Scent lok or x-scent clothing do you believe in their claims?

[laker1]

I know the clothing is awful expensive. Anybody use it. I have the scent lok jacket and is well made and comfortable,but the locking up scent I wonder about it. I know some studies say it does not work.

[goblueM]

it doesnt hurt... but mythbusters and field and stream definitively proved that it doesn't offer substantial improvement over non-scent-lok clothing.

Police dogs can find guys totally scent-locked in the same amount of time as guys that are super smelly

I don't believe the claims for one second. Use the wind to your favor and just accept, that on occasion, a deer will catch wind of you. Just hope it isn't the monster you are pursuing.

I think it might help, but as far as the $ goes def. not worth it IMO. Your better off playing the wind with a little cover sent and having multiple stand options.

The technology works in theory, and I'd say it does work to keep scent in, but it's certainly not perfect. It's essentially no different than the chemical suits the military used to (and might still) use. If it can keep chemicals out, it can keep them in too, and scent is just a chemical.

I bought a set of Scent Lok this year and have been nothing but impressed. With that said I beleive it is only a tool in the scent process. I still take a no scent shower and wear scent washed clothing underneath. I have taken a buck and two does this year wearing the clothing. Every one was down wind of me within 20 yards at one point or another and did not have a clue.

Is it worth the money? IMO... yes. Is it foolproof... no. It is a great tool in a hunters arsenal, just one more thing you can do to disapear. Can't hurt.

I had a Chemical warfare suit from an army surplus store that worked great. Was way cheaper than scent-lok or any of the major brands. Wish I could find something similar again

I have a scent lok outfit and the jury is still out for me. I guess I don't see any huge difference from before I wore scent lok. I haven't been busted yet but I make sure to play the wind when I hunt I believe that will always be the ticket. I mostly bought a parka and bibs with scent lok because it was the best piece of clothing in other aspects as well. Included Gore-Tex and Thinsulate as far as some other features that I really liked. I believe when I bought it (after the season) it was actually priced less than the non-scent lok clothing.

Use it and like it. It is not fail proof. I have more deer bust my trail where I walk in than wind me from the stand. I am not as sold on the scent elimination aspect as I used to be. Too much scientific information saying that it just doesn't work as well as they claim. However, I already have it and I will only buy more after the season when its on clearance. Its probably more of a mental thing for me now. I am playing the wind a lot more than I used to after reading all the findings. I don't feel that like I would need it, or that it gives me some great advantage, but it might help just a little bit, and that is good enough for me.

Just bought a pair of scentlok pants Friday, not because I believe they make you scent free, but because they were over $100 off, originally marked at $179.99, got them for $74 at Gander in E.P., they still had a few pairs left, they are the vertigo pattern. Washed them in scent free and wore them out last night. If nothing else I can say that they are very comfortable, breatheable, and warm. I like em.

[sticknstring]

Nope!

Farley, Just a heads up there is no need to wash them. You just need to activate them in the drier. They will last longer that way. At least that is what they claim on their HSOforum.
