Scent blocker vs. Scent lok
The sport of hunting has evolved tremendously over the last few years. The industry is booming with new technology in gear. Any serious hunter who is looking to be successful has to have the best of the best. The top two best selling camo lines in scent control are Scent-Blocker's Scent Shield along with Scent-lok. They both claim to be the most effective camo wear on the market, but there can only be one. Lets break it down and look at the science behind these two companies. Scent lok suits do exactly as their name proclaims, it locks your scent. The carbon material is suppose to be kept in a scent free container and locks the scent of the container. You are suppose to fill the container with a scent killing substance of your choice, and the carbon does the rest. The carbon locks the scent of the eliminating substance. In theory this would eliminate the hunter's scent in the field, but theres a few things wrong with this claim. If you go anywhere but the field upon removing the clothes, they are locking the scent of the air. Say you get dressed for a hunt and get into a vehicle, the carbon is now locking the scent of the vehicle. In order for scent lok's claim to be correct, a hunter would have to take the container to the field and get dressed there. This would not be comfortable in winter weather hunts. Although the technology is there, the idea is not practical. Robinson Outdoors Scent-Blocker Scent Shield has the best name in the industry. Like Scent-lok these suits are carbon activated, but each article of clothing comes with antimicrobial technology which inhibits the growth of odor causing bacteria. So not only does this suit lock the smell of scent killing substances, but the suit itself kills off human odor and prevents the growth of bacteria. Scent blocker has the best technology in the game, thus making their line of camo the most effective in the industry. See you in the woods.
