Treating leather gloves?

Post by AllanCook »

So I've got these fantastic BMW AirFlow2 gloves and I love 'em. But they see an awful lot of high heat and humidity here in sunny Tejas, so they are constantly getting wet, drying out, getting wet again. You get the picture. Because I don't like replacing $100 gloves every summer, I'd like to keep them serviceable as long as I can. What, if anything, do y'all do to keep your leather gloves supple and clean? I'm thinking Lexol, but I thought I'd see what y'all do first.

My wife and I both like leather gear,glove's,boots,jacket's and on.We follow the old saying if you find something that work's stick with it.Years of using Harley Davidson leather care cream and it has never left us down on leather of any kind including saddle bags.I do sugest never to dry your gloves with heat.At $9 a bottle and you most likly past a dealership somewhere how can you go wrong.I mean this crowd knows leather.Expect a bottle to last a year for sure.
