Default Lightweight scent control clothing?

Okay, I've got some general questions - I sometimeshunt in areas wherehunting pressure makes the critters very wary of human intrusion.I own and have been successful using standard-weight and heavily-insulated scent control clothing for deer hunting, but most of these are just too warm for early hunts e.g. bear in September and early (archery) deer where temps of 70-80+ are not uncommon. Thus my questions: Are the single-layer technologies truly as effective without being as hot? What about the various scent-killer underlayers that kill bacteria etc. - if used without other scent-control layers,how effective are they? Specifically, can anyone relate an experience with the NO TRACE brand? I'm 6'2" and not skinny - I noticed that their products are not available in tall sizes.

Regular lightweight camo washed in unscented laundry detergent like Sportwash followed by a rinse with a box of baking soda in the water will provide more than adequate protection . Remove the clothing before the rinse cycle ends , wring out the excess water , then hang the garments to air dry outdoors . This will leave a residue of baking soda in the cloth that will absorb odors without adding weight . Cheap , simple , and it works at least as well as the more expensive clothing . Don't forget the unscented underarm antiperspirant .

scentlok does make lightweight clothing, BUT it doesn't breathe very well

I have the Scentlok Savannah and live in Oklahoma. On opening day of bow season the temps are still around 90. I still sweat but not as much as I would if I was wearing typical scentlok. I was thinking this year I might try wearing some under armour. They say that stuff really helps with perspiration.

Scent control technology has advanced alot since introduced. The single layer tech is as good as any.

I'm looking for a lightweight scent control camo too. Bow season just opened here in SC, Aug 15th,and its cooled down some to the mid 80s. Still gonna be hotter later. Dunno whether to go with the Scent-Lok Savannah or a base layer type product.
