Is Hestra Leather Balm a waterproofer?

No, our leather balm will not make your gloves fully waterproof. 

Hestra Leather Balm is a good leather conditioner, but it is not a dedicated waterproofing treatment. There are many dedicated waterproofing treatments available, but e cannot vouch for the quality or efficacy of the various dedicated leather waterproofers available on the market.

All leather conditioners and treatments will darken the color of your gloves, so if you choose to use a dedicated leather waterproofing treatment, please test it on a small area first.

Either use Hestra Leather Balm to condition your gloves, or use a dedicated waterproofing treatment, but do not use both - their recipes may not be compatible.
