holzaugeWarm weather charcoal clothing?
I'm going to hunt with a crossbow for the first time this October. It will be my first archery hunting in @35 yr.s. Something occured to me getting my gear out and packed. I've only had about 5 down-wind shots with a gun out of 60+ kills. Two of them were last year using the Scent-lock so I'm sold on the concept but...It's going to still be pretty warm here on 2 October and the Scent-lock liners I was so pleased with last season will be way too warm to wear. Do you warm weather hunters use something like Scent-lock when in the heat? What about the stuff with silver woven in? Any recommendations?

bo-n-aroNot trying to start anything BUT......... Lets call a spade a spade and say you are hunting with a cross bow and NOT "archery" hunting with a cross bow.....
I use Contain brand clothing. Its a light weight, Coolmax material that works as well as the heavy carbon cloths. New on the market is Xscent, that is also lighter weight. The Contain comes in camo, so you can wear it by its self.
Nice stuff.

holzaugeThanks bo-n-aro,
I saw the contain in the Calela's catalog but didn't want to spend the money unless I could get input from someone who'd tried it.
