ORIGINAL: my7pointmonster ORIGINAL: DropTine249 Hey, its just another scent REDUCING tool, available to us. I wouldnt even think about hunting if I didnt have my scent blocker gear. I use shower, deodorant, sprays, scent blocker, scent blcoker transport bags, scent blocker boot gaiters- you name it, I've spared no expense and I cant recall getting winded since. Ryan. |

Everyone gets busted by deer from time to time no matter what precautions you might take. And you are not always aware of them busting you. |

Ok, I made a post on here the other day talking about why i DO think scent-lok is effective...lets see what you think..
Scent-lok is made possible through activated carbon which keeps scent from escaping, now it may seem like this mere carbon could not be that powerful, however consider this... this same activated carbon has the power to take color out of a Dr. Pepper without removing the taste, chemical properties or smell. The same can be said for any of those things, the carbon can be made to remove anything from a substance without altering the other properties. This same carbon is often used in products that don't pass the regulations to be, say, beer. A company (that will remain nameless) wanted to producce a regular beer, however they didn't meet standards, so they use carbon to take the color our and sell it as a non-beer alcholic beverage......This same kind of thing is used in scent-lok, it is specifically designed by some of the smartest engineers in the field to remove human scent. Works well if ya ask me |

i think it works how much and how good is another question i think to many big name pros put there name behind it for it to be bull****

Ok this is the way i see it....scent lok is a waste of money! The purpose of scent elimination is to eliminate scent. Why spend uber big bucks on clothing with carbon in it?! You can eliminate scent simply...all you need to do is shower in unscented shampoos, wash your clothes in unscented detergent(I use the hunting stuff, but you can just use baking soda), and store your clothes in a bin, away from smells. Furthermore, don't use scented deodorant or anything that gives off a scent on you. There ya go---no scent!!!! I don't play the wind and never will. I have had deer come in from every direction imaginable--they are unpredictable! If i have made every precaution to eliminate that scent then i should have nothing to worry about. The deer may still smell me but thats part of the game. Here is the only point i need to bring up---people that wear scent lok suits still get smelled! It doesn't matter what you do---deer can always smell you. Sometimes you get lucky sometimes you don't. If the scent lok suits were worth the money nobody would ever get smelled while wearing one! Thats my point of view. We should stop supporting people that use our sport to put money in their pockets. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying these are bad people! However, they obviously see an easy way to make money by taking advantage of people dedicated to a sport so profoundly that they would wear a suit of carbon to avoid being smelled! Thats how i see it...thats my ten cents worth :)

Just hunt the wind. I pissed off the side of my stand 2 times yesterday morning. Too much coffee I guess. Still, had deer coming right by me. I can't afford those scent control suits. I just try to get high with a good cover, good shooting lanes, and sit still. Besides you pay all that money then have to take a leek over the side of your stand?!? Funny how they don't show that on T.V. nor do they show the hunts when these guys get busted. You gotta figure these guys are out there 4 to 5 days a week. They see a big buck in a field too far off there out there the next day. "Hey lets move our stand over for the next night to get closer" etc... We get to go once a week twice if it's a good weekend. If a deer is too far off we have to wait 5 or 6 day's or in my case right now 2 weeks before I can "get closer". The advantage is not in the suit. The advantage is in the amount of time spent in the field.

Works well if ya ask me P.S. Furthermore, the amount of carbon in these garments is so small. There is so much space between their little dots. Odors and vapors are just like liquids, they take the path of least resistance. More goes between their dots than could ever possibly be absorbed. They overcome a lot of the intial criticism that these garments were hot and stuffy and didn't breath by putting less and less actual carbon in them. Trust me, if you ever saw a one pound bag of activated carbon dust dropped on the floor you'd see some nasty crap that stains everything. There is onlyenough of this stuff in these garments to beable to say they have activated carbon in them. It's one very successful con with NO merit. |
RE: Why Scent-lok is a joke. (opinion)
I wont use it because ive killed more deer stalking and staying downwind. Plus rubbing leaves and brush on my hunting suit will cover up the human scent enough...And plus what did hunters do for the 1.5 million years before scent lok came out. please spend that money elsewhere. like a better bow or even another bow.

Scent Lok is still a joke in 2018
I ordered a heavy weight base layer for cold weather hunting for $75 a piece top and bottom when I received the base layers the scenes were coming undone on the pants call scent Lok they couldn't send me an exchange I had to send the whole order back to them they would have to refund my money which would take 10 days after they received the product well today I just got my refund over two weeks later and only half the money $74.99 was refunded call scent Lok the lady said she would have to contact accounting and get back with me so in the meantime during all this I had to order another set of base layers and wait for them to come in just so I could hunt the few days I have left of this year I already missed most of the rut scent Lok is a joke buyer beware not only does their product Fall Apart you have to send your entire order back to them once they receive it you have to wait 10 business days to get a refund and only received partial refund that's not how you treat customers who's been repeated customers will never buy scent Lok products ever again will use Nomad hunting clothing or Under Armour for now on
