I have the outfitter jacket. Not sure if carbon gear works but combined with the other odor eliminating technologies I have had tremendous success. I got my outfitter jacket for 1/2 off however (88 bucks) and for the price and the quality of that jacket I couldn't go wrong. It is really versatile, can be worn when it is 70 out or -20, with the removable liner (I know this from experience since I sat for 4 hours during some of the coldest hunting days we had last year). Has pockets in just the right place, the built in arm guard is nice for keeping the bulk down during late season bow hunts. Additionally, it has a few different systems built in to cover your neck, head and face that have the carbon in them, so it is like having a scent like headcover also. However, I am not sure I would drop 170 on it, but for the price I got it for I love it.
