No smell. They sit in the bed of my truck for the hour commute home as well as my saddle and helmet. Prevents the funk breeding bacteria. I have always worn gloves. I get better grip and have no issues gripping anything with my sweaty palms. One additional detail. I have 50% strength loss in my left hand from a crushing injury while cutting someone out of an overturned vehicle many years ago at the FD. Workman comp settled a 9k payout on my injury. I have managed to basically overcome the injury. I have 3 functional fingers and a thumb on my left hand. The middle finger looks like it was the surgeons first try at his craft. I also hate pine sap all over my sammich clams. Keeps my hands fairly clean and soft as well as protected from all sorts of crap. I use the atlas sticky gloves and feel naked without them. I will bow to the glove haters and submit that I am less of a manly man and climber whilst wearing my bitch mittens. Clean hands are nice when I have to change my pad when my feelings are hurt.
