Washing gloves

mikeyj28

Can i put my 661 Raji gloves in the wash?
Reason being is that they are a bit grubby/snotty/muddy but there is nothing wrong with them so i don't want to buy new ones.
If not then how can i clean them as i cant keep wiping old snot over my nose/forehead.

40 degree wash will be fine. They will shrink a little, but stretch back when you wear them.

Will it ruin the leather or be pretty much ok? I'll chance it in the washer on delicate

They'll be fine. The leather on gloves is pretty tough

I wash mine every few rides, and after every wet/muddy ride. Probably seen 20 washes no problems so far. Not bothered with delicates or any of that sort of stuff. Straight in with the rest of my riding gear.

If you're concerned, just wash them by hand in a bit of soapy water.

My 661 Gloves have been fine, as have my Troy Lee ones... My Oakley ones however, with leather fell apart I presume due to the washing detergent used.... I'd put them on a lower temp if you were worried. 40 degrees maybe a little too hot for leather... :0)

My synthetic fox gloves have been fine, i had the same gloves for 4 years. The washing instructions on My oakley fat pilots on the other hand state " washing instructions, do not wash!"

I've had some Raji' gloves for a couple of years, always just chucked them in the wash with the rest of my gear.

Now get those mingin' gloves washed!

The label on mine was as long as my credit card bill so I cut it out, before reading the instructions.... d'oh...
