As I stated at Cabela's I don't care or belive in it (yea, I know, my boots) but if you belive in it and it makes you confident then go ahead and purchase it. I know too many smokers that kill lots of (and big) animals. They are confident in their skills and that is a big part of success.
Confidence is key. If a pink jig works and you don't feel good about tossing a black one you will not be confident and ready when the float goes down.

serious guys. I know there are some guys that use the spray and all the other crap like the gum, or socks what about the lotions and special wipes. not just the suits or jackets, but yes if you have a good situation with a jacket then tell.....

If you only want to hear from the people who like it whats the point? Your already sold on the stuff, just buy it and use it.

I saw an article a while back where scent lock was getting sued for false advertising. I wouldn't drop a dime on the stuff, I think its a scam.
I guess I don't have anything good to say :)
Took the words right out of my mouth. Don't waste your money.

Underarmour is another big one....it may have usefulness though. I don't like the feel of it, so probably won't step into that revolution either.
SLIDER was a 100% accurate with that analogy. WELL SAID.

I think it is the greatest. I follow all the recomendations and am more aware of scent than before.
I tend to move more than the average hunter (of course now I have compared myself and will get mass arguments over who is in better shape!!!!) --sarcasim--
It is not intended to remove scent, but help control it. After a morning hunt, I can unzip my coat and smell what I had for breakfast, if I hugged the wife goodbye, if I had been near any fire, --you get the point.
All I know is after I started using it, I have killed 6 bulls in rifle season at less than 20 yards, 4 never knew I was there. I have had many deer and elk walk right by me and not wind me or get by me and then get a hit of something and run right back by me.
The more I use it, the more aware I am of scent and how I need to change my tactics.
Its not in my mind but my nose!!!
I prefer everyone to not use it so I can have an advantage. So save your money! Now everyone can trash me --- Sarcasim ;)

I'm not tryin to trash anyone (or product) here.... just trying to present an objective view on the subject. Also, wasn't Scent-Lok being sued at 1 point for all this?
1. Stay Downwind
2. Stay Clean and avoid unnatural scents
3. Cover/Scent eliminators
Post by: workstohunt on April 10, 2008, 09:03:21 AM
The point is it works for me because I do hunt harder than most. It gives me the advantage I need. I sweat hard and if it isnt sealed up, yes you will smell me. I don't need any reasearch statistics other than my own sucess.
Now begin the I'm a better hunter than you are stories
Post by: Alchase on April 10, 2008, 01:22:15 PM
As for scent, with the wind right you need not worry. I have had both deer and elk walk within a couple feet of me while I was smoking! Of course as soon as I moved or they passed me they busted, LOL
Bone, I agree with you about under armor. I do not care for the tight stuff, though I do use the Nike polyester version shirts that fits loosely. I find the older I get the more I seem to sweet and need clothes that breath really well.
Post by: Coasthunterjay on April 10, 2008, 02:56:54 PM
Not for aggressive hunting, only for passive.
Its sounds like alot of people arent fully understanding the full functionality of this stuff. Or maybe over abusing it. You still have to clean yourself. and it is good for a limited time each time, maybe for 9 hours or so of continued use. And from what i have researched and heard. the carbon stuff that is in the suits can be reactivated, or as it is sort of stated, re-energized. to reactivate them you put them in the dryer or in the microwave for a limited amount of time. and then it is good. you are then suppose to put it in a sealable container and take it to your spot were you use it.
This stuff doesnt stop you from stinking, it just slows down and restricts the amount of stink that you are weaping out of the suit. i have used it, i do have it, and i believe it does work to a minimum. And to you all and for myself i think any small advantage that i can have above the next hunter next to me counts.
Post by: workstohunt on April 10, 2008, 03:22:21 PM
I don't care what people read about it
I don't care what if someone had an elk run by them while smoking
You can all argue anything that is said on this site.
It works for me!
Now you can argue it doesn't work for me, I'm using it wrong, it's in my mind, I'm sure someone can come up with something I haven't even thought of. Today is the 10th ( had to give you something to argue about tomorrow :chuckle:

I have a jacket but don't wear it because it's uncomfortable. My favorite tactic is to rub natural scent on myself, Pine Boughs, Sage, Step in cow crap...whatever it takes to help cover my stink. I don't use scent eliminator, i use cover scents. I suppose they sell things that smell better than cow $hit, but I'm too cheap to buy it.
yeah i do that to , but i am always looking for a one up that i can get on any situation....
And my jacket i have is really comfortable, granted it was really expensive, but i like it. The one i have is sort of a cold jacket. So it is really hard to hike in it anyways and then be ok after sweeting in it and sit in the cold. so i hike with out it and then rap it on when i get to my spot. works and most the time i have some other type of camo on my upper half so i see no use in using it while im on the move....
Im looking for a lighter jacket something that i can wear when it is a little cold but not cold enough to wear my other jacket. ill probably get another scentlok jacket...
Post by: BlackTail on April 11, 2008, 11:24:44 AM
To re-activate carbon it needs to be heated to over a 1000 degrees Fahrenheit in a low oxygen environment, which means you could throw that scent-lok coat in the campfire and it's not going to get reactivated. Definitely not happening in a dryer or microwave. It's a hoax, plain and simple!

You might want to watch the zipper of the jacket when ou stick it into the microwave.

you hit the nail on the head. The science just does not add up as advertised. Just like all those "millions" of gallons of "Doe" urine sold every year that is one hell of alot of does in heat just in time for packaging. The number just do not work.

Look at drug dogs and how minute drug odors are, yet they smell them every time, even when they are heavily packaged in all sorts of plastic, foil and coffee.
Deer and elk have noses similar to dogs. Do you really think you can fool them with some expensive spray on spritzer or by wearing a charcoal suit????? All the scent crap on the market is a huge kick in the ass (not to mention wallet!) from scent manufacturers to ignorant sportsmen.
How do you get the human scent out of your breath, your nose, your butt crack, your boots, your scalp etc. Yeah sure, some of it works and helps us smell better to OUR weak sense of smell, but you CAN'T cover up your scent no matter what you do.
I don't care what you wear or what you spray on your clothes, person, or gear...., if you don't properly hunt the wind, you are going to get busted by game.

I need to buy me a monster buck /bull and drag my coat through his pee before I go hunting.
Wait, if I own a herd of farm raised deer or elk, why would I need to hunt for them?
:dunno:
