Hey Gang, I recently purchased a KISA armguard and NEET cordovan trad glove from 3Rivers. Love them both. Very surprised with the glove as I just bought it to kind of get the feel for that style (I was planning on getting a Bateman later). Was wondering what everyone uses for weather protection on their Leather goods. I know what I've used in the past, (Paste Wax, Montana Pitch Blend), but am looking some really knowledgable help, thanks, J   :campfire:

Pitch blend is awesome stuff. Neatsfoot oil too. Anytimne I sit to watch tv I usually break out my leather and oil boots, tabs, sheaths, etc.

I like Sno-Seal with Bees wax. Put it on hit it with a hair drier.....go to go, no sent either!

Bowhunting is a passion, not an obsession. Its just hard for my wife to tell the difference sometimes.
