Handy tip

[Biff600]

To kill off all the nasty germs and fungus' that can store itself in your sweaty gloves or mitts, pop the gloves into a freezer bag, seal it up, and pop it in the freezer for a day or two.

I do it regularly with motorcycle gloves

I wish I had known that a few years ago, after a very long and damp but warm ride to a motorcycle rally in Cornwall whilst wearing thermal lined leather motorcycle gloves I pitched my tent and enjoyed the festivities for the weekend ( Beer )before riding back......unbeknown to me a small cut in my hand had been soaking all manner of nasty things that had been breeding in my gloves on the ride down and back.....sadly ended up in hospital... with some sort of poisoning, good weekend though

Should I take them off first?

Now all you need is a fridge in your tent

Excellent idea, somewhere to keep the beer cool as well....

Depends if your freezer is big enough for you to get in.

Does the light go out when you close the door?

No light in a freezer, just the fridge.

As simple as this...

Plus one for washing them. Do it every ride for summer gloves

There is light in an industrial walk-in freezer

Freezing doesn't kill bacteria or fungal spores; it slows down the reproduction and growth. Any bacteria in your gloves will become active again when removed from the freezer. Wash 'em you mucky pup.

Wear latex gloves under your gloves.
You cant beat a bit of latex.
