Saxon Shield is an eco-friendly, reusable,
unscented, and effective solution to
unwanted odors. It is a pack of charcoal
pouches that can be put in gym bags,
lockers, cleats, and anywhere else you may
experience unwanted smells. Saxon Shield
works by using the porous nature of the
charcoal to absorb unwanted smells. The
charcoal absorbs pollutants and traps them
inside, leaving your shoes, home, locker
rooms, backpack, scentless!
