Remaining undetected while hunting is of utmost importance for hunters. They take steps to conceal their appearance while using scent control hunting clothing to conceal themselves further.
Some manufacturers use silver, combined with antimicrobial silver and synthetic zeolites, to kill bacteria and capture odor molecules. Others have integrated anti-odor technologies like Polygiene into their textiles for additional odor-control purposes.
Under Armour
Under Armour has applied many of the same technologies used in their sportswear to their hunting clothing for scent control, with their patented UA Scent Control technology making use of synthetic zeolites fused with silver to trap and suppress bacteria causing foul odors. Furthermore, their lightweight fabrics offer exceptional mobility – ideal for active hunters.
As opposed to carbon, which degrades over time with each wash cycle, UA Scent Control technology recharges each time garments featuring it are washed. You’ll know they have it as they will feature the green velocity logo.
UA Scent Control hunting gear offers solutions for hunters of all types and preferences. Utilizing ColdGear Infrared technology to keep you warm while their exclusive UA Scent Control keeps predators at bay, the Rut Scent Control Jacket and Pant are packed with features designed to maximize performance – an essential must-have for any serious hunter!
ScentBlocker
ScentBlocker is a widely recognized scent control brand among hunters and sportsmen, especially hunters looking to stay undetected by game. Their clothing features an innovative combination of zeolite, silver and activated carbon to neutralize human odors – an effective solution for hunters hoping to remain undetected by wildlife. Plus, products from ScentBlocker come at various price points to make them affordable to any hunter’s budget.
ScentBlocker garments use cold fusion technology to bond carbon molecules directly to fabric, creating an intricate web that looks similar to an invisible net with very small holes. When asked by scentlok engineers whether molecules of odor could potentially pass through, their response was “yes”. Carbon embedded hunting gear works well but requires frequent heat drying sessions for activation – something unsuitable for long backcountry expeditions. ScentBlocker makes scent-control gloves and hats which trap odors emitted from skin areas as well as having silver fiber hoods which kill bacteria responsible for sweat odor.
Stone Glacier
Stone Glacier stands out as an exceptional brand for cold-weather hunting gear, thanks to their technical “skin-to-shell” systems that perform exceptionally well in extreme mountain environments while remaining comfortable and concealed during long hunts. Furthermore, there is an array of camo patterns available from this company for hunters to select.
The Helio Hoody from Technical Apparel Group is an outstanding example of their technical apparel. Utilizing Polygiene Odor Control Technology and designed as both next-to-skin and midlayer protection, it makes an excellent layering system from early archery season through late season as a layering system.
De Havilland Lite pants are another favorite among backcountry hunters. Lighter than traditional pants, these moisture-wicking, side zip, contour waist system pants feature side YKK Vislon zippers to reduce pressure points when sitting in treestands or hybrid saddle stands, as well as built-in knee pads to alleviate discomfort in the saddle; plus they come equipped with built-in knee pads to ease saddle pressure points when sitting in treestands or hybrid saddle stands. In addition, De Havilland also provides lightweight rain protection through their lightweight rain jacket – offering backcountry hunters all weather protection while out hunting in the field!
Pnuma Outdoors
Pnuma Outdoors is a rapidly-expanding brand offering cutting-edge hunting gear. Their fabrics and designs feature quiet fabrics to allow hunters to move stealthily through whitetail habitat without creating noise that will alert deer.
Polygiene’s innovative dual-action scent control technology combines Polygiene Stay Fresh antimicrobial and Polygiene Odor Crunch odor elimination system – which stops bacteria from producing sweat that causes smelly odor – with camo patterns offering dual visual concealment through macro shape disruption and micro texturing techniques.
Pnuma’s IconX Heated Core line of jackets, shirts and pants features carbon-fiber heating elements which heat up quickly and distribute heat evenly with three levels of warmth. Rechargable batteries last six hours on low setting making this an excellent option for treestand or blind hunters.
