Scentlok $19.99 mask

Had to search and see if this was a "tongue in cheek" post or something Scentlok had actually started making. Much better off spending the $19.99 for the gaiter IMO, at least that can be used for hunting season. As for being appalled, mixed opinions will abound. Some will think, "hey good for them for making something useful in these times." Others will think, "how dare them try to take advantage of people in these times." For me I guess it comes down to: It's cool that they added this too there lineup and nice that a part of the proceeds go to a good cause. It would be nice to see them donate to the health care and other front line workers, which they may of already done?

They’re marketing them as “Essential masks” for 2,000+% of what a typical ppe mask would cost. Why would you take their stance over a normal human’s?

Because no one is being forced to buy from them and it's not like they went out and purchased thousands of N95 from a supplier and trying to turn a profit on them. This is something they are using their material and manpower to make so it is not a sin for them to charge for them. Up to the free citizen to decide whether it's a purchase they want to make or not. I'll stand behind my first statement, I'd rather purchase a gaiter (which I already had back last hunting season).
 
I feel almost exactly like @BuckTown. They are offering a product with more bells and whistles (Carbon filter, comfortable features, washable/reusable) than the standard PPE and if people chose to pay up for it, that is their prerogative. honestly is i needed a mask for work i would consider one of these (but would probably end up with a gaiter that i could hunt in too haha)
 
Do they have the active carbon in them? Just curious, because when I first looked, I didn't see a statement about active carbon technology. Did anyone else find it?
 
It says carbon layer. I assume that means activated carbon just like anything else they sell.

I wonder what motivated this product launch. If it was money/profit than you could say “that’s okay, every company’s motivation behind a product launch is profit”

But given the circumstances when it is literally an “essential” item for national safety AND in low supply AND dozens of companies and countless Americans are making them for free....its just not a good look for Scentlok!

I believe in capitalism so go for it Scentlok. But boy oh boy is this transparent and boy oh boy did I squirm when I saw the description on their page that tried desperately to hide their motivation.

Yeah I hear ya man. I am on the fence about it really. If they were 9.99 , I don't think people would have even blinked an eye at it.
 
Most masks on etsy are 15 bucks and they are made with cheap cloth. I have zero issue with it. They look comfortable. If I didn't already have to buy a couple from someone on etsy (paid 33 for both shipped) I would probably have bought from them because I could potentially use it hunting....I mean its camo and that is my favorite color.
 
I bought one. I also have some that were made for me by friends. I can say that the Scentlok is super comfortable and has easily adjusted. In fact my daughter stole it from me. I need to order another.

Also I not a scentlok lover by any means, but their clothes are pretty well made and are wind proof. You can usually find good deals on sale.
