ScentLok recommends washing their hunting apparel in a washing machine with cold water and a detergent that does not contain UV brighteners or fabric softeners. It is also important to dry the garments on low heat or air dry to prevent damage to the activated-carbon technology.
The activated-carbon materials in ScentLok apparel can last for multiple seasons, depending on use and proper care. ScentLok recommends replacing apparel every 3-5 years to ensure maximum effectiveness.
While not 100% effective, ScentLok's scent-control technology has been shown to reduce human scent detection by game animals. The effectiveness of the products can be improved by following proper care and use guidelines.
Ozone technology uses activated oxygen to eliminate odor molecules. The ScentLok Oz generates ozone and circulates it through an enclosed space such as a hunting blind or gear bag, neutralizing odor molecules and leaving gear scent-free.
Using scent-control products can reduce human scent detection by game animals, which can increase the chances of a successful hunt. By minimizing a hunter's scent footprint, animals are less likely to detect their presence and flee.
