Re: Water proofing 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.

Re: Water proofing leather gloves
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.

Re: Water proofing leather gloves
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.

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