Best Leather Waterproofing

By Gee Alsenz Ranked #639 - Men's Accessories January 29, 2009

A must-have for anyone who uses leather items outdoors. I use it on my Asolo TPS 520s, and it saved my butt when I hiked the Long Trail in VT (wet and steamy). It is also priceless for all leather gloves.

A tip for application: spread it on with your fingers, forget about the mess factor, and make sure to get into the seams. If you're working on gloves, turn on your oven and bake the gloves @ 200F for 1 min per side. Let em dry overnight and repeat. Guess what? You've just turned a pair of insulated work gloves @ $15/pr into a $150 waterproof pr of Hestra ski gloves sans brand name. Nicely done sir.
