    Deodorizing Equipment...

    Are their anyways to get rid of the stink from your headgear and gloves, i've given up on my handwraps even after washing they stink after 2 training sessions. But my gloves and headgear absolutely reak to the point im embarassed to even bring them to work with the fear im going to shoo away new members from Joining the gym i work at. What do i do? It could be my bag because i've been using the same gym bag for the last year but i know my headgear and gloves have a part in it as well.

            Cheap vodka in a spray bottle.

            Seriously. Kills odor, leaves none.

              It's incredibly simple man. Just sort them out as soon as you get back.

              Handwraps - in the sink, let them soak in hot water and some powder, then rinse them with hot water and then squeeze it out and let them dry. Done. Don't even have to do this as soon as you get back but if they stink after 2 training sessions, wash them after each one...Doesn't take much effort.

              With the gloves I just hang them up, open the velcro straps and spray abit of deoderant in there and leave them to air them out. They haven't even started to smell remotely bad at all yet. Most of your sweat is going into your wraps, but if your wraps stink, like you say yours do, that'll transfer onto the gloves so by not keeping your wraps clean you're ruining your gloves too.

              Headgear you could wipe it out with some anti-bacterial and literally just wipe it down, keep it clean.

              Could try using talcum powder, always a classic for shoes, would work for gloves and headgear too. Make sure you don't have a shed load in though or else when you punch or got punched white powder would fly out haha.
