Does anyone know if the Chamberlain's water protectant works well for tack? Don't want it to make my saddle slippery or anything...

i don't know about tack but it did not make any of my shoes slippery--it is not a "coating" it absorbs into the leather

I'm not sure since I haven't tried it on saddle leather, however it worked great on a number of high grade leather purses that I sell.

Actually, according to the great hive mind. It was originally developed for use on soles of shoes. With the advent of rubber soles it was subsequently used on saddles. I don't see any problem with using it on soles. Make sure they are clean and dry. When the product dries buff with a rag and they will be ok. Just my 2 cents.

It would be fine. It will just dry later. But it's wider than the normal racing saddle.

I have not had that problem. I mostly use it as a spot spray but I do have one old spaniel that really freaks in the water. So instead of stressing her, We use this on her entire coat and it comes out pretty nice.

Hi, I have had one of these on my composite deck for several years. I can tell you it is excellent. No damage or discoloration to the deck, and keeps grease and spills away from the composite. I can highly recommend it. I recently bought one for my other home, and it came through our Michigan winter with no problems.

I did not use this on shoes, I used it only dressage saddle. Then used the restolene to seal it. After rubbing and sweating and the occasional rain, my white breeches do not have black on them.

As the other responder said , It can make things litttle slippery. This stuff will also transfer a little to your hands from your grips. . All grips ands levers come into play. Just use common sense when using it. It does a great job if you read the directions.

This produce mostly is recommended for canvas and boat and car covers as water repelant. When you apply the product looks greasy. Do not use it on cloth seats.

I use mink oil michael , you might use saddle soap also. I use mink oil on all my leather it completely water proofs and softens any leather . Walmart has it for 5 dollars or the tractor supply store carries it also .

I didn't see any drawbacks to using this cover. In fact I absolutely loved it. Used it on my GS500F (Suzuki) that had full fairings and saddle bags. The cover easily went over all that. Nothing got wet inside, no condensation, no dust or anything else.

Hi Sarah! Sorry to hear about the accident! As long as your seat is not leather this product should be safe to use. If you are unsure its always a good idea to pretest the formula in a hidden area for color fastness.

The water doesn't seem to be as much of an issue as movement. I have not had much luck with it staying on with or without the shower. It is good for a daily application, but you should expect to use additional tape or perhaps glue, which I have not yet tried. My application runs the length of my leg at an angle from mid thigh to my lower calf. It is not fully stretched, but just gently pulled and supposed to train my body to remove fuild from my surgical leg. :-(

the sandpaper surface was too abrasive for my dog's pads, so I put velcro and carpet on it for traction. That wouldn't work in water. Also I have found that the ramp slips around where it's edge rests on the tailgate and I have to hold it steady. This wouldn't work very well for a boat...even more slippery. pick something with good rubber feet PS...edited this post to include saying that if your dog is under 40lbs it should work fine if you attach better rubber grips to the "boat end" of the ramp

Saddle and it works perfect.. they do tell you a few times in the instructions to make sure to line saddle up with the hole.I've had no problems.

I love my sink saddle. My dimension is 1.5-2" and the saddle fits it perfectly. It doesn't slide off or anything. It really saves on scratching up a stainless steel sink. I believe you will like it and it will fit.

No, not slippery at all, it soaks right in. Makes it supple and takes the dryness right out. The colour is "richer" as well because of the added moisture. Great stuff!

Christalina, This is a very good product. I have used it for many years for leather Horse equipment, i.e. Saddles, Bridles, etc. It will eventually make the leather cord more supple, but not overnight. It kind of enhances the normal quality of leather. I think you would have to apply it per instructions, wipe it off, work the leather - - like flexing and pulling gently - - and see how the leather reacts. Repeat this whole procedure, after a while and it should improve quite a bit. Also try contacting the manufacturer for more info.
