I've used Snoseal literally for 35 years. In the days before Gore-Tex, I would vigorously rub in 3 coats with a low-temp bake in the oven in between to soak the leather.
Now on my Gore-Tex boots I just apply a light coat rubbed in with the warmth of my hand to condition the leather only.

Snow Seal is great for boots. I do use Montana Pitch Blend more though.

Like others I use Snow Seal with 3 coats and hair dry them on every coat.It works fine for a couple of day in the rain when I hunt elk in the Rockies on my Russell.

I use Sno-Seal and Montana Pitch Blend. They both seem to work well. I use the Filson stuff too.

I used to use snow seal. Then I found Obenaufs and I've never gone back.

I found a product that works well for me called Bear Guard. It is made in Maine and is made from bees wax and bear fat. I used it last year and thought it did a much better job than sno seal which I've used for years.

Snow Seal and Montana Pitch Blend were my leather care products of choice, but I read Scott Teaschner's dissertation on leather care in the sponsors classifieds and bought the two products. Still in the jars at this point, but today is the day I planned to try it out. I like his comment that one good app. will last a season. He seems like a guy who knows whereof he speaks.

The Kenetrek Boot Wax that Scott talked about is very good for rubber rand boots, as well as for other boots. I have used Snow Seal for many years too, but it definitely collects dirt and grime, as do various other products. I will probably be ordering some of the products Scott sells.
