just read the warning at the bottom of https://renapur.com/motorcyclists/ for certain types or colours of leather - same applies to all products named above

I use it on boots, although not on my Altbergs on which I use their Ledergris. I also use it on my leather jackets, my leather bike seat and I've also used it on gloves although I tend to use Nikwax Glove Proof on those.

Pecards Motorcycle Leather Dressing. Comes in black or clear.

Renapur is great stuff, but the Pecards is better for leather jackets, saddlebags, saddles etc....

I used to use Renapur, but it can clog leather's pores. Hideout recommended Gold Label Hide Food over Renapur.

Also, I see Duckswax is sold by BKS, which counts as a solid recommendation.

Thanks for those recommendations. They both look top notch from reviews

This.

One problem with leather food is all the old wives tales. Several issues are allegedly associated with neatsfoot oil (it damages stitching; it conditions leather in the short-term but speeds up its breakdown in the long term). I have no clue how many of these negatives are myths!

I do, however, trust Hideout and BKS for leather advice. So, it's Gold Label Hide Food or Duckswax for me. I find Duckswax is fractionally better at adding some water repellency, but there's not much between the two.

I haven't found a decent leather cleaner to use before the 'hide food'. Hideout recommended – and so I've stuck with – warm water and a clean cloth. Previously, I'd tried Nikwax Leather Cleaner because it seemed sufficiently gentle; but it appeared to remove very little dirt!
