Abstract

A garment for reducing odor includes material arranged to form at least one of a shirt, a jacket, pants, socks, gloves, a hunting mask, and a hat. The garment has a layer including at least a portion of the at least one of the shirt, the jacket, pants, socks, gloves, the hunting mask, and the hat and a combination of odor-controlling materials provided with the layer. The combination of odor-controlling materials has (a) a first odor-controlling material, the first odor-controlling material including a physical adsorbent and (b) a second odor-controlling material, the second odor-controlling material including an odor neutralizer. The combination of odor-controlling materials is configured to adsorb and neutralize a percentage of odors that engage the layer.

Claims (37)

1. A garment for reducing odor and including material arranged to form at least one of a shirt, a jacket, pants, socks, gloves, a hunting mask, and a hat, the garment comprising:

a layer comprising at least a portion of the at least one of the shirt, the jacket, pants, socks, gloves, the hunting mask, and the hat; and

a combination of odor-controlling materials provided with the layer, the combination of odor-controlling materials comprising:

a first odor-controlling material, wherein the first odor-controlling material comprises a physical adsorbent; and

a second odor-controlling material, wherein the second odor-controlling material comprises an odor neutralizer,

wherein the combination of odor-controlling materials is configured to adsorb and neutralize a percentage of odors that engage the layer.

2. The garment of claim 1 , wherein the first odor-controlling material comprises at least one of activated carbon, silica, zeolite, ammonia stone, carbon treated to adsorb hydrogen sulfide, carbon treated to adsorb mercaptan, and carbon treated to adsorb amines.

3. The garment of claim 1 , wherein the odor neutralizer comprises a basic material.

4. The garment of claim 1 , wherein the odor neutralizer comprises at least one of sodium bicarbonate, sodium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, calcium oxide, calcium hydroxide, and magnesium hydroxide.

5. The garment of claim 1 , wherein the layer comprises a camouflage pattern.

6. The garment of claim 1 , wherein the layer is insulated.

7. The garment of claim 1 , wherein the layer is waterproof.

8. The garment of claim 1 , wherein the layer is windproof.

9. A garment for reducing odor and including material arranged to form at least one of a shirt, a jacket, pants, socks, gloves, a hunting mask, and a hat, the garment comprising:

a layer comprising at least a portion of the at least one of the shirt, the jacket, pants, socks, gloves, the hunting mask, and the hat; and

a combination of odor-controlling materials provided with the layer, the combination of odor-controlling materials comprising:

a first odor-controlling material, wherein the first odor-controlling material comprises activated carbon; and

a second odor-controlling material, wherein the second odor-controlling material comprises a carbon-based material treated to adsorb hydrogen sulfide,

wherein the second odor-controlling material comprises between one tenth percent and twenty percent by weight of the combination of odor-controlling materials,

wherein the combination of odor-controlling materials is configured to at least one of adsorb and neutralize a percentage of odors that engage the layer.

10. The garment of claim 9 , wherein the combination of odor-controlling materials further comprises a third odor-controlling material different from the first odor-controlling material and the second odor-controlling material.

11. The garment of claim 10 , wherein the third odor-controlling material comprises a carbon-based material treated to adsorb mercaptan, and wherein the third odor-controlling material comprises between one tenth percent and twenty percent by weight of the combination of odor-controlling materials.

12. The garment of claim 9 , wherein the layer comprises a camouflage pattern.

13. The garment of claim 9 , wherein the layer is insulated.

14. The garment of claim 9 , wherein the layer is waterproof.

15. The garment of claim 9 , wherein the layer is windproof.

16. A garment for reducing odor and including material arranged to form at least one of a shirt, a jacket, pants, socks, gloves, a hunting mask, and a hat, the garment comprising:

a layer comprising at least a portion of the at least one of the shirt, the jacket, pants, socks, gloves, the hunting mask, and the hat; and

a combination of odor-controlling materials provided with the layer, the combination of odor-controlling materials comprising:

a first odor-controlling material, wherein the first odor-controlling material comprises activated carbon;

a second odor-controlling material, wherein the second odor-controlling material comprises a carbon-based material treated to adsorb hydrogen sulfide; and

a third odor-controlling material including at least one of zeolite and ammonia stone, wherein the third odor-controlling material comprises between one tenth and twenty percent by weight of the combination of odor-controlling materials,

wherein the combination of odor-controlling materials is configured to at least one of adsorb and neutralize a percentage of odors that engage the layer.

17. The garment of claim 16 , wherein the layer comprises a camouflage pattern.

18. The garment of claim 16 , wherein the layer is insulated.

19. The garment of claim 16 , wherein the layer is waterproof.

20. The garment of claim 16 , wherein the layer is windproof.
