    how do people wash them? By hand or just throw them in the washing machine?

    You can do either, as far as I know.

    But turn them inside out after using and let them air out rather than leave in your bag, if you don't want them to smell like the arse of a sweaty badger.

    Ah yeah, I air them out after using them but reckon they'll need a proper wash eventually.

    Had a gander and it seems you can do hand wash or machine wash.

    I used to find neoprene got particularly bad. Maybe that's just me...

    I washed mine over the weekend. Just threw some washing up powder into a bucket of hot water and left em soaking for a few hours. Good as new now.

    Was thinking hand washing would be safer, they ain't cheap.

    Mine have gone into a 40 degree wash every month for the past year and a half. Still good as new.

    Same as!

    I wash mine weekly in the washing machine at 40degrees and a year later they're still as good as new!

    Machine it is so!

    I take them in the shower with me after training - turn them inside out and rinse them under the shower. Then they air dry overnight. Simple enough and keeps them totally odour free for me.
