cleaning ur gear?

[SRTurbo04]

Ok random how do you all clear ur gear? Mainly ur leather jackets? I don't want to just throw it in the washer an ruin it. So how do you all do it? Any tricks to keeep from shrinking or fading?

 

 

Also how often do you all wash ur gear?

I never wash mine. I only ride with a textile jacket as far as gear goes. Helmet is wiped down. What else do you ride with?

go to the auto parts store or wilsons leather, or a boot store.. hell iron pony should have stuff too, get a nice leather cleaner, clean, then condition with a nice leather conditioner.

 

you can also get a soft bristle for leather to help get the dirt out.

 

i usually use warm water and a microfiber towel and work some areas, then warm water and microfiber towel with some leather cleaner. work it in, let it sit a few minutes, then wipe with clean towel and warm water, then dry with clean towel.

 

then after that apply leather conditioner.

 

i did both mine and the wifes leather jackets right before winter, even though they werent dirty really. hell hers was brand new, but keeping them moisturized prolongs the leather. and helps with the breakin as well

+1...also if the jacket is really filthy, like bugs caked on and shit, I'll take it to the car wash, hang it on the mat clip and power wash on the soak setting, let it hang dry and use a good conditioner on it afterwards...I've had the same jacket for years and never had any issues in doing this...just make sure to remove the pads first. I only do this though at the end of the season before i put the gear away for the winter...
