How many scent-related fads have come and gone? Activated charcoal, then everything was embedded or lined with silver threads. This is another with just enough "science" attached to convince people to spend money.

I don’t use it or own stock in the company, just that the particular science attached to this one is pretty interesting and may make you a better hunter to understand it, as opposed to the complete bullshite that’s usually trotted out like these clothes give you a fkn EMP shield. Every once in awhile one will touch on something that’s useful, in this case that deer convey info to one another about danger or the lack thereof through scent as much or more than blowing or flagging. UV brighteners in most household detergents have been proven to make you contrast against a backdrop and easier for a deer to spot. You don’t need the $30/gal bottle of detergent with a deer on it or a bottle of “UV Killer” spray, you just buy the cheap “free and clear” stuff that doesn’t have brighteners added, and wash your hunting clothes in that.
