The debate over the activated carbon advantage in hunting clothing is still making noise in many hunting circles. I've heard the opinions of both sides, from those who contend that it is just a gimmick attributing hunting success to methods like hunting the wind. I have also used this product and found it to be effective in scent control, in fact over the course of 6 days during this archery season I saw 4 deer walk with in 15 yards before they saw me and bolted away. A week later I also saw three more that walked with in 20 yards of my stand when the rut was in full swing.
Thanks to Scent-Lok now you can wear your activated carbon scent control system next to the skin with the new Base Slayers top and bottoms from Scent-Lok. The idea of cover scent has moved from layering over your other clothes to a bottom layer of carbon activated protection that shields the most offensive odor 'body odor' right where it starts on the body. Then add a preventative microbial technology which stops the growth of these odor causing bacterial to the mix of comfort stretch, a flexible polyester material and an excellent wicking property to the odor absorbing carbon and you have a new odor shield that could make you invisible to a deer’s nose.
This product has proven to me that scent control is just as important as hunting the wind. The deer I've seen in pre season while wearing the Base Slayers have not startled at all to my scent and only left when I moved to reveal my position in front of them. I was lucky enough to see two does being pursued by a buck for a few fleeting moments while the rut was in full swing the following week as well. They never knew I was there. Not once did any of them even glance my way.
Order Base Layers top and bottom by size and inseam for the perfect fit. After 40 hours of field use Scent-Lok recommends washing Base Slayers then drying for 30 minutes to reactivate the carbon absorption.
The question of using scent control in my hunt has been answered. I have no doubt that this product gives me an edge that other hunters do not have, unless of course they are also wearing Base Slayers by Scent-Lok. With the arrival of the new Scent-Lok technology in Base Layers top and bottoms the debate about scent control is officially over!
