Yeah, I would stay away from any item that gets human contact and sweat.....

 

So shoes is OK'ish, but bibs, helmets, gloves, sweat bands and the like I would not buy. Jerseys are a difficult matter - you can wash it and it has not been in contact with any dodge areas..... but then again.... hmmm. NOT :thumbdown:

It's amazing how many shoes get traded on the Hub. I agree, wearing something that has been on someone else's germ infested feet is not something that I would do.

One wash, then clothes, shoes & helmets are clean, No germs or sweat marks. Don't see what the issue is :unsure:
