The latest in Scent Crusher's line of odor-elimination implements, The Locker provides an efficient way to remove smells and odors both before and after a hunt. Utilizing research from NASA, the systems used in The Locker were developed around a digital ozone generator (a $250 value—included with The Locker), which emits chemical-free ozone, claimed to destroy most odors within 30 minutes. This rechargeable generator includes adjustable output, an almost silent circulation fan, and can operate over four hours on a single charge, making The Locker a portable option. The 69"X 45"X 27" Locker is easy to assemble, and includes heavy-duty metal shelves to suit storage needs. Similarly heavy-duty zippers keep ozone inside, while outside pockets and a weather-proof, moisture-resistant base round out this storage solution.
