Leather maintenance ...

[LongRanger_imp]

If you're looking for ideas, Lexol Leather Conditioner and Preservative has served me very well. I don't have any leather seats, but it works the treat on my Hein Gericke leather jacket and seems to hold up reasonably well. When I rode in leathers exclusively (I no longer do), I'd reapply the Lexol about twice a year, though I rarely allowed my gear to get rained on. I imagine most leather products that are exposed to the elements will require periodic care and conditioning if one expects them to remain supple and endure over time, especially outdoors.

Since we're typically sitting on our bike, I'm guessing exposure to the elements may be less of a concern for a leather seat than the constant rubbing and chaffing from our backside. Any ranchers or horsemen here?
