    Waterproofing leather gloves

    I know that you can't 100% waterproof leather gloves.

    I want to add a coat of waterproofing to the leather around the cuff because it has begun losing color due to rain.

    Any suggestions on a product and has anyone had any issues with these kinds of waterproofing products before?

    Cow saliva is the answer, obviously, otherwise cows would swell up every time it rains.

    Color has nothing to do with waterproofing ... and waterproofing wont change the color.

    Any waterproofing will last about 20 minutes (if that) into a rain shower.

    Buy waterproof over gloves ...

    There is a 100% guaranteed way to keep hands dry in leather gloves. It's called Toyota Corolla

    Def overmitts. I thought they'd be a bloody nuisance until I was lent a pair to try while riding through cyclone Debbie. I never travel without a pair now.

    I have some overgloves, but they're a pain to put on and wear. Last winter I invested in a set of Barkbusters Blizzard hand guards. They're not really guards, more covers. They're soft-ish and not only do they keep my hands warm, they keep the rain off my semi waterproof gloves. I hardly even need to dry them after a commute in the rain.
