I have been using the XStatic undergarments for the last couple of years along with a keep it clean and hunt the wind mindset. My success has increased significantly since getting away from the carbon clothing.

The last couple of carbon garments I purchased have a definite chemical smell to them. I hang them out in the air for a few days and the smell is fresh. I put them in an air tight Sterile tite container and the lining reeks of the chemical smell all over again.

I too, am not totally convinced on carbon clothing. All I know is that since I have stopped wearing it i having been getting close to a lot more deer.

- Brand name and at the time they seem to offer more Realtree patterns. Scent Loc seems more Mossy Oak related and are starting to get more into Realtree patterns.

4) What type of odor control are you most interested in?

- Antimicrobial

- Adsorption

I know my hygiene has to be good in order for any suit to work. Are they magic suits, heck no but any little odd that might help me get a shot at a booner buck is worth it. We spend countless hours on stand and live for hunting season and for some of us its hard to get to our stands as much as we like, so any little break that will help close the deal I want. I will spend all summer shooting that bow of mine so I know my aim is on, I don't want my hygiene or clothing to blow my chance. I want success this year and not think, "well there is always next year!!"

I have worn 2 kinds of scent control products. One was by X-Static and the other was by Scent IQ. Along with the H.S. Scent free spray I have yet to be busted down wind by a deer while spot stalking or in a treestand! I believe that with the scent control products and the antimicrobial clothes the deer dont stand a chance! This has happened SEVERAL TIMES cause of the property I hunt, I cant always hunt with the wind.

1) I am familiar with Scentlok, NoTrace, X-Static, and ScentBlocker.

2) I have purchased ScentBlocker camo in the past year.

3) I purchased the camo because it is a brand name, I got on clearance, it's performance is good, and the garment style and features were very good. Brand name means not a lot as long as you know it's there. If you've seen or heard of it performing well, then that's great. With any product out there you'll never completely eliminate human odor, so a garment that's fit and quality is good, along with great feature makes it a seller in my opinion.

4) I haven't done enough research to compare the abilities to more successfully block odor better and which scent blocking method holds up longer throughout the life of the clothing to make a decision. However, under extreme hunting conditions you may physically wear the clothing out before it's scent blocking longevity becomes an issue. Therefore, I'd say if it works well enough, then it doesn't matter.

I haven't bought any scent control clothing yet. I've had good luck with my own "scent control" system. If I were to buy a scent control suit, it would probably be ScentBlocker or ScentLok.

I am not 100% sure it works, but I do believe it helps to some degree. Proper care of garments and playing the wind along with some sort of personal scent control (scent free showers, etc...) also need to be a part of your preparation.

I've had both absorbant and anti-microbial, and believe the Anti-microbial ESPECIALLY as a base layer is tops from my experience. Add a Scent Lok/Blocker over top of that, and you may have the best of the best, but I personally vary my camo a lot, there for my outer gets varied a lot.
