Hunters often employ extreme scent control measures while others do not worry much about it at all. Whatever approach is taken, however, it is vitally important that hunters remain aware of their attire when dressing or disrobing for hunting trips.
Before beginning your hunt, the first step should be to wash and air-dry all hunting apparel using an odor-eliminating soap, followed by spraying all gear with scent-killing spray.
Under Armour
Under Armour has long been a leader in athletic and hunting apparel since their founding in 1996. Their groundbreaking technology enables base layers to wick away sweat quickly, keeping hunters cool and dry. Their latest offering, UA Scent Control, utilizes synthetic zeolite and silver particles to combat odors effectively; their system lasts 10 times longer than activated carbon!
Men’s UA Timber pants feature Realtree EDGE camo and feature soft, yet durable fabric designed to reduce scent signature. Strategic insulation wicks sweat away to keep you comfortable during cold conditions while the 3-layer silent shell traps natural body heat for an undetectable experience.
This cap features Realtree EDGE camo and an American-themed design, complete with its iconic flag motif. The curved brim and structured build provide shape retention while HeatGear sweatband wicks moisture away to keep you cool and dry while Scent Control technology subdues any unpleasant odors so you can hunt with confidence without detection.
ScentBlocker
Nomad Outdoors utilizes silver ions in its S3 silver antimicrobial fabric to kill bacteria that feed on sweat and cause the telltale scent that game can detect; their clothes also feature light fabric finishes and moisture wicking properties for optimal performance on hunt day. Nomad Outdoors’ clothing also comes equipped with moisture wicking properties for enhanced performance on hunt days.
ScentBlocker offers an entire line of products designed to address scent-control challenges, from sprays that ozonate bacteria and molecules on clothing, boots and gear to the Ozone Gear Bag that deodorizes all your smelly equipment after every hunt. Experienced hunters know that effective odor control begins at home: regular washing with scent-free laundry detergent and deodorizing their gear after every use are key steps for successful odor management. Their Cold Fusion Trinity synthetic polymer fused directly into garments allows it to work where carbon cannot: technical fabrics that result in lighter weight more user-friendly attire.
Mountain Hardwear
Mountain Hardwear scent control hunting clothing lineup provides comfortable garments designed to reduce sweat odor while providing UV-blocking fabric protection from harmful rays. Furthermore, these garments allow excellent airflow.
Lightweight and versatile garments designed specifically to reduce scent. Perfect for mountain hunters. Though some may question its effectiveness, other hunters swear by them; many hunters praise its ability to reduce scent as much as products like ScentLok or DeerTech’s SMART do.
Mountain Hardwear garments advertised for their scent-blocking capabilities should not be purchased solely on that basis, since wind changes directions several times an hour in the mountains, rendering your scent invisible.
Cabela’s
SCENTINEL technology used in these men’s hunting pants stands apart from standard garments by trapping scent molecules on the surface instead of within its fabric, where embedded zeolite technology and antimicrobial silver work to stop bacteria growth that causes your scent signature from spreading further. Plus, their breathable fabric releases excess heat for maximum comfort!
Some hunters use deodorizing spray to reduce telltale human odors when travelling to their tree stand, or may smudge clothing and gear with deer droppings or skunk smell to mask their scent.
Cabela’s Hunter Pants feature durable 100% polyester fabric to trap body heat for extra comfort, featuring micro-fleece lined waistband and gusseted crotch for full range of motion, articulated elbows and contoured collar to add movement flexibility when drawing or aiming, plus zip left-hand pocket that doubles as stuff sack for transport; additionally an internal hem adjustment makes customizing fit easier than ever!
