    Smelly gloves

    Hey everyone,

    Us bikers that ride in all weather, will discover the smelly glove thing, im currently washing my Spidi H2OUT gloves and thought, hhhmmmmm i wonder what others do....????

    So what do you do? Do you wash them? Buy new gloves (rich bastards) or use something like neat feet???

    Cheers

    My ones don't smell!

    Then again, I have been riding in dry weather these days so that must explain it...

    Oh oops did I say that? I wasn't trying to rub it in your face or anything TS

    My gear is only a couple of months off hitting the "two years continuous riding without any washing" milestone.

    My co-workers insist that I stash it somewhere OUTSIDE the office. Mrs Random makes me hang it in the gargre.

    I'm trying to get it to the stage where I can whistle and it will trot up and put itself on.

    I thought ALL bikers were smelly little(or big) creatures, so how do you know when its just your gloves that are smelling?
    caint say I have noticed mine stinking THAT much, damp leather smell when wet, 'orrible damp hands in the Central heat of summer but not the smell factor you seem to achieve.

    Hmm ... Is that why my hands have this funny smell sort of like socks.

    Never have washed my gloves except in the rain when God did it for me.

    bad smells are caused by bacteria, either wash with anti bacterial/anti fungal solution, or alternatively use some gran's remedy in them, that stuff cures all ills even my teenager's feet and that is saying something
