C'mon now guys! He's already stated he's a firm believer in the clothing and wasn't asking for an opinion of whether or not it works. He was just askin' for some direction on which products to buy.

i'd go with the udergarment. give yourself the protection of scent control but leave the layering option open for temperature change.

I won't spend a dime on it!!!! From what I've read and from what I understand about activated carbon there's no way that crap works.(Example) I'm a painter, guess what my mask filters are made out of, thats right activated carbon. The instructions say after 8 hours of use or just even out of the sealed bag there shot. Mabey I should just throw them in the drier for a while to reactivte the carbon....right? I don't think so!!! There are also alot of guys that swear by it. I can't explain it!

Bird,

Scent lok, can work if used properly. But if left out and not taken care of properly will soon run out of absorbtive capability like any carbon fabric that is left out in the elements and not stored properly. Below explains the how and why re-activation of scent lok works after your suit has been used while hunting.

Why carbon?
Activated carbon is the most effective odor-eliminating substance known to man. The American College Dictionary uses charcoal in their definition of the word adsorb: “to gather on a surface in a condensed layer, as when charcoal adsorbs gases (suck in)”. Militaries around the world use carbon in chemical warfare suits to protect soldiers. While these military suits are designed very different from a Scent-Lok hunting suit, their basic applications are the same. Carbon is also used in multitudes of filtration systems for filtering not only air but liquids as well. It should also be noted that Scent-Lok branded clothing use 100% coconut carbon, which is more porous and therefore more adsorbtive than charcoal.

The bonding process
In the Scent-Lok products the odor adsorbing linings are designed so that the human odors, gases, and moisture pass through the fabrics, make contact with the activated carbon, and are then expelled as “filtered” air. Once through the suit the air no longer contains human odor. The scientific name for this molecular attraction to carbon is called the VanDeraal’s bond.

How much carbon is enough?
A very thin layer of activated carbon is all that is needed to adsorb the odors released on several hunts. Too much carbon is overkill and cuts down on the permeability and overall comfort of the garment. The ideal scenario is to have enough carbon for the suit to function as designed, but not so much that the suit is uncomfortable to wear during warm weather due to lack of airflow through the suit.


How are odors released?
Temperature factor: It is common knowledge that heat makes molecules move more rapidly. Reactivation is only obtained by using a clothes dryer. Reactivation is achieved by placing the suit in a dryer for twenty to thirty minutes on a medium to high heat setting or according to the label instructions. The heat from the clothes dryer creates what is scientifically known as Brownian molecular motion, which causes the scent molecules to move rapidly. This movement breaks the molecules free from the surfaces of the activated carbon particles and interior pores of the carbon, and allow them to eventually exit out of the dryer vent.

shed,
I belive that if I bought a Scent-lock suit that was in a sealed bag from the factory it would work form some time.But you go into Cabela's or any other store there scent- lock is hanging on the shelf absorbing store odors. If someone could prove to me that a drier will reactivate carbon I would be sold on the technology. But I've read that it takes like 1400 degreas to reactivate carbon.

I have a buddie that has every stitchof clothes that scent lock makes and he swears by it.
But I'm still not sold!

Breath is probably ten times stronger than the average body odor, and we all have to breathe, so what are you gonna do about your breath ?
I also do not believe the suits work nor do I believe in any scent eliminating product. This past weekend my hunting buddy used every product available to eliminate his scent, the clothes soap, the body soap, the suit, the sprays, everything ! and he got winded immediately while I did nothing and saw deer, go figure.

I have a scent lok camo suit one of the first ones. It is big and It gets hot when it is above 50 and sunny. But it sure works good. I was given a new insulated Suppresant suit that I havent used yet.

I were the liner that way I can get the camo pattern I want. It is hard to find anything but Advantage or mossy oak break up with scent lok. Plus the camo is cheaper without it. I believe it works great. I have yet to be winded with it on. many times last year year I was stuck in my stand for an hour or more after dark because of deer milling around my stand. Call it fate, blind luck, or whatever, but it never happened before I started wearing the scentlock.

I have a light weight Scent Blocker 3d jacket in Mossy Oak Break up I wear when I am in a spot that will blend with it to double up on the protection.

Someone posted on hear about brath stinking. Well I also have a scent lok mask I wear and when it gets cold out I double up with a fleece mask I wear over the scent lok.

Like I said I have yet to be winded with the scent lok on.

I suggest you buy the under garmet. You already have camo so now you just need to control your scent. Just add layers under the scent lok.
