Waterproofing Kincos?

[ZC27]

I just got a new pair of 1927KW kincos gloves and it’s not really clear anywhere online or on the packaging, do I use a wax/waterproofing or are am I not supposed to w these?

get the wax packet thing and squeeze it all over the leather not the fabric, then rub it in and let it sit over night. that’s what i did.

Sno-Seal is what you are supposed to use on Kincos

Did the same with mine a few months back, worked great - best gloves I’ve ever used. One note - when I first did it, the heat seemed to shrink them slightly, but they’ve stretched out and broken in perfectly since then. So don’t freak out if the fit (and color) changes a little.

You can also bake em in the oven for like 10 mins on the lowest temp (usually 170 Fahrenheit) to get the wax settled in. Also it breaks them in a little bit
