For Veritex (or any leather) ski glove, get yourself a tube of this:

Put your gloves on, put a healthy dollop on the palm of the glove and then just rub your hands together like you are washing them, working the cream into the gloves. Repeat as required.

My main issue is damp gloves from sweaty hands. Its rank, annoying and makes my gloves stink. No real solution to that though so I take a few pairs of gloves with me and change them during the week.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Mike-H, lovely whiff you get when you put the gloves on the radiator too. Just add a couple of ski socks for the full experience.

@irie, Hold on a minute. I may sweat a tad on the mountain but I have never 'leaked' in the man veg department.

@Mike-H, try putting a teabag into each glove overnight. Soaks up the moisture.

I could ring them out and have a cold cup of Tetley.
Uuuughh. That would be disgusting.

I love my Hestra gloves. So warm. Even look good stained with gluwein.

For sweaty hands, again, the pile lined gloves dry much quicker than those with standard insulation. Something to bear in mind.

Staying on the subject of sweaty hands. Would it help to wear silk glove liners and wash them each night or would liners make it worse?

Surely the answer to sweaty hands is to wear thinner gloves 
|

You know it makes sense.

@RobW, In -15 degrees. Think id rather sweat than freeze.

Much like the guy from Meribel, the lifties in the PdS wear sheepskin lined leather gloves (yellow rather than tan), I found them in the MACO DIY store in St Jean D'Aulps. They are EUR 14.5, which is about 11 quid. I bought some in December, I have used them all season so far, and they are excellent. I have been skiing since 1986, and these are probably the best and by far the cheapest gloves I have had.

I've got sweaty hands as they are almost always too hot. I take the liners out of my Hestras to dry every night.
Don't put leather gloves on a radiator. Anywhere in a warm room will get them dry overnight.
