Geier Deerskin Gloves Waterproofing

[SteveAndTheCrigBoys]

Picked up some Geier deerskin gloves with the merino lining recently. Want to put sno-seal or nixwax on them for winter activities. Geier said they don't ever get that question and didn't have a recommendation...

So...sno-seal or nixwax for deerskin gloves?? I'm leaning towards the former, that's what I've used on all my flylow leather gloves.

I’m a sno-seal fan

No experience with those particular gloves, but I’ve used sno seal on other leather gloves and been pretty satisfied with it.

I think I’d gravitate towards beeswax.

Beeswax is the way.... if you don't mind the work upfront to do it. I've got a pair of elk hide gloves I got in Butte that I took the time to treat with beeswax and they are still very comfortable and very water resistant. The break in after the treatment is a bit stiff but worth it. Definitely leave them in a warm place after treating and wear them a lot to get them broke in.
