Late summer gear.

I have been hunting Utah archery for about six years and have yet to find the right equipment to keep my sweeting to a minimum and sent down. What combo of light weight gear (pants, boots/shoes/, tops, and layers) do you use? Additionally what brand? Do you change and wipe down when you get to your "honey hole" or tree stand?
I drew a Manti LE tag this year and want to do all I can to make it a success. Thanks in advance.
 
Out of habit, I still probably try too hard with scent control, but I don't really believe it is all that important anymore. I just put my focus on the wind and let it drive me crazy as it changes and swirls.

Also, I often spend a week or more in a spike camp in the back country. The stank can get bad. After 3-4 days, I bathe in a creek and often wash my clothes in the creek, too. Mostly because I can't stand my own smell anymore.

Point is...I'd focus on the wind. With that said, I don't hunt from a stand. Usually, on the move runnin' and gunnin' looking for responsive bulls in the rut trying to keep the wind in our favor.
 
Merino wool in lightweight options is the best stuff for anti-microbial/reduced scent clothing.

That said, the wind is everything.
