Your Kid's Kit Never Actually Gets A Chance To Dry

Training before school. Training after school. A game on the weekend. For most hockey families, there's rarely more than 48 hours between sessions. The kit goes straight from the field into a zipped bag every single time.

That bag then sits in a locker, a boot of the car, or a corner of their garage until it's needed again. Sealed. Damp. In the dark. Never given a true chance to dry.

A bowl containing carrots, kale, parsley, and a slice of raw meat.

Shoes That Never Dry Out

These puppies are worn for practice and games, with mere days in between

The Jersey Drenched in Sweat

Taken off right after a match but thrown in with the rest of your sweaty kit

A bowl of cooked ground beef with diced vegetables.

Old Faithful Kit Bag

The bag that's gotten you through three seasons, even though it's time to replace her.

Shin Pads

The foam in your shin-pads is left to dry on it's own. In the dark of your kit bag.

That's not a small detail, it's the actual reason the smell keeps coming back no matter how new the kit is or how well it was washed. Odour-causing bacteria don't need a training session to grow. They just need moisture and time, and a zipped kit bag gives them exactly that, week after week.


Aroma Armour works during that resting window, the one every spray and powder completely ignores. Aroma Armour works hard so that the bacteria never get the conditions they need to build up again before the next session.

Goalkeeper Kits Are A Different Problem Entirely!

If Your Child Plays Keeper, You Get It. They're Nothing Like An Outfield Kid

Leg pads, chest guard, gloves, helmet; they’re all made with a thick foam, all strapped tightly against bare skin for the entire session. Instead of sweat mostly evaporating like it would with a jersey, it gets trapped directly against the body, soaking every layer of padding the whole time they're on the pitch. You’ve seen this on your kid. You’ve smelt them too.


All their gear gets zipped into one bag until the next session. It’s no accident that goalkeeper bags are almost always the worst-smelling bags at the club. The padding is doing exactly what it's designed to do, and nothing about a normal wash cycle addresses what happens to it afterward.

Keeper Parents Say Smelling The Kit Is What Finally Convinced Them

Nothing else was ever built to handle padding this saturated. Sometimes leaving it out to dry isn’t even enough.

What You've Tried Was Never Going To Hold

Here's the honest truth: all of it treats the smell that's already there. None of it stops what happens to the kit in the days between sessions, which is exactly when the real buildup happens. That’s when you get your gear and you open it as far away from your nose as possible.


So many parents tell us the same story. They've replaced the hockey shoes, replaced the kit bags, sometimes more than once, and the smell came back within weeks. As a parent, that isn’t a welcome cost. It was never really about how new or clean the kit was. It was about what was happening to it while it sat resting, completely untouched.

This Isn't Just About the Smell, It's About Your Kid

For a lot of kids, a stinky kit bag isn't just an inconvenience. It's the reason they change in a different corner of the room. The reason they leave their bag by the fence instead of with the team. The reason they start dreading something they used to love.


We hear from parents whose kids have been teased, nicknamed, even excluded from partner drills over their stinky kit. Most of these parents had no idea it had gotten that serious until a coach, a teacher, or another parent mentioned it. Their kids are often too embarrassed to mention anything.


Fixing the smell isn't really the goal. Making sure your kid never has to feel like something's wrong with them over something completely fixable, that's the actual point.

It Works Immediately, and It Keeps Working All Season

No spraying before every session. No overnight rituals to remember. You drop charcoal bags into the boots and charcoal bags into your gear once your training is done, and they keep pulling moisture and odour out continuously.


Each set lasts up to 9 months, recharges in direct sunlight, and works across boots, pads, gloves, and the kit itself. These bags cover the whole problem, not just one part of it. Parents often stock up to put a few across the entire kit, drawing moisture out all at once, rather than treating the kit bit by bit.
