ScentLok’s mid- and late-season accessories seal the head, face and hands

Mind the Gaps

ScentLok’s mid- and late-season accessories seal the head, face and hands with the same technology and performance found in its premium outerwear

MUSKEGON, Mich. (November 3, 2026) – A hunter who lays out a good amount of money for a scent control jacket and bibs is all in. He’s counting on that suit when a mature buck finally slips downwind of his stand.

Here’s the rub, pun fully intended. A suit covers the torso and legs. It doesn’t cover the head, where hair and scalp hang onto odor, or the face, where every breath rides the breeze. It doesn’t cover the hands either, and those touch the bow, the release, the rail and just about everything else in the stand.

Those are the weak spots in a hunter’s scent control armor. Leave them bare, and a premium suit is only doing part of its job.

That’s the thinking behind ScentLok’s complete-the-system approach to accessories. Every headcover, cap, beanie, glove and muff in the lineup carries Carbon Alloy^®, ScentLok’s proprietary blend of treated carbon, activated carbon and zeolite, built on coconut shell carbon for its enormous internal surface area. Each one also gets Silver Alloy™, which curbs odor-causing bacteria for the life of the garment.

Built To The Same Standard

Scent control is only half the equation, too. An accessory must live up to the quality and performance of the jacket and bibs it’s worn with. A hunter’s internal furnace can be roaring, but it matters little if his fingers are too stiff to feel a trigger or nock an arrow, his face has gone numb in the wind, or his ears are stinging from the cold.

So ScentLok builds its headwear, gloves and muffs with the same seriousness as its outerwear. That means real insulation, wind and water protection, quiet fabrics, and the dexterity to make the shot when it finally counts.

“Hunters spend real money on a ScentLok jacket and bibs, and they should expect the pieces on their head and hands to perform at that same level,” says Steve Allie, Marketing Director for ScentLok. “Odor escapes from hair, breath and skin. Leave those areas uncovered, or cover them with a bargain-bin glove, and the system has a hole in it. Our accessories close that hole without giving up warmth, quiet or feel.”

Mid-Season Must-Haves

BE:1 Headcover

The BE:1 Headcover covers the biggest leak in a hunter’s scent program, the face and every breath that comes out of it. Carbon Alloy^® adsorbs odor while Silver Alloy™ keeps bacteria from building, and Deadly Silent fabric stays hushed when heads turn. A hinged, contoured facemask moves naturally, and the large opening preserves sight and hearing, which answers the usual gripe about facemasks. It even has a built-in beanie, so one piece does it all.

Midweight Skull Cap

Ask any seasoned hunter where odor concentrates, and plenty of them will point to the head. The Midweight Skull Cap answers with Carbon Alloy^® to adsorb scent and Silver Alloy™ to curb the bacteria behind it. A DWR finish sheds light moisture, a wicking treatment handles sweat on the walk in, and fleece paneling over the ears and neck adds warmth. Two-way stretch keeps it snug and comfortable from mid-season clear into the late hunts.

BE:1 Voyage Pro Glove

Hands touch everything, from the bow and the release to the treestand rail, which makes them prime scent spreaders. The BE:1 Voyage Pro Glove pairs Carbon Alloy^® with Silver Alloy™ to keep them in check through the heart of the rut. Higher-loft fleece warms the back of the hand, while a microfleece-lined palm with silicone grip keeps dexterity sharp at full draw. Touch-tech fingertips work the phone, and a quiet, DWR-treated shell sheds light moisture.

Late-Season Lockdown

Carbon Alloy Knit Cuff Beanie

Everybody owns a stocking cap, but few of them fight odor. The Carbon Alloy Knit Cuff Beanie does, with a microfleece lining loaded with Carbon Alloy^® and backed by Silver Alloy™. Wear it cuffed when temps are cool, then roll it down over the ears when the cold bites. A wicking treatment handles sweat. And with Blaze Orange, Black, Charcoal and Muted Green options, it covers gun hunters and the drive to the diner, too.

Revenant Hand Muff

Bowhunters have always faced a late-season catch-22: bulky gloves warm the hands but cost them feel at the shot. The Revenant Hand Muff solves it. Hands stay nimble and toasty inside 400g Thinsulate™ insulation and a fleece liner, while WindBrake^® blocks the wind and a DWR finish sheds moisture. Carbon Alloy^® and Silver Alloy™ keep scent locked down, and a tricot shell stays deadly quiet. An adjustable waist strap and zippered front pocket round it out.

BE:1 Fortress Glove

When the late season turns mean, the BE:1 Fortress Glove holds the line. 133g PrimaLoft^® Silver insulation and a micro-fleece lining trap heat, while a DryLok™ waterproof, windproof membrane keeps out snow, sleet and wind. Carbon Alloy^® and Silver Alloy™ handle scent. Curved fingers and a leather palm improve fit and grip on the bow, and an extended cuff with a ladder-lock wrist adjuster seals the gap between glove and sleeve, where cold sneaks in.

Finish The Job

That’s the long and short of it. A scent control system is only as strong as its most exposed spot, and for most hunters, that’s the head, face and hands. Cover those with gear built to the same standard as the suit, and the system is finally complete.

“We spend a lot of time talking about jackets and bibs, and rightfully so,” says Allie. “But we’ve seen plenty of hunters do everything right with their outerwear, then get busted by a bare face or a pair of gas station gloves. These accessories make sure the whole hunter is covered, not just most of him.”
