I agree. I used mine when I was at Ft. Hood. Dropped a doe at around 5yds and I was out in the open. Those suits have more thsn 1 use atleast. Problem is that after a few washes they just become a jumpsuit. The charcoal filiment doesn't last long.

Tree,
The charcoal filiment washes out over time. You've sweat your backside off in one of those things before. Don't tell me you weren't a shade darker when you took it off.

Well, I know it is good for a couple of wears at least. We were issued two each before we got there and on March 20, 2003 I put one of them on for the first time. We had what we thought at the time was a scud missle get intercepted over our tent by a patriot missle. Turns out it was a british jet that did not make positive communications with our camp. Anywho....I put that suit and the other one on probably another 30-40 times with all the scud missle attacks on our camp. So I know they are worth at least that. My skin has not peeled off since so they must have worked.

Check out an article in whitetail deer hunting-scent control. This should answer all your questions about chemical suits and carbon suits. There is also some brand new technologies that are now available for scent control/elimination.
