some people will tell you to wash them
this does not help, there is a chemical in hand sweat that is only in hand sweat that is activated by anything that touches your hands repeatedly, it cannot be washed out, ever.
do not try, buy new gloves and fabreeze!
fo rilla!
ask your chem teacher, theyll tell you!

my gloves smell real bad too. but not as bad as my boots. those are just fucking terrible

i have yet to find something that makes them un-smelly though. maybe i should wash my hands more than like once every 2-3 days

i love smelly gloves.

I've been known to dangle mine from my rear view mirror as an air freshener. The bitches love it.

Agreed with the fabreeze and making sure you let your gloves dry after they get wet.

wear a cheap 99 cents pair of cotton gloves under your nice gloves. then, when your hands sweat, it will make your 99 cents pair of gloves smell, not your nice gloves smell. when the cheap gloves start to smeel really bad, buy another pair. voila

Make sure you dry them out straight away after a ski. If they're left wet they just go mouldy and stinky

First: By glove/mitt with liner
Second: After everytime you go skiing dry up your liners
third: wash them in the machine with your darks every once and a while
Fourth: if that does not work, bring them in to a cleaners, they will know what to do more then you would

Huh, the freezer idea is interesting. Chronic smell is usually from Bacteria, so freezing would probably kill a large amount of them actually. Washing is death for waterproofing of most gloves, so try the freeze method. And yeah, I always dry my stuff immediately after skiing, especially my liners in my boots (smelling those is like snorting rotten taint).

just don't throw them in your bag wet and let them grow mold, hang them up to dry.
also, you know those balls people put in their shoes to keep them from funking up? try them in your gloves.
