The Ozone Boot Dryer by Scent Crusher

Saturday, October 17th, 2020

Wichita, KS – The premium method for cleaning, drying, and removing odors from your shoes or gear is available with the Scent Crusher® Ozone Boot Dryer. Hunters demand a lot from their gear, and their boots are no different. Whether you’re putting the miles on in the mountains, working hours in and around the shop, or climbing into your treestand, we ask a lot of our boots. Keep yours clean, dry, and kicking with the Ozone Boot Dryer from Scent Crusher. 

The Ozone Boot Dryer uses a chemical-free drying method that destroys odors, mold, mildew, and viruses by utilizing the power of heated air and ozone. The air pipes are adjustable to fit tall boots to small slip-on shoes. The boot dryer has a small footprint (10″ W x 24.5” H x 9.75” D), weighing just 3.7 pounds, allowing for use in a small mudroom or hallway. The Dryer can run up to three hours with a 110v AC and has an automatic shutoff timer so you can be worry-free. Like other Scent Crusher® products, the Boot Dryer comes with a maintenance-free, two-year warranty. 

“This boot dryer isn’t just for hunting boots. It is lightweight, well built, and excellent quality. This thing has worked great for me at both drying and deodorizing a whole list of things; hunting boots, work/duty boots, running shoes, hats, gloves, socks, facemasks, and gear packs. Bottom line, I would recommend this to a friend,” said Chuck, a Scent Crusher® customer.

Technology

Scent Crusher® products are a complete scent elimination system. Based on research from NASA, these systems were developed using an exceptionally effective Ozone Generator that is 100% chemical-free and effectively removes odors from your gear. Scent Crusher® ozone generators produce on-demand ozone which is attracted to bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants. The ozone attacks and destroys scent and bacteria through oxidation, then converts it safely back into oxygen, leaving your gear scent-free. For more information, visit ScentCrusher.com.

BrandBlack – Mil-Spec Basic Black

Tuesday, October 13th, 2020

In a story on Vibram’s Wrap Tech during the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market earlier this year we gave you a sneak peek of the Mil-Spec Basic Black from LA’s BrandBlack.

The shoe features an interior sock knit and toggle closure for entry ease, and an instep strap to lock the foot in place. Additionally, there’s a reinforced suede toe and eyerow and it’s DWR coated for water repellancy.

The sole reminds me quite a bit of the old Bomba, for those of you who remember.

Available in any color, as long as it’s Black.

Aku Introduces Dual Fit System for Spring 21

Sunday, October 4th, 2020

Aku’s Dual Fit System is a double lacing system that allows the wearer to adjust the comfort and precision of the fit during different phases of use: a traditional lace for maximum comfort while walking or hiking, and a secondary fast lace that increases sensitivity and precision during climbing.

Aku describes it like this:

While the laces cinch the top of the foot like a traditional lace, they also feature interior laces within the fabric of the upper that wrap around the foot to customize the fit. The midsole incorporates an EVA foam for cushioning, and a PU heel for added support.  The midsole is wrapped with a protective rubber rand that protects the inside foot and toe area. Together with a Gore-Tex breathable liner and Vibram Approcciosa sole with Megagrip, the resulting Rock DFS collection offers a high-performance approach shoe for all day comfort, even while climbing.

This illustration gives you an idea of how the DFS works with two sets of laces.

DFS will be available in AKU’s new Rock DFS GTX, Rock DFS MID GTX , and Rock DFS footwear in spring/summer 2021.
