Nikwax Conditioner for Leather

Nikwax Conditioner for Leather

Water Based waterproofing conditioner for all waterproof leather clothing, equipment and accessories.

Leather clothing, equipment and accessories will absorb water and wet out’ when used in damp or wet conditions if their Durable Water Repellency (DWR) has been compromised.
When leather absorbs water, tanning agents and lubricants are lost, which causes the leather to become dry, stiff and prone to splitting. Over time this will cause the structure of leather to degrade.

Additionally, when leather is wet its breathability is reduced. This causes leather clothing to become sweaty and wet inside from condensation. Therefore, the DWR of your leather gear must be maintained to ensure comfort and performance.

Through use, the DWR applied to leather gear will be lost through abrasion. Nikwax Leather Restorer™ adds DWR and nourishes leather with tanning agents and lubricants keeping it in top condition and helping your gear to perform better and for longer.
During leather production, tanning agents are added to maintain the structure of leather and prevent microbial growth. If leather absorbs water, tanning agents will be lost. Over time this will compromise the structure of leather.
To prevent water absorption, Nikwax Leather Restorer™ should be used to add Durable Water Repellency (DWR) to leather gear.
