Things I Probably Shouldn’t Want, But Do: Scent Crusher Rapid Mobile Shower Suit

It’s probably a good thing they didn’t make these when I was in junior high.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but, uh…you stink.

Not to us, of course; you stink to scent-sensitive game animals like deer, wild hogs, bear and predators. And, of course, I stink too. Trying to keep your human scent (which you can’t smell anyway) under control while walking to and from your hunting location has always been a tall order. But today, I’ve seen something that–if it works as advertised–just might solve that problem. It’s the Scent Crusher Rapid Mobile Shower, and I probably shouldn’t want it, but I do.

As you can see from the picture above, the Rapid Mobile Shower is much better than the Axe body spray teenaged Trace used instead of soap and water. It’s not a spray or a treatment, it’s a suit that you put on over your gear. And while you’re wearing it, it’s using ozone technology to kill your person-stink just as if you stepped into a shower. (I’m pretty sure that high-school teachers everywhere are frantically penciling it into their budgets.)

The Tech

Here’s how it works: Zip on the lightweight, 2-pound suit. The Rapid Mobile Shower includes a maintenance-free digital ozone generator and is equipped with heavy-duty zippers, adjustable closures, and leak-free fabric. Plug the suit in using the included 110v AC or 12v DC cords and let the suit do the work! Scent Crusher bills it as the easiest way from work to the stand with no equipment, so you can use every minute of daylight.

Based on research from NASA, this system was developed using an exceptionally effective Ozone Generator that is 100% chemical-free and effectively removes scent and 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.

Looks like a Hazmat suit…and it looks like you can kind of use it that way

This thought isn’t from Scent Crusher, but from me. Did you catch that bit in the paragraph above about ozone killing bacteria and viruses? If you or a loved one need to care for an immunocompromised person in the era of COVID-19, it seems that this suit would also be a pretty canny way to “detox” your clothes and person. Say, for example, you’re running groceries and supplies to an elderly family member. Just zip into the suit for a couple of minutes after you arrive at your destination, and you’ve taken a big step to secure their safety.

The MSRP is $200, and it’s available from all major outdoor retailers such as MidwayUSA, Cabela’s, Sportsman’s Guide and others. Scent Crusher.com.
