Nikwax Glove Proof

Having used other Nikwax products with good results I was very pleased with the results of the Glove Proof. After letting the gloves dry for a couple days I sprayed them with the kitchen sink sprayer. The water rolled right off and could not find any seam areas where water was soaking in. One application was enough. After three sets of gloves the little blue scrubby applicator was gone but I it still works properly. Better distribution of the product that way but like the idea of a toothbrush for the seams as well. It’s found a permanent home in my list of bike gear potions and elixirs.

Nikwax a dependable name and the Glove Proof was easy to use on my Elkskin Ropers. Instead of using the applicator top, I poured the solution into a small bowl and applied it directly with a toothbrush to the seams; the body of the glove absorbed the remainder very nicely. After drying overnight there is some very light wax-like flaking, but it is inconsequential. The gloves are ready for the road in 2018!

Waterproofed my brand-new pair of elk skin ropers, got rained on the next day, gloves stayed perfectly dry.

It's a bit hard to make sure to get total coverage as its very thin and it's hard to see where you've already been. The rain showed me two small spots I missed as those were the only two spots on the gloves that got wet.

I agree with Ron A. that it's hard to get out of the bottle.

This stuff works great, but check to see if you are allergic first. I used it on some high end leather gloves, and had to give the gloves away as my hands broke into a horrible rash every time I wore them. Nikwax doesn't include an ingredient list, so test it on your skin first.
