The Problem: Hockey Gear Funk Is Real
Skates, gloves, pads—your gear works hard, and unfortunately, so does the smell.
Toss it all in your bag post-practice, zip it up, and boom—you’ve just created a portable odor bomb.
We’ve all had that moment:
You unzip your bag… and instantly regret it.
Teammates back up. Your dog refuses to come near. The car ride home? Window down, even in the dead of winter.
But here’s the good news: there’s a way to survive (and defeat) the stink.
The Hockey Gear Survival Guide
🏒 1. Air It Out (But Don’t Stop There)
After every game or practice, empty your bag completely. Lay out your gear in a well-ventilated area and let it dry.
Moisture is a breeding ground for bacteria—and bacteria = the stench you know all too well.
🧺 2. Wash What You Can
Jerseys, socks, base layers—throw them in the wash.
Clean clothes = less transfer of sweat and stink to the rest of your gear. It’s basic, but it works.
🧼 3. Meet Your New MVP: RANK Spray
Not everything can hit the washing machine. That’s where RANK Spray comes in.
This non-toxic, odor-killing powerhouse neutralizes bacteria odor at the source, not just covers up the smell.
Spray it on:
- Skates
- Gloves
- Pads
- Helmets
- Even the inside of your gear bag
It works instantly, and it’s safe for all gear types.
🎒 4. Upgrade Your Bag
Still using an old, sealed-up duffle?
Ventilated hockey bags allow air to circulate, drying your gear faster and reducing odor buildup.
Trust us—this one change is a game-changer.
Pro Tip: Always Be Prepared
Keep a travel-size bottle of RANK Spray in your bag.
Got a tournament? Doubleheader? Long ride home? A quick spritz post-game keeps your gear (and your rep) clean.
