Crazy thought, and just off the top of my head like , but, if your only concern is that your hands niff after the gloves get wet have you thought about washing your hands and leaving the gloves alone until you can splurge on a new pair?

And for those instance when your on a ride out and have niffy sausage fingers you could acquire a couple or 3 KFC moist towelettes

Crumbs.... there's a lot of doom and gloom up there ^^^.

I had the same problem with my Alpinestars 365s making my hands stink: they've been rain soaked a good few times now (then left wet all day at work) and since they're only 6months old there's no farking way I'm replacing them!

I, errm, bunged them in a basin of warm water with some persil liquid and gave them a damn good wash. Rinsed them out thoroughly and let them dry on a folded towel, on a radiator. They're still as soft as they ever were and they no longer reek. First time wearing them again they felt a little tight but they soon stretched out.

Perhaps I got lucky? Or perhaps they're not as sensitive as you might think??
