I have a garage leathers solo bag and they gave me a tin of this stuff.
I've re treated the bag and it works great. Water rolls right off.

Vinylex or if they are real leather Lexol. http://www.lexol.com/ I have used this stuff on every seat, set of bags, etc. that I have ever owned. There are numerous products available, but I like this stuff the best.

I like this stuff. I'm not so sure about its waterproofing capabilities but it's easy to use and makes everything look purdy.

It talks about every thing but the water proofing I have seen where HD sells the water proof liners for the leather saddle bags wonder how they are ?
