Waterproofing spray for leather

[Jack5r]

Are these any good? Do the damage the leather at all.

I want to use with my jacket and suede boots.

I have never used that product, but if I needed leather spray I would buy it. There are 66 positive reviews (59 are 5 and 4 stars) by people who have.

My leather jacket is perforated and has cloth stretch panels so no amount of spray will make it waterproof!

If it's black leather a friend said just use boot polish over it.

But then you'll be shiny as f**k!

I fail to see the problem...

A set of waterproofs under your seat would be much more effective.

never used anything like that.. over the years a decent quality saddle soap has been my cleaner and to an extent proofer of choice. i say to an extent because no proofer will stop water penetrating the stitching.. especially if you're riding a motorcycle through the rain, heavy rain.

if you insist on wearing leather in the rain.. either splash out on leather with a bonded gore-tex layer (2nd mortgage time).. or cover up with waterproofs. nothing else will keep you dry in a heavy downpour. certainly nothing that sprays on.. I couldn't care less what these handbag owners say in the reviews. and boots? have practically zero in common with a leather jacket.
