westcoastsniper 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 I've baked my crappy itech's in my own oven for a few minutes a couple of times, they are fake leather but I like the feel of gloves when they are almost falling apart... which is the state that they are in now. of course if I was using 100+ $ gloves I probably wouldn't be so cavalier about roasting them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

troy 12 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 Most gloves these days can be baked, that's usually a good way to start the break-in process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uclahockey707 1 Report post Posted October 29, 2009 just wear them. you dont need any special treatment. just skate in them and playNah man, the reason I ask is because I have really long fingers that smash into the gussets on most brand new gloves, which is really uncomfortable and screws with the feel of the stick, so I like to accelerate the break-in process a bit. To everyone who suggested baking, it was a great idea and really loosened them up and they fit great now. Thanks for the great advice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
