Water proofing leather gloves

[Nick_69]

Is there anyway I can water proof leather gloves

[rictus01]

indeed there is, bees wax & linseed oil or get one of the makes that has those in it, will also increase the life of the leather, I do mine regularly.

Does work, but remember any ventilation holes in summer gloves will never be waterproof. ;)

Will that work around the non leather parts.

Which? I've got the nikwax all over the armour on my gloves and it's never done them any harm, I doubt any wax would tbh.

nik wax will get you a good 30minutes in HARD rain

Do the gloves have a waterproof and breathable lining? (Gore-Tex, Shelltex e.t.c.)?

[cringer]

what about that spray for suede and leather shoes?

This (http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/nikwax-tent-and-gear-solar-proof-500ml-camping-chemical-p135282) stuff is good for textile stuff, and This (http://www.renapur.com/SITE/home_1.asp) for leather, boots/gloves whatever.
