Abstract
An article of clothing adapted to be worn by a person has an odor absorbing substance incorporated therein. The odor absorbing substance absorbs odors emitting from that portion of the person which is substantially surrounded by the clothing. Reduction of odors emitting from a person wearing the article of clothing will help to avoid detection of the wearer of the article of clothing by many species of wildlife having an acute sense of smell.
Claims74
An article of clothing adapted to cover at least a portion of at least one of the torso, the waist and the head of a person wearing said article of clothing, the article being air permeable and comprising:
- activated charcoal incorporated into the article of clothing wherein the activated charcoal is susceptible to reactivation through the act of washing and drying the article of clothing;
- at least one of a bright, highly visible color scheme and camouflage color scheme provided on an exterior surface of said article of clothing;
- and
- the article of clothing being abrasion resistant;
- whereby the activated charcoal absorbs at least a portion of the odors emanating from the wearer of said article of clothing thereby reducing the chances of wildlife detecting the wearer through the sense of smell.
A system for reducing human odors while hunting wildlife comprising:
- a first article of clothing adapted to cover one of the torso region and groin region of a person wearing said article of clothing, said first article of clothing being air permeable and incorporating activated charcoal in an amount sufficient to reduce the naturally occurring body odors of a person wearing said article of clothing;
- and
- a second article of clothing being air permeable and incorporating activated charcoal in an amount sufficient to reduce the naturally occurring body odors of a person wearing said article of clothing;
- wherein the activated charcoal of the first and second articles of clothing, when worn by an individual, combine to reduce the odors emanating from the wearer in an amount sufficient to reduce the chance of detection of the wearer by wildlife having an acute sense of smell thereby permitting the wearer to be in close proximity to the wildlife.

- activated charcoal incorporated into the article of clothing wherein the activated charcoal is susceptible to reactivation through the act of drying the article of clothing;
- at least one of a bright, highly visible color scheme and camouflage color scheme provided on an exterior surface of said article of clothing;
- and
- the article of clothing being abrasion resistant;
- whereby the activated charcoal absorbs a sufficient amount of the odors emanating from the wearer of said article of clothing so that the wearer may be in close proximity to the wildlife without the wildlife detecting the wearer through the sense of smell.
A system for reducing human odors while hunting wildlife comprising:
- a first article of clothing adapted to cover one of the torso region and groin region of a person wearing the first article of clothing,
- the first article of clothing being air permeable and incorporating activated charcoal in an amount sufficient to reduce the naturally occurring body odors of a person wearing said article of clothing,
- the activated charcoal being susceptible to reactivation through the act of washing and drying the first article of clothing, and
- at least one of a bright, highly visible color scheme and camouflage color scheme provided on an exterior surface of said first article of clothing;
- and
- a second article of clothing being air permeable and incorporating activated charcoal in an amount sufficient to reduce the naturally occurring body odors of a person wearing said second article of clothing;
- wherein the activated charcoal of the first and second articles of clothing, when worn by an individual, combine to reduce the odors emanating from the wearer in an amount sufficient to reduce the chance of detection of the wearer by wildlife having an acute sense of smell thereby permitting the wearer to be in close proximity to the wildlife.

- activated charcoal incorporated into the article of clothing, whereby the activated charcoal absorbs at least a portion of the odors emanating from the wearer of said article of clothing thereby reducing the chances of wildlife detecting the wearer through the sense of smell;
- wherein the activated charcoal is susceptible to reactivation through the act of washing and drying the article of clothing;
- wherein the article of clothing comprises a base layer and the activated charcoal is impregnated into the base layer;
- at least one of a bright, highly visible color scheme and camouflage color scheme provided on an exterior surface of said article of clothing;
