    My opinion is that I don't care what other people's opinions are when it comes to the gear I use. I don't let other people's OPINIONS sway my decisions, I'd rather make them myself. If I feel that it works for me and helps me with the way I hunt, I will use it. If not, I won't. Pretty simple concept.

    I think it helps but I don't think it eliminate's your scent. It's just another tool in the game.

    I wear it at times. I used to always wear it, every hunt. I only have two suits with a scent lok lining now.

    I don't use it, but I do use the shampoos, laundry detergent, bags, sprays, etc. Do they all work? I'm sure to an extent they do. Nothing is 100%, and nothing is predictable when hunting, but if every little bit helps (like PT and Jeff said, it CAN'T hurt), go for it. Again, this sport should be about doing what YOU want, for YOU and no one else.

    Ohhh trust me I do what I want, I actually like to be a little different then everyone I know. I just was curious as to how other peoples thought on the products are? I actually had a few people recently tell me that they wouldnt hunt without it, and was just blown away by there thoughts, has it changed my opinion on the product no I just wanted to see what everyone else thought!

    Although if anyone can find a good deal for the leftover Realtree Roadtrips camo hook a brother up because I am definately a fan of the outfit! That is based solely on the design of the garment.

    Thanks again all for the honest answers provided so far!

    I would also like to add that anything that makes you more confident is already a success in the woods.

    I don't care what you wear. Nothing and I mean nothing is going to cover up that smelly bear camp ass smell.

    I like and use the Silver Ion clothing as my base layer. Scent-Lok can and does work, not 100%, but it DOES work to some extent. I have a military chem-suit (where scent-lok came from) and it serves two purposes... 1. IT'S WARM, and 2. IT still absorbs some scent..... For me the Silver Ion clothing is the best of both worlds, you can buy it fairly cheap, and as a base layer, the stuff I have is comparable to Under Armour, only controls odor a bit. Beyond all of that though, I believe the BIGGEST offender of getting us busted is our MOUTHS hands down!!!! Which is why I ALWAYS wear a facemask, may be very light, may be medium or heavier, but I ALWAYS wear one!!!

    I don't currently own any. I may pickup some base layers at some point, but that's not solely based on scent control. I lean towards the system MGH says he uses. I wash, clean, and store my gear in the most non contaminating way that I can. I try to hunt smart with the wind and the rest is unknown.

    I wear it because I get a killer deal on it. If nothing else, it is well made clothing. Does it help? I'd like to think so.

    I'm too lazy to use it the right way. I hunt too much to worry about showers, storage bags, scent sprays, etc. Half my season is 80 degree whether. I sweat like a w hore in church. For me, it seemed futile so I stopped using it.
