Is there anyway I can water proof leather gloves

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.

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.)?

what about that spray for suede and leather shoes?

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

Cheers Mark.
