You have obscenely sweaty hands. Try soaking in hot water with LOTS of washing powder in it. As for your hands, I dunno.. Odour Eaters?

Washing your hands wont do shit.

You sweat. Everyone sweats... Its the Body's way of staying cool.

Just air your gloves out each time you finish instead of putting them in the helmet or throwing them into a heap in the corner.. :yes:

Never had mine smelling... Other than when i am able to hit/run over something that stinks.... Damned you ya small bird..:facepalm:

That too, but I bought a wee bottle of Baby Talcum Powder when I was in the supermarket and rub some on my hands before putting my gloves on. Not all the time but pretty regular over summer when hands tend to get a bit sweaty, and in winter if they are starting to feel damp.

I use a little bit of foot powder (in the boots as well) stops the smell and helps with the sweat.

Not quite the same thing Maha. It's not normal to have "cheese 'n' chocolate" in your gloves.:no:

You can turn them around too,front to back, theres another couple of days. You should be able to get 4 days a pair,as long as there is no accidents.:yes:

Depending on where you park your bike you can leave the gloves near the engine somewhere (Between engine and fairing, or between engine and tank etc), dries them out and stops the "wet dog" smell.

I wear silk or polyester glove liners - pretty much always. These are easier to wash than the gloves.

and I use Grans Remedy for footwear in my gloves

This is my fav way to dry them each night. resting above the yoke where they get heat from the radiator seems the best spot for me

Having drinks at work :2thumbsup talking bout bikes etc and the ladies here reckon Grans Remedy is the go for smelly shoes (I didn't go into any more detail) Works a treat they reckon. I agree with one of the other guys here - have a couple of pairs and alternate. I do 100ks a day and get "the problem" . . .

I have a pair of winter gloves that got a bit whiffy. In the end I pulled the waterproof membrane out of one of them after the thermal liner became displaced, and that one doesn't stink anymore. I haven't had to ride much in the rain yet, but even if it gets wet, the thermal layer still works, so that solved the problem. I got them from Motomail in Ponsonby for $100 a couple of years ago. The brand is Technik.
