On all my leather stuff I usually use the mink oil stuff, or snow-sealView attachment 74528

Apply a really thick layer than use a hair dryer to melt it and allow it to soak in. Works well for me, also seems to preserve the leather keeping it from drying out.

I followed a recommendation from this forum and bought Aerostich Triple-Digit rain covers for my gloves. They were brilliant through 500km of rain of sometimes biblical heaviness, they keep your hands warm, and they pack away almost to nothing. Plus they’re a lot cheaper than a pair of goretex gloves!

A long time ago I tried some nylon glove covers and did not like the slick feeling on the grips and levers.
When I look at the Aerostich site I can't tell if there's any type of friction material on the palm side of the gloves.

Is it just nylon on the palm side and do you have problems with the gloves being slick?

Wore mine for a few days of heavy rain in the Yukon last summer. I didn't find any slickness to the gloves on the grips. I've got the grip puppies on my bike, so I can't say how slick they may be on the original grips Lee.
