When you ride your motorcycle in the scorching heat and work up a sweat, your helmet gets soaked and your gloves get clammy.
If you then toss your gloves inside the helmet and leave it sitting there, well, that’s basically a bacterial paradise.
Sniff, sniff… sniff, sniff… hmm? Maybe I should just buy a new one.

Once you establish a solid storage method, it becomes easy and you can keep everything clean and in good condition.
As a result, things stay in great shape longer and you’ll enjoy using them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

First things first.

Most of you probably have several pairs of gloves for different seasons\u2014summer and winter varieties.
A glove hanger is perfect for storage.
The fingertips stay nicely open and it helps maintain their shape. You can hang them on a hanger or similar.
There are various glove hangers (golf-style ones) available for sale, so take a look for reference. They don’t cost much.
I use these myself. Individual ones are a bit cheaper. <\/a>
 There are lots of other options, so choose based on how you want to store them. <\/a>
Hanging them up is less prone to mold, I think. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daytona has released a long-awaited helmet deodorizer and dryer with plasma ions\u2014it works on gloves too. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appeal of this product is that it works on both helmets and gloves.
If it works on gloves, then boots should work too…

A really clever product!

I haven’t used this Daytona one myself, but it seems pretty good.
Does it warm things up?

I dry mine with a shoe dryer like this. <\/a>
In winter, warming up your helmet, gloves, and boots before you ride feels so good you could almost fall asleep.
\u03c6(..)Jotting that down.
The downside of this dryer is that it concentrates heat on the crown of the helmet…
But when you care for each piece with affection and keep it clean and organized, that mindset applies to everything.
