The product is nearly odorless and its paste like consistency makes it easy to apply without messy dripping. The color finish of my gloves (Blk. Diamond Patrol) has thus far not been altered by applications of Nikwax. The leather stitching remains strong, and there's been no shrinkage or stretching of the leather so fitment remains unaltered. I have found that reapplication is necessary after every 3rd-5th ski trip, not once a year as claimed by the company and it takes about 48 hours for the product to completely penetrate and dry on the leather. The Nikwax dries completely never leaving any residue or tackiness. Lastly, one really good attribute is that application spillover from the leather onto the adjoining black nylon areas does not result in discoloration of the nylon.

I'd heard about Nikwax for years but never tried it. In the tube it is easy to apply and dries fairly fast. Early morning dew is the worst in shin-high fescue. Frankly, I may as well not have bothered. Furniture paste wax did as well (but not as easy to apply). Mink Oil works better. The best I've found is spray silicone, and that's what I'll use again.

Nikwax can be applied to wet leather and it will work. It is the only product recommended by Merrell for their Nubuck leather hiking boots. I applied this to a well worn pair of Merrell Moab Rover leather hiking boots and they look like they’re new again. My feet have never gotten wet when wearing Merrell’s treated with Nikwax. Unless of course, I step in water that’s too deep. :-) I’ve applied this to boots that were no longer waterproof and now they are completely waterproof again. I’ve tried just about every waterproofing product I can think of, at one time or another. Now, I don’t waste my time with anything else. It seems expensive at first glance, but you truly do get what you pay for. And, a little bit of Nikwax goes a long way. I consider it a best buy.

I waterproof my Kinco 901 gloves. This product is amazing. Pull blue cap off and applicator is right there. Apply NIKWAX to gloves and esp. all around the seams. Product goes on very easy rub in and wipe off excess. Gloves are waterproof and super soft. Next is to do boots.

I used it on my Red Wing boots that I use daily in the winter. I have used them for the last two weeks since I applied the Nikwax and they don't absorb any water and sale anymore. I bought it to waterproof my new Blundstone boots (which I haven't used yet). I will not use it on my Doc Marten's in my closet too. It was easy to apply.
