Kootenay Fresh Gear Service Benefits

The Problem. Perspiration that is produced from strenuous activity allows bacteria to form deep within sports equipment, resulting in potentially dangerous contact with the athlete's skin, and the all too familiar odors associated with hockey, football, lacrosse and other sports equipment. Recently, an alarming number of athletes in the NHL, NFL, NCAA and high school ranks have been sidelined due to serious staph infections (MRSA) often caused by a cut or scratch on the skin being exposed to the bacteria in their equipment. Merely "airing out" your equipment does not kill the bacteria and, in some cases, introducing moisture via "washing" can make the problem worse.

Unique Solution. To address these and other health issues resulting from exposure to harmful mold, mildew and bacteria, Ozone Nation Inc. has developed the Fresh Gear® process. A remarkably effective sports equipment sanitizing system. The system was designed to destroy the bacteria growing in your sports equipment. The key ingredient in this powerful sanitizing system is ozone gas. Ozone has been utilized for decades in the sanitizing of food, drinking water, swimming pools, hospitals and in fire and flood restoration. What makes the Fresh Gear® process unique, in comparison to other ozone sanitizers, is that it delivers high velocity ozone flow directly into the thick padding of the sports equipment, penetrating deeply into the dense fibers, killing bacteria in the most critical area, where the gear contacts the skin! It is a dry process and hence does not introduce potentially harmful moisture to the equipment. It is safe to use and environmently friendly.
