How to Machine Wash Snowboard Gloves

Washing snowboard gloves is a process that can be hard to commit to. On the one hand, you don't want to do anything that will affect the waterproofing or on-hill performance. On the other hand, stale, rank gloves can really become nauseating to look at, let alone wear. Snowboard gloves are generally designed to be machine washed, and washing can even help to protect the waterproofing by preventing dirt from affecting it. Wash your snowboard gloves as needed to keep them clean and functional.
