Sanitizing a sweaty gi during working hours

[MThomas]

My office gym is holding open mat grappling in the mornings, some days gi, some days nogi.
The nogi days are no problem, I can shove my nogi shirt and shorts in a plastic grocery bag and tie it up.
It's the gi days that are going to be an issue since the grappling gis are a heavy weight and take up a lot of room. Usually when I go gi (elsewhere) I'm not going to work immediately afterwards so I just hang the gi up on a clothesline outside the house and let it air itself out. Since there's no locker room that I can hang it up in it's going to be compressed all day so already I'm looking at a one-wash-per-use scenario.
What I'm wondering is if there's a powder, spray, or other solution that will keep it from stinking in my cubicle since it will have absorbed the body odor of everyone I would have rolled with that morning, anyone solved this scenario?

not sure that should be in the r1150r section

I tend to only wear my GI on my tatami mat, not my bike.

LOL

I agree with peels. This forum is about all things relating to BMW motorcycles and R's (are) the center of this one. There is an "Off Topic" section of the board where pretty much anything (within practical limits) can be asked and discussed. This topic really should be there.

let me post in off-topic, I figured this is relevant since those driving a car can always hang the gi over the head rests on the seats to air out but with a bike that's not an option, I'll re-post

GI = Glycaemic Index to me. Tell me please what is a gi in the USA.

[MThomas]

the gi, in this case, refers to a grappling uniform which is basically a karate uniform but it's much thicker/heavier weight hence takes up a lot more room in the backpack but that's a whole nother logistical issue

I pictured a sumo wrestlers thong underpants when I first read your post. Now I cant stop laughing every time i think of one draped over the handlebars of an 1150, and a giant japanese man stepping off of it.

Seems a shame to waste the commentary above by moving this topic to Off Topic... after all, our beloved board is living in its twilight years, so any & all posts are to be cherished.

Thus, I propose an R1150R-specific solution to the Sweaty Gi Problem (SGP):

What could possibly be better than to drape sweaty gi across R1150R Roadster (or Rockster)? Secure to bike using lock and cable threaded through arms. Air dry (or rain rinse) naturally and removed from office confines and coworker senses. The idea seems so perfect as multi-purpose (and multi-cultural) motorcycle protection, that I may buy myself a new gi, having last been gi-enabled back in college during my judo days.

I've been shopping for a new bike cover, and pondering how I might transform 'new' into 'thrashed' because of bike security recommendations claiming that a bike hidden under a well-used, stained, slightly torn bike cover is less likely to get stolen. But a bike hidden via SGP-technique? Practically invisible! And with the protective combination of thick cotton material and SGP's piquant perspiration providing physical and malodorous barriers to motorcycle mischief, you can rest assured that your German bike is safely embraced by Japanese martial arts garb. When work is done, roll up the gi and bungee to pillion. Wash and dry as needed.

Bonus: should roadside or shadetree maintenance work be required during travels, the SGP becomes a handy and robust ground cover solution.

<edit> I did google for a technical solution, but no joy. Only this tidbit: http://www.businessinsider.com/does-fre ... ria-2014-5
