I'm most familiar with ScentBlocker apparrel.

I've purchased many products from ScentBlocker-gloves, masks, hats. Haven't gone to whole outfits...they're way too expensive.

My reasons for purchasing this brand were recommendation from numerous friends, brand recognition, advertising, and the garment styling and design.

I'm actually interested in all types of scent control/elimination!

Hope this helps!

I don't believe that anything I've tried has worked. I rely on the wind and live by my scentchecker bottle.

I have looked into all of them. I have had great success w/scent lok. The no trace is interesting, but limited fabric choices. I shy away from cotton in the cold wet north.

Scent control

Found a new product that help's to overcome ground disturbance. All the best scent's in the world can't work properly if you have to walk out to dispence it. What happens is called ground disturbance. Our big feet breaks twigs grasses and the like that create an invisible scent track that the monster bucks know very well. This is a paintball with scent that you fire with a paintball gun or shoot it with a wristrocket. No more ground disturbance that the big bucks pick up on. It's called Scent Burst and can be aqquired on E-Bay. Awesome product. Works for me.

Herd of em all, but I have always made my own cover scent. And always make sure my ap camo cloths are as scent free as possible. And shower with oderfree soap. Cant beleive in that high dollar cloths when I have hunted for over 20 years and had no problem getten up close and personal with the deer. My first 4-5 years of bow hunten I wore Levi's 501's and a camo shirt with no problem. I even have a mouth full of snuff while on stand and had deer come right up to my tree to get a taste.lol Its alot of hipe to sell poeple on all this stuff when it just takes know how to get that deer. Like these deer attractents(scents) they garuantee to get you a deer or your money back. I have yet to actually see any work except for Tinks 69 once out of 1,000's of hours on stands. I have drawn my deer in close with crushed nuts from the area I hunt or fruits that are there too. But the best thing is to study your deer patterns and travel routes. And place stands accordingly.

I believe they work....maybe not 100% of the time, but when im in the bottoms and the wind is swirling like crazy, and you still have deer on all sides of you without getting busted....id say it works...pretty sure i would have been busted without em...there are countless scenarios that i have been in that has made me a believer...

Have heard of them all..............

Have not purchased anything in over a year.......

When i bought scent loc I was niave' about how deer smell you........

Odor control does not kill mature deer, hunting smart, using the wind to your advantage and letting immature bucks walk will!

You cannot contain enough human scent through the use of clothing or sprays to fool a mature deers nose, you would need to be wrapped in a plastic bubble to do that........The whole scent killer hype is just that, hype............sorry to pee in your corn flakes but I don't believe anyone should waste thier hard earned money on scent blocking products.

ScentLok has advertised false claims to hunters. Here is a must read. http://www.trmichels.com/ActivatedC...rbonScience.htm

Lets hope other companies don’t do the same thing.

1. I am familiar with them all, yet I do not believe these products have any real value for the true bow hunter. Especially the carbon products. I advise people to do some objective research on carbon and carbon activation, you'll see it's garbage. No way possible that carbon suits work.

2. None of them. I use XGo and Sitka gear and feel that daily washing and daily cleanings in the backcountry is a must to merely help the onset of bacteria build up. There's nothing you can buy that will truely get rid of the majority of human ordor.

3. Objective research and attention to quality and value.

4. Silver and various anti-microbials.

I believe these products help when used properly. I'm sure they're not perfect, but when kept clean and scent free ,along with keeping your own body as scent free as possible, they might get you that extra 5 or 10 seconds you need to get a shot off. Just an opinion.
