Quinn Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 What do you use to clean and condition your riding gloves? I've got a pair of "waterproof" gloves drying out beside the woodstove and wonder if there's some type of treatment I should be using to keep them flexible, waterproof, and sweet smelling. --- Link to comment
pokorskij Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Here is a link to the Held glove website on care of Held gloves. No association just remembered that they had instructions on their website. http://www.heldusa.com/glove_care.html From my own experience, air drying without heat is the best for all leather. In the case of riding gloves, they may feel stiff after drying but once worn after they soften up even more than prior to being wet. Link to comment
Lmar Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I have used Propert's All Purpose cleaner and conditioner. Kiwi also has a leather lotion that restores the oil in leather. Any good leather conditioner should work. Link to comment
Foxy Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Lexol makes a good leather cleaner and a leather treatment. Have used this product with non-insulated leather gloves (and boots, jackets, etc) to help clean and preserve them. With the insulated stuff, the Held directions seem to be pretty much on target. Also, air drying instead of heat drying seems to be better as was pointed out above. Foxy Link to comment
PLW Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I've got a pair of winter gloves that I've been wearing for close to thirty years. All I've done is wear them, but I've been CAREful not to lose them. Link to comment

I cannot recommend using a microwave to dry them........tried that once on a trip and regretted it! Link to comment
gocatgo Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Pecard's leather dressing is the best I have ever used by far. Link to comment
