I don't think the scent eliminating clothing works quite as well as it's been advertised. I think it does eliminate some human odor, but not all of it.
The other problem I have with it is the stuff is just so freaking expensive, especially for a 305 pound little guy like myself. ;D I think it's OK if you don't hunt that much, but I spend so much time in the woods that I'd have to buy a new suit every year.
I wash my hunting clothes six or seven times a season between the start of archery in October and the end of flintlock in January. I heavily use Scent Killer Spray in between washes. This system has worked pretty well at keeping me from getting busted.

been using sent-lok for years. and wouldn't get caught out without it. still use the sprays and some cover but overall have no trouble getting close. with the scent-lok you have to be careful when you handle it. just like any other clothes they will pick up odors from outside sources

This system has worked pretty well at keeping me from getting busted. i never used it in over 33 years of hunting and sure i got busted along the way, but it was more because i messed up and moved to fast or stood up at the wrong time' more then it was a scent problem. for me its not worth buying, i don't buy or use camo clothes either because in all my years of hunting i never had much need for it. btw...for the most part i am a ground hunter, this past year was my first time in many years to hunt from a tree.

i even use the dryer sheets in earth scent, only i do not put them in the dryer...lol put the whole pack in with the clothes i plan to wear hunting in a garbage bag and let them hang over nght, whewwwwwww. i smell like i was rolling around in the woods for a week then i use them, the earth scent spray and wear the earth scent wafers on my hat, jacket and both legs by the knee's. i learned a long time ago that camo is not needed because if you beat there nose and make no quick movements you can get just as many deer as someone who wears all the costly clothing in the world.

never used it and have taken my share of deer some of them have come towards me with the wind off my back and as close as 10 yards, don't feel that it is worth the money.

I would like someone that uses scent-lok clothes to explain how they can handle this suit while putting it on and still consider themselves to be scent free , it seems to me human scent would be all over it before you get dressed. JMO it may help with containing scent dispersal after you are on stand , but it seems there will be more than enough human scent on the outside for a whitetail to pick it up.
