To reactivate your ScentLok carbon clothing, place your gear in a household dryer and cycle on high heat for about 40 minutes. Bully Janesch Explainer. Who owns ScentLok? Robinson Outdoor Products.
Kiro Rohleff Explainer. Did ScentBlocker go out of business? Bankruptcy Court in the District of Minnesota. Robinson Outdoor is the parent company of the ScentBlocker brand of clothing and scent-eliminating products.
Ask A Question. If you were looking for any further proof that carbon isn't the most perfect companion for hunting's major scent-blocking manufacturers, you can find it in a recent change in approach. What's the change? For two major players, it's been evolving beyond carbon-activated technology.
In January, Robinson Outdoors announced a revolutionary new technology they call Trinity. This new synthetic technology has been engineered using a special polymeric resin that the company claims "leapfrogs the odor-adsorption capacity of ScentBlocker's own industry-leading Cold Fusion activated carbon technology. Robinson is calling this a "maturation" away from a very effective technology into a superior scent-blocking fabric, but challengers are pointing the finger at the manufacturer for moving away from the core of what started their clothing business.
This new gear comes on the heels of Under Armour 's major splash into the scent-blocking pool last year. UA introduced a new line and its own new synthetic technology with an aggressive marketing blitz and a flood of fanfare. Zeolite, a synthetic material structured to accept only human odor molecules, is at the core of their clothing.
Of course, UA experts have their opinion on carbon. In as little as five washes, it is only 50 percent effective and cannot be recharged due to its organic structure," says Koby Fulks, UA's senior hunting marketing manager. Carbon does not inhibit the growth of bacteria.
Shultz touts Robinson's synthetic challenger as even better, and, more importantly, he says, they offer a superior testing process. Does that sound like over-the-top rocket science compared to a walnut hull? Well, it really is. Another twist in a story fit for a soap opera.
For now, it seems we can let the carbon argument fade away; we've got more groundbreaking science to examine and likely a new challenge for skeptical deer hunters everywhere. Looks like we'll find out soon enough what we've all learned from the great carbon debate. Hunters, start your testing.

Okay, I'm done, you just can't explain to some. As Newt Sterling says. Some deerhunters will buy anything. Here is what you do. Go home and drink the Twelve pack and eat the two cans of chilli instead of the usual Post Beer Feast.
Next morning wake up and go to your local sporting goods store and put on the best damn Scent Suit they have. Proceed to rip azz in the dressing room and let me know how well the activated carbon works at containing scent P.
