well they sell these, usually for growing pot, but they will scrub any odor out of the air.
Problem is that this would be much more effective placed inside the room that the person is smoking in, rather than placed in your daughter's room.
ask your neighbor if you can set it up. perhaps they will just elect to smoke outside once she realizes that she is harming a kid, and you as good parents, are willing to go that far to protect her.
A lot depends on the style you're looking for. I'll also say that security in a bag is a myth. There are things to discourage certain behavior, but ultimately a bag should never be seen as a secure container. (after all it can always be cut)
What I chose.
I traveled for about a month in Europe staying in hostels. Even though it was only a month I could have traveled for about a year (adding only a tablet) with the bag/things I brought.
Osprey Farpoint 40 Travel Backpack - $150 (Discontinued)
[Osprey Farpoint 40 Travel Backpack
I love this bag but it might not be the single best option for you. It's low profile, turns into a duffle bag (more about that later) and although it doesn't look like a school backpack, it doesn't standout like this either.
The reason I love that it turns into a duffle bag is because theres a semi hidden velcro pocket in the bottom where the cover rolls into. This is a great place to sew or velcro a small zippered wallet or bag to store extra money or valuables. It's not secure as much as its hidden. This won't help you if they steal the whole bag, but it will help you if they just ransack the place and steal from the open compartments.
Other Options
There are a ton of other options. I suggest watching the VagaBrothers Video - How to Choose the BEST Travel BACKPACK | Pros & Cons Minimalist Backpack Review and Travel Tips: Packing Hacks, Tips & Essentials
The F Stop bags look great, but are pretty pricy. Depending on what lenses you're bringing (18-55mm kit lens VS 70-200mm VR f2.8) it may or may not be worth it for size and configurability. I personally bought a Sony a6000 and left my big DSLR at home. That was actually a really good choice for the type of trip I did, but if I was going for a year (like you are) I understand needing the big camera. You might want to get camera/lens inserts like this (but not necessarily that one, I just clicked on the first one I saw on amazon) to store and protect those other lenses.
Hope that helps.
The following is copy and pasted from an email I sent to family friends traveling abroad. It gives links and ideas for things that help when traveling minimally.
----------

Security:
Since I was traveling alone, and in hostels, security was a slightly bigger deal for me. I carried my passport on my person or locked in my hostel (many had lockers or metal lock boxes).
At all times I had a photo copy of my passport and everything in my wallet, some local currency, and a print out of all the embassies in the area. (Attached to this email.) I printed this double sided and had multiple copies with me.
I told my mom, "At any time I want to be able to have everything stolen, but still have a way back home.” My credit card will do cash transfers internationally and also includes a continuous travel insurance package.
I would highly suggest making three copies of your passport and all credit cards and other ID you are taking. One lives on your person when your passport is stored elsewhere (hotel, for example), one lives in your luggage (preferably hidden/tucked away), and one stays with a trusted friend or family member that will be in the States for the duration of your trip. If anything happens they will be able to assist with proving your identity to the State Department, thus speeding the process along. I suggest keeping some cash tucked in your passport (along with that embassy list), your copy of the passport in the luggage, and then the copy of the passport and embassy list in your wallet. At this point you have three possibilities of things to grab to prove your identity/pay for a cab/tell you where to go.
While this may seem a little overboard, I find it doesn't take that long to set up and helps greatly should anything bad happen. Also consider registering with the State Department. This helps them track Americans abroad should anything happen, and also gives you alerts, should anything happen. https://step.state.gov/step/

Tech Tips
I also used a service called Line2 to give me a US phone number to call from and receive calls to while I was away. I have T-Mobile that gives me included unlimited international data. As long as I had a 4g signal, I also had a phone I could make and receive calls on. Google Voice and Skype would also do this. Do be aware of how much international data costs. Wifi is easy to find, but I suggest using a VPN on your phone or laptop for any web surfing. And even with the VPN I would not suggest logging into any financial (bank, etc) while abroad unless you are on a trusted wifi network (aka, friends).
For maps you can download parts of Google Maps by searching the city and clicking “Download." This should work on Android and iOS versions of Google Maps.
This can be dealt with.
Here are a few options to consider. First, Zinc will help with the stink. You can take a Zinc supplement AND use a topical ointment on your feet. If you decide to take a Zinc supplement, don't take it everyday and be mindful of your copper levels. OptiZinc has copper included although you want to supplement even a little more. The ideal zinc-to-copper ratio is 10:1.
This works very well because it contains 40% Zinc. One of the highest you can find. I've used this on my feet with success and I've even used it on my face before to help with complexion issues and it never dried me out. I think using daily on your feet would be fine although I wouldn't recommend putting it on your face every day. You can find this in Walmart in the baby isle (where the Pedialyte is located). Start with a small amount and rub it in. A little goes a long way with this stuff, you don't want your feet feeling greasy all day.
I bought this because I was looking for safer deodorant options. I was amazed at how well it worked on my armpits (much better than traditional deodorants containing aluminum) and the upside for you is, it even specifically mentions being used on feet to treat foot odor. I haven't done that but I imagine it would working swimmingly.
This product is along the same lines as BodyMint, but much cheaper. It is typically used to deal with bad breath that originates from odor created in the gut, but it has also been used to treat general body odor as well. I recommend starting with the top 2 recommendations first but considering this can be tried for only ~$7, it may be worth just adding it to your odor fighting stack.
I was told this is the product that bowling alleys use to disinfect the bowling shoes. I bought a can sometime ago when I was running and wanted to keep my running shoes from getting rank. I can't find it right now but I seem to recall a warning about harmful/caustic chemicals coming into contact with skin so use this one carefully if you decide to try it. You should be disinfecting your shoes anyway since it sounds like your issue could be bacterial or fungal, seeing as it spreads so rapidly to new shoes.
I got these for running and I love them. They are super light and are made from a breathable mesh. The thicker your socks are, the more likely your feet are to get hot and begin sweating. These are a bit expensive but you can think of them as an investment that pays dividends.
These are designed to naturally remove odor. I keep them in my shoes when they're just sitting in my closet. I assume they are working because my shoes don't stink. They are cheap and got good reviews on Amazon. Check 'em out.
In conclusion
I believe if you are washing your feet thoroughly, making sure your socks are clean and your feet have some Zinc ointment rubbed into them (or the crystal deodorant applied) and your shoes are properly disinfected and dry, I think you will see an appreciable reduction in foot funk if not a complete eradication.
Good luck.

Sorry for the formatting! I'm going to do a big post write up and this is a great place to start at least. Thanks for the motivation.
Interesting; apparently charcoal is the way to go.. I see amazon has something in this domain: http://www.amazon.com/Fridge-It-Naturally-Activated-Charcoal-Absorber/dp/B000I1UXPS
> i basically just need a light and thats it? if i want to grow autoflower only
oh boi... alright here we go.
youll need duct fans for both ventilation and heat dissipation, especially if you go with HPS/MH lights 600/1000watts will require reflectors with ducting so you can connect to it. This will need to exhaust out of your tent. Then you will need a intake fan coming preferably from outside. Youll most likely also need a Carbon filter attached in series to your exhaust fan. Your light will have a ballast as well, which creates a good amount of heat so plan for that to be located outside your tent. Youll also need smaller fans in the corners so you can keep a good air circulation going (hurricane fans are great). Also consider using T5 lights when starting your seeds off as your higher wattage lights are not good for seedlings. Also get a few supplies like gorilla tape and duct clamps and anything else you might need to secure everything together.
When it comes to growing, even if you are only doing autos youll need smart pots, fertilizer, promix HP, perlite plus both vegging and flowering nutrients. Have access to PH up and down solution, and also get a Ph Pen + PPM meter (TDS).
Ive only linked amazon, there are probably other local options for you.
You can try to get some activated Charcoal. I doubt there is anything you can do for already tainted food but it will absorb a lot more than Baking soda.
Something like [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Fridge-It-Naturally-Activated-Charcoal-Absorber/dp/B000I1UXPS)
I use these odor eliminators in any shoes I wear without socks and they make SUCH a difference. I have one set at home that I pop into my shoes as soon as I take them off and one set I keep in my shoes in my gym bag. They're great!
I also have something similar to these which add comfort and can go in the wash. But mine only work with sneakers - they wouldn't work with flats that show the top of your foot.
Thank you, I'm aware that any type of smoke is terrible for pets so I use one of these sploofs in conjunction with this air purifier which I can't recommend enough.
Yes! Many of us have stealth grows. I use a 6" carbon filter hooked up to an inline fan that I pipe through my radon mitigation system from the basement and up through the roof of the house. I maintain negative air pressure in my grow room so no air goes anywhere but through that filter.
I'm guessing you have that shed wired for electricity or you wouldn't be growing there. If you have a stovepipe exhaust on that shed, use that. If not, either install one or use something like a dryer vent out one of the side walls. make sure it is sealed against light leaks
Edit: https://www.amazon.com/VIVOSUN-Australia-Charcoal-Pre-filter-Reversible/dp/B01731MLFK
Double edit: Get the 4" version unless you're running 6" PVC pipe. Finding a 6"->3" coupling was a pain in the dick.
Nylon will help some, but I find natural fibers breathe better. And don't consider your shoes ruined! Try some activated charcoal shoe bags first to eliminate the odor!
Not that I would recommend this for a plane, but your new best friend https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GL8GQBW
I just ordered this. It claims it's only 50db, I can update when it arrives tomorrow.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MSEVQ3J/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Get a carbon filter, a big one like they use for growing weed (f.ex this), to keep the smell down. It will eat bad smells like nobodies business. It would be ideal if you could send the cold air coming out of the Air Conditioner, into the input of the carbon filter, so by the time you smell any air it's already been cooled and passed through the carbon filter.
Cowboy boots all the way! (Tecovas are inexpensive and good quality) Easy on-off, once you get used to them you’ll be comfortable all day. Who cares what they get dirty with, you just wipe it off.
If you do go this route or really for any other type of footwear, get some activated charcoal odor absorbers (https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Purifying-Deodorizer-Eliminator-Non-Toxic/dp/B071YLSWHW/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?keywords=charcoal+odor+absorber&qid=1557537941&s=gateway&sprefix=charcoal+odir&sr=8-7 ) these things are awesome, once you notice they stop working you put them out in the sun for a day and they’re good as new. They usually last about a year and make a huge difference.
Don't tell anyone! Not telling anyone is the most important!
Even one plant will stink during flowering. For the smell use a carbon filter like this https://www.amazon.com/Amagabeli-Australia-Activated-Hydroponics-Pre-Filter/dp/B01N5OBM37
A combo like this one will cleanse a small room of bad odors. You could put your printer inside a cupboard and cut a hole for the exhaust. The fan will creative negative pressure, sucking in clean air through cracks and/or small inlets, pull it through your filter and blast it out. Get a fitting transformer to supply the fan with little less than grid voltage to make it all quieter.
Note that the unit I linked will be massively overpowered with a flow rate of 440 cubic feet per minute. You can find smaller ones in shops selling this kinda stuff. Just make sure you're not kidding around with small axial fans from computers and the like. That stuff won't be able to create enough negative pressure to suck air through the filter.
I've switched over to using these instead of Smoke Buddies:
https://www.amazon.com/Eco-Four-Twenty-Personal-Filter/dp/B07GL8GQBW/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3T8GUK89CVKOL&keywords=eco+four+twenty&qid=1570117248&sprefix=eco+four%2Caps%2C332&sr=8-4
Last just as long by my experience and are much cheaper overall.
A couple options.

Okay 4 plants with good genetics can yield just as much weed as 6 plants with lesser genetics.
So here is what I recommend.
Tent: 4x4 minimum with 5x5 preferred because it gives you room to walk in the tent which saves your back and also gives you room for extra equipment inside the tent, buy Vivosun they are good quality and have excellent zippers.
Seeds/breeders: Dinafem and Dutch Passion are excellent breeders you can buy both from Dinafem.
https://www.dinafem.org/en/
Grow Light: Depending on how large of a yield you want you have several options.
500 Watt Samsung LED.

320 watt Samsung LED.
If you want more than 500 watts in a 4x4 or 5x5 you can buy more than one of these lights and hang them side by side.

Is there anything else I can help you with?
Has anyone ever used the air purifying charcoal bag things (like this) in their gym bag or shoes? Thoughts? I don't have an outdoor space to lay the bags in the sun... wondering if they'd be able to recharge on my window ledge.

Buying 3 air filters would help and that's what I am currently doing , but with 2 air filters + opening window for 30-40 minutes. If you have $200, then that is probably your answer. I am, however, looking for a more efficient way like you.
I like this glove deodorizer I got off amazon, I wipe down the inside of my gloves with the same mixture as you once a week. I usually spray my shoes down with this deodorizer daily. I have a bunch of these mini deodorizers that I put in my gym bag + sneakers on my way home. Haven't had one foul smell emerge from my bag/gear to date so I think I'm doing everything right lol.
ETA: I wash all my clothing (socks, shirts, leggings/shorts)/sports bras with a odor eliminator along with laundry detergent as well.
I use these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0099K6OVQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This is my first time growing, so please feel free to critique/rip into my setup, as I really appreciate all the help and knowledge! I actually ordered my seeds from JAHseeds a year ago, but never got my shit together enough to actually do anything with them.
 
I do want to take a quick moment to thank u/AFK_ing for the seeds first, as they were actually gifted to me for free. I placed an order on a whim one night, and then completely forgot about it. Turns out that JAHseeds never ended up depositing the interac transfer I sent them, so it inevitably expired. I had forgotten about the order completely, when out of the blue one day I received a letter in the mail complete with 12 free seeds and a handwritten 'apology' letter. This absolutely floored me, and left me feeling super warm and fuzzy inside. I've been cherishing the seeds up until now, so I'm really really happy that I can finally bring them to life :) Anyways....thank you JAHseeds!
 
Onto the setup! Currently running:
 
2x alibaba 240w QB
 
Promix HP + 2inch layer of worm castings on the bottom
 
Strain is The Best My seeds are not feminized however, so still unsure of sex.
 
Right now they are in 1 gallon pots and I'm planning on moving them into 7 gallon fabric pots when the time is right.
 
I kinda went ham one night and bought the entire GH nutrient lineup (including all the additives....) so I'm planning on sticking to their schedule (halved) throughout the grow. I know I could have done without a lot (most) of them, but yeah it was still cheaper than buying an Oz from the LP....Currently only feeding them water.
 
The tent is a GA 48x48x80, with a Vivosun 6 inch duct fan and carbon filter
 
Holmes Lil' Blizzard fan (this thing moves a lot of air)
 
I originally had a smaller tent so I started out germinating 3 seeds by dropping them in a glass of water for 36 hours. After they all popped, I planted them directly into coco pots. At that time I decided to change to a larger tent, so I dropped 2 more seeds into a glass of water to germinate. 36 hours later one of the seeds had popped, but not the other. I planted the one that popped, and left the other in the water for another 12 hours. At this time it still hadn't popped, so I just dropped it into a pot with the others. The one that never popped didnt end up coming through the soil until about 2 days ago (I was actually just about to give up on it). It's the tiny coco pot in the middle. Pretty sure it's gonna be a retard plant but whatever, I'll give it some love and care. Don't tell Justin. The nice healthy plant on the bottom right is the other seed that I germinated with it at the same time.

tl;dr i love you all
What about heat/humidity? Bugs? I don't know how people store gear outside without having to deal with too many hassles. You have a spare bathroom which is more than a lot of people.
Companies make smaller ozone emitters, but I thought there was also questions about health risks and how it may prematurely breakdown your gear.
If you spray your gear down with antibacterial spray after every use and allow it to air dry, smell should be minimal or non-existent. Wash protective 1-3 times per season, jerseys/socks/base layers after every use, then put charcoal/deodorizers in your bag/gloves/skates to further reduce smell/improve freshness.
It's about being preventative with smell, not reactive
Here are the charcoal bags I use: https://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Charcoal-Purifying-Eliminators-Angbo/dp/B07QHT1GHS/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=14W722MHDSS1E&keywords=charcoal+air+purifying+bag&qid=1566925672&s=gateway&sprefix=charcoal%2Caps%2C395&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExM0UzMzJKQ05DUFhZJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzU0OTg2MVA2OTRLTldFUUwyMCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNjUxOTExM0RROTNQWDRLWENFVyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

Get a straight up carbon filter fan combo like they use for growing, trust me, if it filters my grow it's going to filter smoke well enough. They last about a year for my grow, the fan will last a lot longer so you'll only need to replace the filter later on. just keep the door closed and keep it running a while after you smoke, you could even route the filtered air outside.

I haven’t used a Smoke Buddy before but I’ve had good success with Sploofy. Just thought I’d throw it out there in case you were looking to try a different brand.
Here’s a link for it, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N6GKC2B/
Buy a pair of these - it's what I stick inside my gym shoes (I have ultra sweaty feet) and it makes my shoes smell fresh as a daisy.
For a 4x4 one of these will do the job fine. https://www.amazon.com/VIVOSUN-Australia-Charcoal-Pre-Filter-Reversible/dp/B01731MLFK/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=vivosun+carbon&qid=1558403068&s=gateway&sr=8-4
If this is a long term hobby or in prohibition land and/or you have the funds. Black ops are the best on the market.
But also depending on where you are venting. YOu may grabs some plants that can help mask the smell
Best of luck!
And just in case, here's what I use. It's even a 2-pack! 😆
MOSO NATURAL Mini Air Purifying Bag Shoe Deodorizer. Odor Eliminator for Gym Bags, Sneakers and Sports Gear Charcoal Color 2 pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0099K6OVQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_sAt5CbD8VB09T
These charcoal bags work wonders.
Probably about the same. I cover/smother the bowl with my hand or an index card at the end of each hit so mostly only smoke I exhale ends up in the air. It saves you lots of weed too. After it is smothered, I keep my hand there on top of the bowl, then I then clear the bong by inhaling that little bit of smoke that is trapped under my hand in the bowl. And if you want to go one step further, get a sploofy to exhale into and then you would have no smoke! This is how I smoke at hotels lol. There is still a smell, but not as much as letting the smoke go everywhere, let alone as bad a joint or blunt. And it's easy to air out the room by just opening a window.
not sure what your budget is but if you wanna guarantee it buy a small carbon filter and inline fan used for growing, 4" fan and carbon filter are around 80-100$. have that in the room you're smoking in, and it'll recirculate the air through the filter and leave no smell. literally, no smell, it filters dank plants in flowering and will filter smoke too easily.
https://www.amazon.com/VIVOSUN-Inline-Control-Australia-Charcoal/dp/B01MSEVQ3J/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1537117695&sr=8-3-fkmr0&keywords=carbi%5Con+filter+inline+fan
this will do. if you run a duct from it to the other side of the room 5-6 ft, you'll have a whole room circulation going on filtering the air.
if i was in illegal state i'd use this for the room i smoked in. well, also for the room i grow in too, but whatevs
Check out the Smoke Buddy or the Sploofy. They eliminates smell by using a carbon filter, a mini version of what they use on grow ops to eliminate smell. Lasts around 3-500 uses. The Spoofy has a replaceable filter inside. I prefer the SB because they have a Jr version which is great for portability...I'm a server and I use it to vape my hopper in the bathroom stall with zero smell. But if that's not a concern then the spoofy is great because it has replaceable filters, where the SB you have to buy a whole new unit. They all eliminate the smell very well to nothing.

Well, my grow is a LOT larger than a closet but the principal is the same.
I have a bigass inline fan that sucks the air from inside the room out into my attic and the carbon filter is attached in the attic.
So basically I am sucking the smell out of the room, thru the carbon filter and out into the attic.
This creates a negative pressure in the room so the smell actually gets sucked BACK INTO the room. You can stand at the door to my grow and not smell a thing.
Your setup should be similar, just with much smaller parts

Try hockey/sports deodorizer sprays and moisture absorbers (bamboo charcoal, cedar chip, desiccant)

The deodorant brand Secret came out with this little portable ball of deodorant. I always have one with me. I don't mind sweating nearly as much if I know that I smell somewhat decent.
Face mist
I cut my hair to shoulder length and got an undercut. It's on the extreme side, but I love not having a mess of hair to deal with.
Shoe deodorizer if you have to wear close toed.
None of the maintenance solutions I'm about to suggest to you work with an already super stinky pair in my experience but this is okay! As far as I know Ocun doesn't have any leather shoes so you should be fine taking the nuclear option and scrubbing the inside with rubbing alcohol. While I don't know the particular chemical make up Ocun uses for their rubber, many rubbers lose elasticity through prolonged exposure to alcohol so don't do this every day.
The general recommendations I see are either [Boot Bananas] (http://www.bootbananas.com/shop/) or Mini Moso's (I use these).
As for the stink being particular to your brand, well I don't know it to be notably stinky but certainly synthetics tend to hold stink far more than leather does. If you're willing to deal with the stretching issues for sizing you might consider making your next pair leather.
Ive got this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FBMJK9Y/ref=oh_aui_i_d_old_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1&th=1
They will remove all the odor from the air, but both in different ways.
Air purifier
Air de-ionizer
I thought I added a link my bad https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CTM0H1S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got these Mini Moso Natural Air Purifying Bags.
They are essentially the same thing (bamboo charcoal) without the essential oils (add a few drops if it's necessary) or the hefty price.
They've made a huge difference. My shoes smell a lot less, and more importantly, my bag no longer stinks like hell. I no longer fear putting other clothing in it. I still occasionally spray the insides of my shoes with cheap unflavored vodka, but these mini moso things have made a huge difference.
Oh, FYI the riveted hole isn't big enough for a biner. I just tied them together with loop of spare cord.
These charcoal-based deodorizers get rave reviews. I haven't used one of these, but I have used a similar thing filled with cedar shavings to great success.

From my limited understanding of air, I think air filters with an ionizer or UV would be what you want rather than an ozone generator. Something like this thing.
I seem to recall ozone is not particularly good for you to breathe in.
I use these and have no issues, also helps out in gym bags that smell.

The idea is that he exhales through the carbon filter and it removes most of the smell.
All I can tell you is - follow the universal truth - You get what you pay for. Of course there are a few exceptions, I've found great quality products for cheap, but those gems are far and few between right?
That being said, you are on the right track. After reading reviews I ended up going with this filter and then I got this fan and so far they've been great. The speed controller is a nice touch. When it comes to carbon filters, they are mostly all the same in terms of design, so if you go with a cheaper brand to save 10 bucks I really don't think you'll be hurting yourself or your set up, but things like fans, mechanical devices, i wouldn't cheap out on.
Thanks on the tip regarding static. I bought one oh these bad boys to add to the setup.

A must have for people who "can't" smoke indoors. I previously used a smoke buddy, but they don't last that long and aren't replaceable. Found this gem and its design is far superior, and has replaceable filters (which outlast a standard smoke buddy- a replacement filter is $7 for 500 uses, a new smokebuddy is $20 for 300).
​
I vouch for this product with my utmost sincerity- it works perfectly, filters out 100% of the smoke and smell. Keep in mind it will still smell a bit if you're using anything but a bong (which has minimal smoke not going into your lungs, and therefore not into the filter)
Here is what I am using.

I also bought some MDF board, and built a box for the fan to go into. It was a little louder than I wanted it to be, so now it's really quite. I will add a picture for you to check it out.

This is the one I have. It's basically a little pouch of activated carbon that helps remove the litter box odor from the air. You can also try those baking soda filter boxes too.

This got me through 2 flower runs before I replaced the filter. Fan is still going strong.
Sure, here's a 6" Vivosun blower for $55. Here's one with a carbon filter and speed controller included for $119. There are higher quality blowers available, but these ones are pretty good for the price point.
I got some charcoal bags that are designed to go into shoes and get rid of the smell. It's worked really well. https://www.amazon.com/Moso-Natural-Purifying-Deodorizer-Eliminator/dp/B0099K6OVQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=DX9OIZ9W0MTC&keywords=charcoal+bag+shoes&qid=1551207351&s=gateway&sprefix=charcoal+bag+sho&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1
Based on the specs the Active Airclean captures 99.95% of particles down to 0.5 microns. The HEPA is 99.99% down to 0.3 microns. You should be able to find some charts to see what types of particles would fall in this range. Pet dander should be caught fine on either of these. 0.5 microns is the lower end range for bacteria.
I have a Miele S5 with the HEPA. With 2 dogs and a cat though, I'll be trying the Active Airclean filter as I get some pet smells when I run it.
I've also seen it suggested to put one of these in the dust collection bin. While it'll help with odors and let you use a HEPA as well, it also takes up some space in there.
Get yourself one of these. They last forever too.

I would like an Air Purifier because as a lot of people may know, I'm a crazy cat lady lol. But I'm actually allergic to cats (and dogs and most pets) :) but I can't help myself, and I get allergies all year round, in the name of my pets lol. I'm actually fostering a stray cat and her precious tiny newborn kittens :) I love it, lol but the extra fur doesn't love me!

This is the filter and this is the fan. The fan says 351 CFM but I couldn't find the rating for the filter. One person in the questions said it was 400 CFM though.

One of these. They're quite cheap and effective.
Haven't tried it with my hydration pack yet, but I got some little charcoal bags to put in my gym bag with my sweaty clothes. They work surprisingly well.
Sometimes that funk just doesn't go away. I've had it happen with other clothing, but not a gi yet.
If the vinegar didn't work to get the smell out I would just continue to wash it regularly (after every roll). Also try drying it in a dryer on the very lowest heat setting, or "air dry" if you have that option, and throw in a few dryer sheets to try and absorb the smell.
You could also try charcoal. I bought these on Amazon and keep them in my gym bag.
I've read that Oxyclean is good for getting rid of stink. This is my routine for keeping them smelling clean:
