I, too, store my scent-lok in a rubbermaid container with the wafers (just like I do ALL my hunting clothes). if you do this.....and it absorbs the scent wafer smell.....where's the rub? If you can actually regenerate the scent lok capabilities in your dryer.....what difference would it make HOW you stored it?

I would guess the reason is b/c it would be come saturated quicker, therefore, not working as well as advertised.

Scent-Lok is intended to be stored scent free while not in use. They warn not to store the suit w/ any cover scents.

If you buy into this assumption....then you must also buy into the assumption that at some point...the garment can not be regenerated (i.e. it's absorbed all it's going to....and connot be regenerated).
Correct?

Correct?
However, please keep in mind the amount of scent molecules that are being given off by a single scent wafer versus those being given off by a hunter who is using scent-free soaps and only using the garment for a few hours at a time. I have some scent wafers in my bow case from more than 2 years ago and every time I open it up it's like a punch in the face of HS Fresh Earth scent. Those things are pretty potent, and they're going to fill your suit up quick. Not to mention if you store in the container and fill up the suit you need to regenerate it before using it and you're not going to be doing that in the field or on the side of the road at 4 am.

So if a hunter WANTED his scent lok suit to smell like scent wafers......once the suit was "full".....regeneration attempts would be futile. The "up" side to this (using the logic presented) would be a suit that contained scent wafer scents and couldn't absorb anything else (at least not the carbon).
Is this correct logic?

Not really....You don't want to have to dry the thing every time you get ready to hunt? Less drying equals longer life
