Scentlok is so firmly entrenched in the market will I wonder if people will even pay attention to the "change" on the tags?

I doubt it and besides, those who believe in carbon technology will continue to buy/use it and those who never did, will continue to point fingers and say "I told you so".

Ive been outta the loop for a little while, I knew about the lawsuit but not of the findings.... Does scentlok do anything for sent control in the woods? Did I waste my money?

For the price it better be "odor-eliminating technology"

Ok guys... here it is... Th injunction talks about anything that says "all" or "eliminating", refering to human odor. It also refers to the claim that drying the clothing can return it to new condition... All that will come of this is new phrasing... If you were naive enough to believe that anything could eliminate all of human scent, you probably shouldn't be considering anyhting with technology in it. However carbon technology does trap scent, or filter it. Now with that being said it will not stop all of the scent but some/most of it. Also as far a regenerating your product, the dryer does reactivate it but doesnt get the previous scent out; that is what washing is for... in my opinion this lawsuit is a complete joke, and people need to get a life... As I see it this is how scent-lok and all other carbon suits work. Without any kind of carbon clothing on, say a deer smells you from 10 yards away. He is going to know you are 10 yards away from the amout of scent he is picking up. However with a carbon suit on the same deer smells you at 10 yards away, he is going to pick up such small traces of scent he will think you are 100+yards away... As of now I will continue to use my scent-blocker and scent-lok products...

How ever did our forefathers kill game with out scent-lok! It must of been next to impossible. I think my grand-pappy once said they actually watched and paid attention to what the animal did, and I think it was called "Hunting"?
Come on guys, hunters did just fine before scent-lok and they will be just fine after it. To think that someone actually thought that scent-lok would cover ALL their body odor, despite them humping into the woods with all their gear, sweating it up as they walk to the stand, or god forbid decide to stalk the game while their upwind of it is a moron and probably thinks sighting their rifle in once a year the week before deer season is "good enough".

SB, I've been waiting for the other foot to drop. Exofficio, a high end textile company, claims to have sportsmen's interest at heart. Or is it their wallets?

Their iconic "Buzz Off" clothing line is touting outdoor wear with insect repellent qualitites. Sure, I fell for it. Nylon, quick dry fishing shirts, pants, shorts, hats...you name it, they got it.

But what is it they "got?" The tags claim the repellent will not leave the fabric, even with frequent wash/dry.

As I said, this stuff is expensive. I can get it for pennies on the dollar from Sierra Trading Outpost, Cody, WY.

What do you know of this brand, Exofficio? Buzz Off is their registered trademark. Anybody out there heard about the legitimacy of their claims? Scott, how 'bout you?

I have always been told to stay away from the words
"always, never, all, positivity , absoluty " That is what they are really saying about their product. Like a statement in court that the judge tells the jury to forget they they heard, people have heard Scent-Loc make the statements and they will always remember that. This will make no difference what so ever in my opinion in the sales of the product. I never fell for the product to start with.

I think whitetail hunters and bass fishermen will buy most anything that promises success, real or imagined!

I read an interview with a guy who owns a tree stand company and he said he couldn't count all the times he's had to put out a cigarette to shoot a deer...... says you want to be 30 feet up.

First, just to get it out of the way, false advertising isn't right and it's bad business besides. But whatever happened to "caveat emptor?" Or for that matter, "a fool and his money are soon parted?" I figured out a long, long time ago, before anyone was marketing space age no-scent suits, that there's nothing you can do to keep a deer from smelling you but stay downwind. My wife asked me recently if cover scents work, and I told her that you could bathe in skunk musk and if you stood upwind of a deer he would snap his head up, and think to himself (if deer could think), "By golly, I think I smell a skunk near where that human is reeking."
If buying charcoal-lined clothing makes someone more confident then it might actually do them some good, but if anyone ever thought they could fool a deer's nose by anything short of sawing his nose off, then they probably deserved to be fleeced. Is it really necessary to involve a battery of lawyers mucking things up and driving up the cost of everything we buy because somebody was so gullible as to think this junk would work? Just laugh it off, chalk it up to experience and move on.

The anti-hunting groups are loving this -- hunters fighting supporters of hunting. I believe the biggest false claim that will surface from all of this is Betul's statement that none of the hunters that brought this suit have anything to gain.
