Analysis of odor-management products intended for hunting

“FORGET THE WIND.
JUST HUNT."

We know that animals have a more keen sense of smell than humans, and there is a market of products targeting hunters who wish to ‘mask’ their scent in order to get as close as possible to their prey without being detected.

This post neither endorses or discredits the benefits of these products, but only wish to present them to body odor sufferers with as thorough a description of their ingredients as available to us. This post will focus on the products on sale on the scentblocker.com website. It would be interesting to see if the concentration of the active ingredients in any of these products is strong enough for any type of uncontrollably strong body odor, and particularly a metabolic body odor.

It would be beneficial to the BO community if anyone who does try any of these products write a comment about their experience by clicking on the ‘Comment’ icon at the bottom of this post, and letting us know if it is potent enough to remove an uncontrollably strong body odor.

Robinson Outdoors almost single-handedly invented the category of scent elimination in the hunting industry back in 1985 with the development of Scent Shield ®. This was the very first product of its kind, intended to prevent deer and other big game from smelling human odor given off by hunters.

Since that introduction years ago, Robinson Outdoors has consistently led the way in scent eliminating innovation. New products were developed to help hunters get clean and stay scent-free. Products like Scent Shield® Clothes Wash and Body Soap were not just fragrance- free formulas; they contain ingredients that prevent the formation of odor in the first place.

These are some of the Scent Shield® products with a brief description of their ingredients. Anyone wishing to try these products is encouraged to write the manufacturer for additional information if concerned.
