gloves are smelly :O

[EsPo]

yeah.. how on earth do you wash your paintball gloves? I dont know about you, but mine have developed a constant stink, and a sort of.. film.. whenever i put them on and take them off (even for a split second), my hands will feel all grungy and smell uber bad. They are 32* gloves and my mom said not to wash them :O

how do you get the stank out?

I'd try some of that shoe powder that eliminates moisture and odor. I think Gold Bond makes some good stuff.

Wash them... Moms saying not to wash them are talking about old school gloves that didn't take paint, sweat, and dirt all day.

i use Fox gloves, about 2 years old but look new. They smell like new and have only washed them about 5 times.

[AcemanPB]

Yeah I wash my gloves every couple of times I play paintball and they turn out fine.

(I have '03 DYE core gloves if that helps?)

i know what you mean, i had to wash my dye gloves cause every time i put them on it felt like i stuck my hands in a swamp. not to mention the smell... btu then again it could be my redz gear bag, its starting to give me flashbacks of my hockey days cause it smells like my hockey bag...

[Torbo]

could try hand washing them, it would be easier on the material

I've handwashed and machine washed my JT Rave 600 gloves.

They shrank a tiny bit, which feels a lot nicer now that it's more 'tactile'. Really clean. I was surprised that some people don't wash their stuff.

Washing gear is part of my ritual before and after playing.

You guys don't wash your gloves? EEEEEEw what is nasty.

I wash it every night after I play, no matter what.

Besides, most pb equip is non-*machine* wash. That doesn't mean that taking it out and hosing it down or hand washing it in your sink is going to hurt it any!

For the sake of the rest of us, please wash your smelly gear

(Besides it keeps it looking nicer, don't you hate having paint stained $60+ packs etc?)

Spray em with water from your garden hose, then wash em.

that smell is rotting pig parts and fish guts they use to make the balls and fill. wash those stinky pinky covers. i have had and washed (machine wash hot/cold) both jt and dye gloves. after a couple dozen washes the '02 dyes started to come apart...the velcro seperated from the rubber backing on the closure flap....no biggie though they still work, just trimmed the flapping rubber nub.
