Your bow treeestand and accessories all have foriegn odors. It would be impossible to keep everything scent free. How can you keep a climber scent free in the back of a pickup?
On the otherhand if someone can justify spending the money for the stuff then I suppose there may be an added advantage. I certainly can't be hurting you. But like Arthur said, who knows if it's really helping you when faced with a situation like a buck coming in downwind from you. I've been "caught with my pants down" before too without scent lock. No way to know if it was or wasn't the clothing.
Bottom line is though either way it's certainly not a situation where the stuff is going to have a negative impact so hey what the heck go for it if you feel like spending the $$$.

Besides, you can't prove to me that the deer you killed wouldn't have come in whether you were or weren't wearing that suit.
ALL the 'proof' that scentlock stuff works is anecdotal just like your story. For every one of those stories about deer coming in from downwind while wearing scentlock, we could get another story about the same thing happening for a guy who'd been without clean clothes or a bath for a week.

To fully re-activate saturated activated-carbon, you must heat it to approximately 800 °C or 1,472 °F, in a controlled atmosphere of low oxygen concentration to reduce the possibility of combustion.
What does "fully reactivate" really mean? At what temps do human scent molecules 'vaporize'?
I still say the stuff doesn't hurt. I stil practice 'hunt the wind' stratagies. I still bath and deodorized with scent free products. I see carbon as a benefit.

Also to be honest with you guys I won't take anyone to any of my hunting spots if they don't wear scent lok and practice strict scent control measures let alone be super accurate with their archery gear. And then I only take them if the wind is working for more than 1 stand site.
I have taken my 3 biggest bucks since I started using scent lok 3 years ago. Concidence or not that I can't answer.
Even if the stuff only catches 1/3 of my scent it is worth every penny to me.

What do you scent lock guys recomend??

Give me a price range and will make some suggestions[8D]
I like the MT050 gore tex rain gear myself but it is pricey. But even
if / when the scent lok is not longer any good I still got one hell of a rain suit

As PA mentioned you can buy the liner suit for $100 bucks. You just put your favorite camo right on top of it. It will work for all seasons.

I'm in need of new Scentlok this year. I have had mine now for 3 seasons, but I got it cheap, $50 each for the pants and jacket. I lost a bunch of weight and now I'm basically swimming in the stuff....it was just poly-cotton material which I DO NOT RECOMMEND as it bleaches out easiliy and pills up just as easily. I'm looking at the Dakota and Savanna series and also some of Cabela's lines as well. There's a lot to choose from!
