I've been using a set of track mitts which at the beginning didn't seem smell too bad. I've had them about 5 months now and I seem to need to wash them every time I ride. Without buying new gloves is there anything I can do?

    Dust them with Bicarb of Soda-works with shoes as well-and baking come to that.
    Whats the solution? Just pedal faster you baby.

    I would wash them after every ride anyway. You've just sweated into them for hours! How is this any different from a jersey, etc?

    Take them out of your pants?

    Tell people to stand well back when you use a pair of neoprene gloves?

    turn them inside out after you use them so they dry quicker and get a bit of an airing. I found they dont smell so quickly. also hand wash them inside out so they can be scrubbed. failing that put smelly hand in pocket and invest in a new pair!
