Illinois Hunters Sue Scent Lok

[T.R. Michels]

Illinois Hunters are suing Scent Lok. You can read the entire complaint here: http://www.trmichels.com/ScentLokIllinoisSuite.htm. 


What is particularly interesting is Section G & Section H, which specify why and how ALS/Scent Lok defrauded its customers.

I originally stated all of the facts on my web site, and they are still there.

The lawyers have contacted me about why and how activated carbon CAN'T WORK as Scent Lok claims, and I've told them, and helped them with the complaint.

I'm just trying to save you guys some of you "hard earned money".


God bless and good hunting,

T.R.

The original link was wrong, I corrected it in the first post. It even works.

i own scent-lok

sounds to me someone didnt  store their scent lok  the right way and now they want a refund    here is the way you are suppose to  care for it




Storage and care of activated carbon garments is critical to its success. Immediately after any garment is taken out of the dryer, it is to go in a carbon lined bag, heavy plastic bag, or in an airtight plastic tub. Do not use scent wafers or any type of scent in the container with the suit. The idea is to be totally scent free. It is very important that the garments stay in the airtight container until used in the field, and be returned to the container as soon as they are out of the woods before getting into your vehicle. Do not wear the suit while driving, getting gas, at home, in a restaurant, or anyplace where it can pick up foreign odors. It is OK to use scent eliminator sprays prior to going afield, but it is definitely not needed.

It sounds to me that Scent Lok was covering there a$$ when they wrote up that proper storage statement. Why would you need to go through all of that hassle if the product really worked? That statement is right on the money for storing your hunting clothes but no different if its Scent Lok or non Scent Lok.

If I'm going to spend the extra money for something like Scent Lok, I should not have to care for my clothing the same way others do with non Scent lok products........ That statement would work for any type of hunting clothing.

I don't believe the stuff works as they say it does and would never buy there product unless i found them on clearance and it was the same price as normal gear.

Do they make this type of clothing for women or is it marketed towards guys only?

[rchaze60]

they got  it for you women too

[Cody Gruchow]

i bought it because i liked it, (and it was on clearance) but i like it alot, now i know no matter what you do you can not be 100% scent free, and i didnt beleive the ad's when they said no more scent, i do take care of my normal hunting gear the same way i do my scent lok, from the dryer they go straight into a scent free bag thats air tight and then i put them in a plastic storage bin. i mean the people who pay for these things right before hunting season starts are paying 250+ dollars just for the pants, thats ridiculous. if you can afford it i say go for it, but if not and you dont take care of them the way you should. i say its your fault and no one elses.

My camo is twenty plus years old. I wash it in regular laundry detergent, store it wherever, spray a little Scent Killer on it and I am good to go. I see lots of deer and only a few bust me because of smell. But I like it that way, keep things challenging for me.

I never believed in the Scent Lok products and will never buy any it.

[CampYJewel]

Dang, I was hoping they only made it for men because we all know women don't smell so we really dont need it..

I dont store my clothes in bins either, I dont use special laundry detergent, deodorant or anything like that. I wash my clothes at the beginning of the season and generally only wash them if they get bloody or real dirty. I stop for gas, eat lunch in them and everything else.

Iv'e taken deer in my work uniform after a long day of work and no shower, sat in my stand with a bow or shotgun and haven't been caught that many times.

I usually spray my clothing with scent killer in the morning and thats about it.

I think a lot of it depends on where you are hunting.  Where I hunt my mom and dad have deer in their yard right next to the house on a regular basis.  I've never had a problem with these deer smelling me.  If anything they will see me in my stand and start to get a little nervous, but they still don't always run away.  If you are hunting in an area where there is maybe not so much human contact the scent would be a bigger factor.
