@rx100.7050: Sorry for late reply. One has to be more careful with Leather than cordura fabric like mine. Just DON'T dry them in the sun, its okay. Have been washing my leather shoes as well as gloves in detergent for years without issue. The leather spray I am talking about are available in any shopping malls, at least in Mumbai. They have different brands with different price. Sprays are mainly used for protection as well as treatment. But for rain protection, I guess Leather lube which is wax based may be best. Don't know if its available as I got mine from US. Even shoe polish will be good. Oh, there are many options if you come to think of it.

Main problem with spoiling leather is drying wet leather in the sun and then not treating them.
