Scent Management

How we keep human smells from alerting animals in the field.

ABOUT SCENT MANAGEMENT

Unfortunately, most game animals—especially whitetails—have a sense of smell keener than a blue-ribbon bloodhound. How do you keep them from smelling you on a hunt? Easy: Practice good scent management and use Badlands gear. We'll keep your smell under wraps, so you can leave the field like the champ you are.

Main Tech Features

Hypalon

Hypalon is one of the strongest, most flexible materials out there—which is why we had to have it for our packs. These patches support the straps on your pack as they shift while you're climbing up a hill or when you drop it on a hunt (not that you'd ever do that).

MERINO WOOL

Merino fibers aren't just warm and soft—they're naturally odor-resistant, too. The lanolin found in Merino wool prevents bacteria (and smells) from forming, meaning you'll stay odor-free for longer.
