RE: When will it end? scent lock vest?
For what its worth, and I started this thing, I own Scent-Loc savannah coveralls. They were a gift and I use them. They are not really a part of my scent control regimen though. I just don't believe the carbon can be "reactivated" at household drier temps. Something about science.
I do believe it is a well made garment and use it for that reason. But a vest used in layering with other carbon impregnated clothes? Why? Don't you believe the stuff you already have on will work? Or is more better? I'll go with the $30 savings and buy non carbon if and when I need a vest.

So we're down to $$. (which is a HUGE issue in a lot of these discussions)
Thanks.

I don't think you're listening to what I'm saying Greg.....
Given the choice of a non scent lok or a scent lok garment ....IF you believe in the technology......
WHY would you CHOOSE the non scent lok? Where's the harm? Leave the $$ out of it.

RE: When will it end? scent lock vest?
It's funny to me that the only guys who ever rip on scent-lok and other types of scent containing clothes are the same guys who have NO clue how to use it at all or understand, through information, how to use it at all.
And the other guys who rip on scent containing clothes just do it cause there buddy told them too.

The ones you guys tend to ignore and pretend don't exist are the ones, who like myself have tried the stuff with an open mind and used it properly from head to toe but after repeated observations found out it had no real consequence to being "winded" or not.
Sure, I have had days all decked out in carbon clothing and had a deer get downwind and still not detect me. I've also had them wind me from well over a 100 yards out. Guess I didn't understand how to use it on some days but did on others.
I have just as many successes with going undetected with deer downwind by doing nothing but climbing up in a tree with whatever I had on and the bath that I took 6-8 hours before.
When you are 15-25ft in the air and wind currents aren't always what they seem, and you are dealing with different "experience level" deer inthe way of age structure, is it not plausible that someone wearing a scent lok or similar regiment and all sprayed down to boot, just might get a "false positive" that he wrongly attributes to his "scent control meaures"?
But wait,itsbased on science. I know you guys bring that up frequently.
"Science" is a very broad and overused term when substantiating the "supposed" effectiveness of products. From the "Grapefruit Diet" to copper wrist bands to about every product soldon late night television commercials.They are all backed by "Science" as well.
But just as it has been proven scientificallythata Placebo iseffective with some patients, go buy the vest,..... it might just give you the edge you looking for.
But my "buddy" , well he just don't think so.

Tony.....I'm at a loss.
If a garment "protected" you 1% "more" (than a similar garment without the technology) and you had no issues with paying $30 for that 1%......(remember the "Why do you buy a new bow every year" thread).....
Where's the "issue"?

You guys kill me.....lol.
You're making the assumption that people like Duke take chances with their scent control regimen based on what they choose to wear to field.
Knowing Duke....that's a HUGE false assumption. (HUGE)
He's doing everything you're doing (likely MORE) and this is just "a" piece of the regimen.
He's not "forgetting the wind" and "just hunting"......and most people I know who use this stuff.....aren't. either.
Tony the 1% was a random number. I don't know what that $30 buys me. But if I'm willing to pay that for (______%).....where's the issue?
