USE: Apply with a polishing cloth or rag. Rub in a small amount and repeat until leather is saturated. Test on a small patch before rubbing into the whole glove. Light leather may darken somewhat.
REMEMBER: We recommend only using Leather Balm on sports gloves made from goatskin and cowhide. Do not use Leather Balm on deerskin, elk leather, hairsheep leather, peccary or carpincho leather. These leathers are not as absorbent and may become sticky and mottled.
Glove Care - 5 tips for a long life
Hestra gloves are made to last. With some love and care they will last even longer. Good for you, good for the environment.
1) Grease the leather regularly and it will resist moisture, wear and tear better. The leather balm can make the leather darker, therefore we recommend you to try the leather balm on a hidden surface first. Moisten the leather a little first. Use a polishing cloth and rub in the grease until the leather is saturated. Do this in the evening and the grease is absorbed during the night. We primarily recommend leather balming sport gloves in goatskin and cowhide. Dress gloves and other leathers such as deerskin and elk leather may get mottled from leather balm.
2) If you have gloves with breathable materials like GORE-TEX, you should avoid silicone impregnation. It clogs the pores and reduces the material’s breathability.
3) With the carabiner clasp that comes with some models, you can easily attach the gloves to a backpack. In that way, you don’t risk losing them, and they can dry without losing shape.
4) Dyed leather may stain clothing when wet, so don’t place a wet glove on other garments. Choose a model with a natural leather color if you do not want to risk bleeding.
5) Gloves rarely get damaged while skiing. Instead, the edges of skis and boot buckles are normally the cause of damage to your gloves. Be careful when handling your skis or boots!
