Abstract
Odor-absorbing articles of clothing particularly useful for hunting big game animals wherein the clothing incorporates an intermediate odor-absorbing layer or sheet of material comprising non-woven synthetic fibers impregnated with activated carbon powdered particles. The relatively low cost odor-absorbing sheet possesses a flexible, readily pliant characteristic which permits its incorporation into an article of hunting clothing to preserve the required comfort to the wearer. The odor-absorbing sheet includes a binder which upon drying, adheres the carbon particles to the synthetic fibers without causing the sheet to become stiff and unpliant. The preferred activated carbon loading is about 100 to 200 weight percent of the weight of the non-woven sheet material.
