ColemanDeodorizerMost campers, tailgaters and other outdoor enthusiasts have some experience with foul-smelling gear. After all, even those who take great care of their equipment don’t always have the time to thoroughly clean their tents, sleeping bags and other camp accessories. Plus, everyone knows that certain odors – like raw fish fillets – can be extremely difficult to wash away from a cooler.

Luckily, outdoor adventurers at all levels can now breathe a little easier thanks to a helpful new product – Coleman® Cooler & Camp Gear Deodorizer. This unique spray works to quickly eliminate and destroy the source of odors on virtually any gear. It is now available at select retailers and carries an MSRP of $4.99.
