The gloves work well as waterproofing gloves but the gloves don't "breathe" and have rubber nubs on the palms which may make it difficult to pull another pair of gloves over them. I've worn them when doing yoga so that my hands wouldn't slip on my mat, this is why i know your hands will sweat if wearing them for more than a short time. Maybe consider wearing them on the outside of your leather gloves.

I've used these as liners for both motorcycling and bicycling - very warm and waterproof. The down side is they stink, literally - when used regularly they really start to smell. I throw them in the washing machine and it helps

You're welcome. Try to look for a bag that is advertised to be waterproof, else wise you may not be able to make claims in case the product doesn't satisfy you for that reason. Best of lucks!

Hi, I tried using this glue to glue leather pieces together on a jacket. It is not waterproof at all. The my jacket got moist from just a slight sprinkle and fog and the glue became soft. I ended up using shoe goo and it has held pretty good.

I can tell you that these gloves are pretty water resilient. I wouldn't submerge your hand in any chemical compound, with these are any gloves but if you do get some chemical on them, I would try to get the chemical off quickly. I'm not sure it would cause great damage to the glove or you so don't do anything too extreme.

Water is really bad for leather, it really dries it out and often times leaves water stains. This product can definitely help with putting back the needed hydration, but NOT sure if it will restore it though. Depending on how bad the leather is damaged, it might not completely restore it to its full beauty. If these gloves means a lot to you, I think it would be worth the try. You might need more than one application to put back the much needed hydration and moisture. Make sure each time, let it dry completely and then do another application. I had shoes that got pretty dried up because of rain and I had to do 2-3 applications. Hope this helps. Water is really bad for leather, it really dries it out and often times leaves water stains.

I have not used them in more than a drizzle, but I would say the backs are waterproof while the palms breath, so would not be. However, they wick VERY well, and stay very warm when wet as on any hard ride above 30 I will sweat through the palms. My hands stay warm and come out fairly dry as the gloves wick the sweat away.

Years ago they sold liners for fruit leathers & such. I'm not sure if they are still available. Sorry.

It is not water resistant Gregory. If you attach it to your motorcycle with a piece of velcro, water will get to its battery compartment with unknown results,........if you get caught in the rain or if you wash your motorcycle with it attached to it. I bought mine also for motorcycle use and I keep it in the left pocket of my leather jacket. It is quite thick and I can easily grab it and extract it from my pocket to read it, even with my gloved hand! Constantin.

They might, but there are better choices. My experience with neoprene foot- and hand-wear is that they shouldn't be used when water-proofed leather or fabrics would do to keep you warm. Save the neoprene for submersion or nearly constantly wet conditions (and when it is not subject to much abrasion).

Hello,Good question! Didn't test this out - but don't think they are waterproof per se. They are like a 'handi-wipe' sort of material. Good for keeping dirt on shoes contained. Hope this helps.

The gloves would work great for that. I got them with the intentions of scuba diving, but the problem with these gloves, is that they have VERY, very small slots for the fingers. I highly recommend trying on these gloves, or any for that matter, before committing. Good luck.

Absolutely. They fit snug, I don't really want loose gloves. They have a lot of friction and recover very quickly if they get dirt or water on them. Would definitely buy them again.

While this is an excellent product for conditioning and cleaner, I would say buy a new pair of gloves. Leather damaged by water is a loss. Like the other writer answered, you could try if you like. But I would forget paying for this and saving for another pair. Good luck.

I have never used them for this application. But I hear of people doing that with these type of glove. I have heard stories of success with this. It would be a cheap solution at least. Give it a shot what do you have to lose?

The answer isn't as simple as yes or no. This product will help with keeping your boots water resistant. Meaning if you walk through the rain you will be fine, but it will not keep your feet dry if you walk through a stream or river. The point of the conditioner is to make your leather still breathable and flexible while adding a layer of protection. They claim that other water proofer's will not allow leather to breathe making your feet warmer if you wear the boots in the summer. I've used both waterproofer and conditioner before and each has it's own place, but this product has kept my good western boots in great shape for about a year now.
