I'm glad the smalls fit her. The last one's I sent were a mess from a size perspective.

Trust me there are blems. Obviously you are not as anal retentive as I am. Mostly you would need to see them up against a set of gloves that passed QC. I could easily point out the differences. But good to know these aren't far off. At least no one will think you are riding in hacked up garden gloves

Side note, I have had several requests for XXL, so I will make sure to order some XXL in the next round and keep some in stock.

I'll have to check. I sent something to Canada a few weeks back. Maybe $6-8?


Edit: $9.50 to Canada

They fit like a glove!

Got mine yesterday. Used them today and LOVE them.
Went for a 50 mile ride, it was a really nice and fairly warm day and since I sweat easily they got a little wet but it didn't bother me at all, didn't even feel it.
Glad I ordered another pair for my wife

What a great deal. Thanks Jason.

Another question about heat/sweat/etc. I am not the least bit concerned about them being too warm, but I am concerned about sweat. My sweat in particular. In the past, my sweat has destroyed leather gloves after first turning them stiff.

So, what can anyone tell me about the longevity of these in the face of thermonuclear sweat? Is there a cleaning/maintenance trick for keeping them comfy and useful for the long haul? Like maybe saddle soap, or neatsfoot oil, or baseball mitt stuff? Thanks in advance.

Cuero gloves the obvious choice for couriers all around the world!


Got em this morning and i really like em. The only imperfection i could find on em was a small coffee stain but that may be my own doing .)
Makes you wonder what the finished product will look like if these didn't make the cut.. They look and feel super!

Thanks again!
Björn

FWIW, I can see at least two issues in this picture. That being said, I'm glad they made it to Sweden and you like them! Thanks for the pic

Heavy sweat that is not cleaned will cause them to deteriorate faster. The salt from the sweat is what does it. To help slow this process, my suggestion is that if you have a really sweaty ride, then rinse your hands in cool water while wearing the gloves. You don't need any soap, just rinse your hands and try and get rid of the salt. Lay the gloves out to dry and they will be fine.

During testing I specifically didn't give any cleaning instructions to my testers. Some of them babied them, others threw them in the washing machine and dryer. The gloves have all held up and been fine. The worst damage happened with no cleaning and was because of the salt. So rinsing them off will help the longevity the most.

All that said, rinsing them will strip some of the natural oils from them. Hitting them with a leather conditioner every once in a while to add some of that back is a good idea. You don't have to do it every time, but once in a while is definitely beneficial. I have been testing the Leather Milk conditioner I sell for months on half a pair of gloves and it makes a difference. The conditioned gloves is not as crunchy as the non-conditioned. But neither are terrible. But again, I am not a super heavy sweater, but some of my testers definitely are.
