2) GloveStix

Proven to inhibit 99.9% of odor causing bacteria growth in a 24 hour period. The antimicrobial solution in each stick will last 10 years.
• On the inside of each stick are replaceable deodorizing inserts. We use non indicating silica gel and plant based essential oils to absorb moisture and deodorize. Replace about every 3-4 months for optimum performance. No need to replace the stix... just the inserts.
• Easy to use and long lasting, the glovestix are perfect for the on the go athlete. Besides saving mom and dad a lot of time and money they will surely save their nose! No more chemical sprays and toxic ingredients and no more time spent trying to get rid of that awful smell. The stix are meant to keep in your gear bag and then simply place the stix inside your gear after practice and games and leave them there, they will do all the work... for you! And dont let the name fool you, they are not just for gloves or athletes. We have customers that use them in dance shoes, arm pads, knee pads (lots of volleyball customers), helmets, ski boots, skates, shoes, Ugg boots, sperrys etc. They can be used in any item that traps moisture. By eliminating the smell in the actual gear thats in the bag, you eliminate the smell of the bag as well. Carpool night has just gotten better.
