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.

Cheers Mark.

Or try this.

http://www.nikwax.com/en-gb/products...-1&fabricid=-1

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.

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

This stuff is good for textile stuff, and This for leather, boots/gloves whatever.

Cheers Mark.
