Slowly so the leather doesn't crack!

Yep. Hang them off a door or door frame, away from direct heat and sunlight

Sounds horrible Perkles, hope they dry out without ruining the fit of them on you

Happened to me in Dainese one piece first time I rode in it may years ago. As others said I let it dry out slowly and no adverse effects or damage to the suit.

Wait til the weather is dry and then go for a ride on the longest piece of motorway at the fastest speed possible.

I don't know why Perkles posted this. One of my earliest biking memories is sat at a set of traffic lights about a mile from home, having set out a few minutes before in glorious sunshine, now soaked to the skin telling Perkles I wasn't going out riding with him again as it always rained when we went out.

Stuff them full of newspaper and stick them in the airing cupboard overnight.

That's a pretty good idea as long as they don't dry too quickly. Maybe get some sort of leather conditioner for after if you don't have some already?

I've got some leather treatment cream if you need any

Yep....'leather softener' or whatever for car upholstery after they're dry. Or even just for regular use 'til they soften up....really made a huge difference on my admittedly lower grade suit. Worked even better on my Triumph two-piece, which was actually quite nice cowhide.

And my thong.
