What waterproofing stuff do you use? I dont want my boots or gloves to wear faster because of them getting wet.

Thanks.

 

Mink oil

 

Baby seal blubber.

 

^^^ Really an unnecessary picture. ^^^







I wouldn't treat it with anything, I ride all the time rain/snow with my leather. Have for 3 years with this current jacket and it shows minimal signs of wear. Don't sweat it, just ride.

 

^^ haha!

 

I clean my leathers with saddle soap. Other than not nadda and I've had one Jacket going on 6 years and the other 4 years and both still look great. Same with my boots and gloves but I tend to go thru gloves every couple of years.

 

I always use this on all my leather gear:


Oh & its also good for motorcycle jackets & boots. chuckle, chuckle.

 

I use mineral oil an all my hiking boots and leather.
The problem with riding gear is they put a layer of polyurethane on it and it won't soak up any oils or wax. When I buy my riding jackets I look for naked leather and water proof it with the mineral oil. The polyurethane makes the leather even, stiffer, shinny and some what water proof but also seals it.

 

Hahahahaha. Is that how you keep your gear so nice. I knew you had tricks up your sleeve.

 

only the best for my Dainese.
