    Glove help

    went for my 1st ride today which was soo awesome. but my gloves i have brought ( new ) are a bit stiff. My mates reckons they will sofen up if you wear them around more. The trouble was indicating and tryin to move fingers around. Is there anyway to sofen the gloves faster?

    What kinda gloves are they? Leather? I'd say just through use... Wear them around home, try typing on the comp for a few hours that should do it!

    Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....

    Rub Bee's wax into them. Can buy it in tins from shoe shops... helps waterproof them as well as making them softer... Mine are Dririder ones...they're good...

    Just wear them in. Before long they'll feel like an old friend.
    Once they have got wet a few times and you have used them for a few hours they will fit better (mould to your shape).

    What FJrider said, always waterproof new gloves, it softens them & helps them mould to the shape of your hands.

    Kinda wondering the same thing myself. I have worn a lot of new gloves over the years and not one single pair has been 'stiff'. Are you sure they are not too small for ya?
