Default Scent Lok

Would anyone know how long Scent Lok material lasts before it needs to be replaced or does the carbon last as long as the clothing?

For what they want for it $$ ,you would think it should last forever. I have no Idea though.

I own a couple different scent blocker plus suits. I believe the more you wash them, the shorter they will last. I only wash them if i sweat my tail off in them or if they get muddy. I just keep them in tubberware and keep them scent free as possible. I wash them, tops, twice a year.

Speaking from experience , roughly two years. Then it becomes a really expensive plain ol' huntin suit.


But on the bright side , the carbon lining does seem to keep the skeeters from biting through!

I've heard the same thing. 2-3 years. I bought my suit before doing homework on it. Just saw it in the store one day and bought it with some gift certificates I had saved up. I still have mixed feelings on whether or not I would buy a new suit in the future. I do believe it works to reduce scent but I don't necessary think it's worth the retail price.

I hear ya....I'm trying it for the first time this year. I opt'd for the less expensive under layers of Scent Blocker and Scent Lok.....that way I can wear my camo of choice on the outside. If nothin else, like BOW said, keeps the skeeters away, it'll be a layer affect for warmth etc...and maybe keep my stink down..[8D]

I'm glad after reading these posts that I never invested any money in these things. I think they are way over priced. I have not had any problem watching the wind and killing deer.

I love my Scentlok suits. After 2-3 years, I will replace them and use the old ones when I hang stands.

I still hunt the wind, but I want EVERY possible advantage going for me when I'm hunting.

Check out fastestbows.com/articles/corrigan/scent_suits.htm. I bought a scent loc suit four years ago. Seemed to be effective for one season. I am convinced they are a waste of money. I did order some xscent underclothing. This next generation of scent control sounds like the real thing. They don't make the wild claims that scent loc does.....Dabow
