At 43° Sports, our mission is to make hockey cleaner, safer, and more convenient, no matter where the game takes you. That’s why our temperature controlled hockey bag is designed with versatile power options to fit your life on and off the ice.
Whether you’re at home, on the road, or out at a tournament, here are all the different ways you can power your 43° Hockey Bag to sanitize, dry, and eliminate odor from your gear.
1. Standard 120V Power Outlet
Best for: At home, in hotel rooms, or around the rink.
This is the most common and easiest way to use your bag. Just plug into any standard wall outlet, flip the switch to HOT or SANITIZE, and let the bag do the dirty work for you. Within hours, your gear will be completely dry, sanitized, and odor free, ready for your next skate.
Pro tip: This is the perfect setup for drying overnight in your hotel room or preheating before a morning skate.
2. DC Power Inverter: Car Adapter
Best for: On the go sanitizing, road trips, and tournaments.
Want to start drying gear on the drive home or preheat on the way to the rink? You can plug the bag into your vehicle using a DC power inverter (car adapter). All you need is a converter that supports 300 watts or more.
Here’s a recommended for an affordable option on Amazon that works great with the 43° Bag:
Tournaments can be long and grueling, but now you don’t even need to go back to your hotel between games. Clean and dry your gear right from your trunk.
3. External Power Bank (Portable Battery)
Best for: Outdoor rinks, long travel weekends, or when outlets are hard to find.
Looking for a more mobile solution? We highly recommend external camping-style batteries like the Jackery 1000.
We used this exact setup at the Wish Cup in Nashville, powering multiple bags at once, all day long, without running out of juice. It’s compact, reliable, and ideal for tournament weekends or remote rinks.

4. Solar Generator
Best for: All-day tournament play, warm weather events, and eco-friendly operation.
The Jackery 1000 Plus comes with a solar panel kit, allowing you to power your bag using the sun. At the Wish Cup, we used this system to maintain full battery levels while keeping multiple bags running in rotation. It was a clean, efficient, and completely off-grid solution to gear sanitation.
Pros like Itan Chavira and Brett Robinson were able to keep their gear tournament-ready all weekend long at the Wish Cup powered by sunlight alone.
5. Gas or Propane Generator
Best for: Outdoor rinks, pond hockey tournaments, and remote frozen locations with no electricity.
For the ultimate off grid setup, a small gas or propane generator works perfectly to power your 43° Hockey Bag in even the harshest winter conditions.
This past winter, we proudly sponsored the Evergreen Pond Hockey Championships and the Georgetown Pond Hockey Tournament in Colorado. We set up the 43° Warming Hut, where we ran multiple bags and a space heater all day long powered entirely by a single propane tank or a few gallons of gas.
Whether you’re posted up on a frozen lake or battling a blizzard, your gear can stay warm, dry, and ready to go. We’ll be adding video and photos from these snowy events so you can see the setup in action — and the steam rising from freshly warmed gear in the middle of winter.
There’s no such thing as “no outlet” with a 43° Bag if you can skate there, you can power it there.
5. Preheat at Home: Stay Warm on the Go
Thanks to our heavy-duty insulation and fabric, the 43° Sports Bag retains heat incredibly well. When preheated, it only loses 2–5°F per hour, depending on outside conditions.
That means you can plug in at home, warm your gear, and still arrive at the rink with gloves, skates, and pads ready to go, even after a long bus ride or traffic delay.
Perfect for goalies, who love the feel of warm gear that’s already broken in and game-ready.
One Bag, Endless Possibilities
No matter where hockey takes you, 43° Sports makes sure your gear stays clean, dry, and odor free, with all the power options to make it happen.
