| How To Care For Leathers Hi All, So I now have a two piece Joe Rocket leather suit. Apparently these items are pretty waterproof (correct me if I am wrong). What I want to know is if I do get soaked one day, how should I care for the leathers. I have heard of using Dubbin or some such as a way of making them more water resistant, but alternatively told not to worry about Dubbin and just use a leather moisturiser after the leathers get wet (after they dry out I guess). Any comments on what you have found works would be much appreciated. Thanks, Dave aka ICHSNOO  | |

| Re: How To Care For Leathers Your leathers aren't waterproof at all. Dubbin has Silicone which'll give it some water resistance. Mink Oil is the same stuff without Silicone. |
