Why do Georgia bow hunters want Scentlok to improve their deer hunting?

As human scent is exposed to the Scent-Lok fabric it is drawn into the pore structure of the activated carbon. Activated carbon has millions of microscopic pores, cracks and crevices which attract the scent particles and create a bond within the carbon. These particles are trapped while air is allowed to breathe through the fabric. This process is called ADSORPTION.

Activated carbon is the most adsorptive substance known to man. It has been proven time and again to be the most effective system for filtering odors. Scent-Lok has been designed specifically for controlling human odor. We use coconut shell carbon which is best suited for adsorbing human scent.

Scent-Lok products have the capacity to adsorb human odor for approximately 40 hours of field use. Once the garments have reached that time, they are “desorbed” in the dryer. Once the temperature reaches 150 degrees for 30-40 minutes, the capacity has been restored to adsorb odors again.

Comfort is a critical part of a good fabric for hunting. Scent-Lok fabrics are treated with a moisture wicking agent called ClimaFlex™. It wicks moisture away from the skin, making hunters warmer in cold weather and cooler on hot days in the field.

The wicking treatment also spreads perspiration over a larger surface area, so that scent-adsorption is also improved. Human oil is also repelled by this treatment and makes the washing performance better by not allowing human contaminants to permanently bond to the fabric.
