The insert is configured for removable attachment to the article of clothing adjacent the vent.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An odor absorbing system for use with an article of clothing for hunting that is configured to be worn by a person and includes a base layer adapted to substantially surround a portion of the person wearing the article of clothing, the base layer including a vent, the system comprising: 
 a container having a substantially airtight interior chamber; and    an odor absorbing insert stored in the interior chamber, the insert comprising a layer of breathable material and an odor absorbing agent on the layer of breathable material, wherein the insert is configured for removable attachment to the article of clothing adjacent the vent.    
   
   
       2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the container comprises a resealable opening to the interior chamber.  
   
   
       3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the odor absorbing insert is configured to cover the vent.  
   
   
       4 . An odor absorbing hunting system comprising: 
 an article of clothing for hunting;    a container having a substantially airtight interior chamber; and    an odor absorbing material including carbon, the odor absorbing material stored in the interior chamber of the container.    
   
   
       5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein: 
 the article of clothing is adapted to substantially surround a portion of a person wearing the article of clothing and comprises the odor absorbing material; and    the article of clothing and the odor absorbing material are stored in the interior chamber of the container.    
   
   
       6 . The system of  claim 5 , further comprising a hanger within the interior chamber and connected to the container.  
   
   
       7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the article of clothing is supported on the hanger.  
   
   
       8 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein: 
 the article of clothing includes a base layer adapted to substantially surround a portion of the person wearing the article of clothing, the base layer including a vent; and    the system further comprises an odor absorbing insert stored in the interior chamber of the container and comprising the odor absorbing material, wherein the insert is configured for removable attachment to the article of clothing adjacent the vent.    
   
   
       9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the odor absorbing insert is configured to cover the vent.  
   
   
       10 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the container comprises a resealable opening to the interior chamber.  
   
   
       11 . A method of manufacturing and distributing an odor absorbing system for hunting, comprising: 
 providing an odor absorbing material configured for use with an article of clothing adapted to be worn by a user for hunting; and    storing the odor absorbing material in an interior chamber of a substantially airtight container.    
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising: 
 transporting the odor absorbing material in the container and the article of clothing to a secondary location selected from the group consisting of a distributor and a retailer.    
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein storing comprises: 
 opening the container;    placing the odor absorbing material in the interior chamber of the container; and    sealing the container.    
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 11  comprising: 
 cutting an odor absorbing insert from a sheet of odor absorbing material comprising carbon, wherein the insert is configured for removable attachment to an article of clothing for hunting; and    storing the odor absorbing insert in a substantially airtight container, wherein cutting and storing occur at a manufacturing facility.    
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 11  comprising: 
 forming an article of clothing for hunting including an odor absorbing material; and    storing the article of clothing in the interior chamber of the container.    
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising hanging the article of clothing within the interior chamber of the container.  
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein hanging the article of clothing comprises placing the article of clothing on a hanger and attaching the hanger to a portion of the container that is within the interior chamber.  
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the container comprises an elongate bag having a resealable opening.  
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein providing the odor absorbing material comprises manufacturing the odor absorbing material in an odor controlled environment including an air filtration system.  
   
   
       20 . A method of reducing odor emanation from a person into an environment surrounding the person, comprising: 
 providing an odor absorbing material comprising carbon;    storing the odor absorbing material in an interior chamber of a substantially airtight container;    removing the odor absorbing material from the container;    wearing the odor absorbing material on the person; and    hunting wild game while wearing the article of clothing.    
   
   
       21 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein: 
 providing the odor absorbing material comprises providing an odor absorbing insert including the odor absorbing material in the interior chamber of an airtight container; and    removing the odor absorbing material comprises removing the odor absorbing insert from the container;    wherein the method further comprises 
 removably attaching the insert to a portion of an article of clothing; and  
 wearing the odor absorbing material comprises wearing the article of clothing.  
   
   
   
       22 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein, after wearing the odor absorbing material, the method further comprises: 
 removing the odor absorbing insert from the article of clothing;    placing the odor absorbing insert into the container; and    sealing the container.    
   
   
       23 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein: 
 providing the odor absorbing material comprises providing an article of clothing including the odor absorbing material in the interior chamber of the airtight container;    removing the odor absorbing material comprises removing the article of clothing from the container; and    wearing the odor absorbing material comprises wearing the article of clothing.    
   
   
       24 . The method of  claim 23 , wherein, after wearing the odor absorbing material, the method further comprises:
