, get it, it's the BEST stuff I've used. Also, if you're not wearing a facemask, even a really light one, you should be, I've read that anywhere from 80-95% of our scent comes from our HEAD!!!!

Good Luck!!!!

EDIT: Especially for SWEATY GUYS, I'm a sweater too, the X-scent in a LIGHT weight base layer is almost perfect. Whether stand hunting, stalking, or climbing my happy but all over mountains in Colorado, they did a great job of keeping my stink down!!!

Hey Tim, I am a big guy too (6'10" 380) and I too would REALLY like a scent lok suit, if for no other reason than because it is quality stuff. My bro has a couple suits, and they are sweet, but he is closer to normal size. I wear a 3XT in most things, the T for me is the more important part. OHbowhntr mentioned the X-scent stuff, and I use it. I have a pair of Cabelas long undies that have the silver fibers in them, they are the bowhunter extreme or something like that, and they are awesome. Gander Mountain has a lot of stuff that comes in 3X that fits me very well, like it is big for the size marked. I have a full set of their TecH2O rain gear in 3X that fits awesome, the jacket it actually a little big. I also have two pullover in 3X that fit great. Definitely worth a look for you. I got a Scent Blocker Dream Season jacket for by b-day last year, and it fits ok, just a little short. Pants weren't even close. Good luck in your search! I have also gotten stuff of bigcamo.com. I got my boots there, Bogs in size 17.
