im not sure, they are missions that were like $30 i got from big 5 (that should tell you A LOT about how "cheap" im saying) but they have lasted a lot longer then $70 eastons or bauers ive had...as far as the palm material i really dont know but it almost feels like a suede...im telling you, you have to try the tennis grips (the thin ones) they are amazingIDuck, what kind of gloves do you have now?
The palm material seems to make a big difference. Any gloves I've had with Nash get crusty after half a season but gloves I've had with Clarino have gone 1-2 seasons.
Down the road I'm pretty much exclusively buying Clarino palm gloves and hoping to get 2 seasons out of them, then toss and get new ones in the ~$100 range.
Or if I spot another pair of Warriors on clearance. Think I paid $40 for my Koncepts.
Hang it up right after playing.
Spray with anti-bacterial spray (febreze or something)
Dryer sheets in the gloves with the liners out
Jerseys, undergarments, socks, etc in the wash.
I'd also try putting your shoulder and elbow pads in the washer.. worked well for me. Pants I'm not too sure on.
Yes there is. Hockey Experts locations in Sportcheks will have a Sani Sport machine that does that. Best to call ahead and confirm the existence of one. $25 for skaters.
I've had a lot of success with my rocket dryer. Just throw the gear in when you get home for 90 minutes. It won't do much for an already established funk, but if you wash your gear once, it should go a long way to keeping it from smelling unholy
Bad smelling hockey gear is like a badge of honor in the dressing room haha.
how would you compare the Sani Sport and the Fresh Gear?
I know they both uze ozone (instead of water) and it seems to me Fresh Gear 'forces' the ozone deeper into the equipment. From the places I've called Fresh Gear is about 10 dollars more than the Sani Sport (40 vs $30).
I will probably try Fresh Gear around end of April.
There is also a great video on YouTube from How To Hockey. They have a great selection of stuff. Anyhow, bottom line, except for your skates and helmet throw it in the washing machine. I have good success with Borax powder added to the water too and also adding vinegar to the rinse cycle water.

No idea what Fresh Gear is. I do like what Sani Sport does though. It's a good method.
