martlewis Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Every night I turn my textiles inside out and hang them outside to dry, you know how it is in this heat. But what do I do about sweaty gloves... Fabreeze gets rid of the smell but there's nothing worse than putting on damp gloves. Any suggestions?

techno Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Have never known summer gloves to have a problem like this If there lined gloves get yourself some summer gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martlewis Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 They're all weather leather ones which might explain it, I'll have to go shopping again but cash is running out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Airing cupboard or radiator...but I doubt you'll have any radiators on at the moment! For future reference though if you do put them on a radiator, say in winter, then be careful not to dry the leather out too quickly or it might crack.Maybe you could just hang them on the washing line? If there air's dry enough that might work. Though it's damned humid where I am, so could just stay the same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gloves cost a fiver off the chap I bought the bike off! I've got winter ones from J&S that were £25!J&S has a 20% sale on at the moment, and my mate just bought some decent J&S own brand summer gloves for under £30.

It's just knowing what size to get when you buy online. The textile ones I tried on were large but the leather I got are XL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
