    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..

    Never had mine smelling... Other than when i am able to hit/run over something that stinks.... Damned you ya small bird..
    The only stupid question is a question not asked!

    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.

    Give them a good air out and use some nice smelling moisturizer.

    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.

    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.
