The scent lock being in both best and worst did not suprise me but the can calls as the most consistent best listing did. I might have to get on of those things.

Worst: Buck Growl- Never worked for me at all!

Best: Lone Wolf Climber-Awesome, Nikon Binoc's-Excellent


**Honestly, I can't believe the desparity in the Scent-Lok garments on this thread. Are people just hating because they can't afford it? Or do so many of you have no care for scent lock clothing at all? I'm really interested in this!! Seems pretty well split thus far, but a lot have listed it as the "worst" gimmick. Wow!

I think a lot of people just don't believe that the stuff works, I am still on the fence and if it does not work then I think it just might be the biggest gimmick of all time even if only in terms of spent dollars on it.

I always buy the $10 bottle scent proofstuff and spray it on me. Why spend hundreds of dollars on clothes when a $10 bottle of spray will last several seasons?

I also put a little bit of racoon pee on the bottom of my boots to help deal with scent.
