Scent-control hunting apparel is essential for any serious hunter. It allows you to remain undetected by game animals, while decreasing the chance of alerting them of your presence.
Deer and other wildlife are adept at sniffing out human scent. To stay on their good side, use scent-eliminating products and store your hunting clothes in an anti-odor bag until it’s time to wear them.
Under Armour
Under Armour is a sports apparel company that designs, produces and markets performance clothing to athletes and active people. They offer products including men’s and women’s apparel, shoes and accessories; athletic ad campaigns targeted to specific audiences; its recent campaign featuring Team USA women’s gymnastics team is expected to garner over 3 million YouTube views alone!
UA’s inaugural product was a fitted sweat-wicking T-shirt developed for elite athletes. These shirts were meant to act like second skin layers, keeping athletes cool, dry, and light while staying within budget. Utilizing its proprietary HeatGear technology that regulates body temperature while also evaporating sweat, it comes in multiple styles including tights, tank tops, and shorts – offering maximum freedom and mobility during athletic competition.
Under Armour was launched into prominence thanks to its roster of world-class athletes such as NFL stars Ray Lewis and Cam Newton, gold medalist skier Lindsey Vonn, and MMA champ Georges St-Pierre. By 2010, its revenue had reached $1 billion – quadrupling over five years!

ScentBlocker

Bound to fabric of each garment, this material is engineered to absorb human scent molecules more effectively than activated carbon or zeolite – up to 40 percent more in testing results according to Robinson Outdoor Products!
Some hunters are so intent on eliminating their scent that they opt out of all forms of odor control altogether, however this strategy can backfire as deer that detect your body odor may flee and lose track of you, leading to missed opportunities and wasted time. As such, many hunters turn to scent control clothing brands which incorporate various technologies while offering other features for maximum comfort and performance.
Polygiene
Polygiene provides an antimicrobial solution that addresses this odor-causing combination by using low concentrations of silver chloride salt with antimicrobial properties in textile production processes, added during finishing stages to provide lasting odor control for life of product. Lab and field tests show its efficacy over time.
Polygiene’s StayFresh and OdorCrunch technologies, when integrated into clothing, footwear and gear, reduce odor by inhibiting bacteria and fungus growth, thus decreasing fabric washing needs while simultaneously cutting energy and water usage. Furthermore, their bluesign approval makes this an attractive option for hunters prioritizing sustainability when choosing base layers.
