AccessoryActivated charcoal
The essentials: an activated charcoal deodoriser for boxing gloves — a set of 2 mesh pouches joined by a camo wrist cord, slipped into your gloves after training. They absorb moisture and neutralise odours, keeping the gloves fresher and extending their life. €19, free shipping.
No more gloves that smell. Two mesh pouches filled with activated charcoal, joined by a cord, go into the gloves after every session: they dry the inside out and keep your kit sound for longer.
Two mesh pouches and a cord
Each teardrop-shaped pouch is covered in an open mesh that lets the charcoal work. The two are joined by a camo cord: hang them up to air between sessions, and never lose one of the pair. Each pouch carries a printed marking on the mesh.
How it works
The activated charcoal inside the pouches captures the moisture and the odours trapped in a glove after training. By keeping the inside drier, it limits the damp environment bacteria need — and stops moisture degrading the padding and the stitching.
Not just for boxing
Made for boxing gloves, it works just as well in goalkeeper, hockey or ski gloves, and in sports shoes.
How to use it
After training, slide one pouch into each glove and leave it until the next session. Between uses, hang them by the cord to air. Simple and reusable.

Frequently asked questions
How do you use a boxing glove deodoriser?
Put one pouch in each glove after training and leave it until the next session; the activated charcoal captures moisture and odours. Between uses, hang them by the cord to air.
Does it work for anything other than boxing?
Yes. Beyond boxing gloves, it suits goalkeeper, hockey and ski gloves, and sports shoes.
Does it extend the life of the gloves?
Indirectly, yes. Moisture left inside a glove degrades the padding and the stitching over time; keeping the inside dry limits that.
How long does activated charcoal stay effective?
Activated charcoal saturates with moisture as it works. Hang the pouches by the cord between sessions so they dry in the air — that drying is what restores their absorption and makes them reusable.
