Any tips on drying the inside of gauntlets? I use them to carry fur to the truck, for example. They are long, of course. Easy to rinse out, but tough to dry the inside. Also they get kinda sticky with sweat. Rinsing the outside off after handling fur isn't so hard, it's keeping the inside nice & dry that can be a challenge.

Dry mine with a boot dryer with extensions, if gloves are still to long roll em up a bit. Also if room while wearing slip on a pair of thin gloves, you can switch them out as needed.

When I'm on the line one trick is to pour some hot water from thermos into a small pop bottle and place inside the gloves, the heat will dry a lot of sweat and your good to go on the day.

And you can throw one of those cheap plastic grocery bags over whatever it is you're trying to dry. It traps the heat and forces it down before it can escape the bag.

Some good ideas.

1 thing I've been pondering is creating a way to hang them above a floor heat duct in my bathroom...maybe hang from a towel bar with a clothes pin or something.

I dry wool socks on my boot dryer with no ill effect. Low heat, air circulation and time.
