I usually twist mine like I'm wringing out a wash cloth, and roll them up a few times. Not sure I'd resort to some sort of leather treatment/softener though. I'd be nervous that the abrasion resistance might not be there if you need it, because they've become TOO soft.

I use gloveoleum, Rawlings brand. A baseball glove softener. It works great. It's obviously meant for baseball gloves but it does wonders for softening any leather. It also conditions and cleans. I do my leathers with it after a track day so the leather doesn't harden. It's like $4 for a bottle and will seem to last months!
Oh it's available at any fine sports retailer near you. Heck I think even Walmart has it.

thanks for the info gentlemen.. I'll have to reconsider as I dont want to lessen the impact resistance it was designed for... Although I WONT be going down its just good to know.

Making the leather softer shouldn't lessen the wear properties. I have always been told that leather that is more plyable, is less likely to tear.
