Used the Sdoc 100 products on the BMW Atlantis 3 trousers.
Since BMW stoped selling the cleaning product kit for Atlantis leathers there was nothing on the market. Well now there is. No loss of colour and the leather is nice and soft after treatment. I donÂ’t how it works, so I popped an email to Dr. O.K. Wack Chemie GmbH.

Dear Mr. Zoltan,

thank you for your interest in our product S100 Reproofing Spray.

Our S100 Reproofing Spray includes no silicones or oils.

In the past we checked the breathability of leather before and after using S100 Reproofing Spray. We found no decrease of the breathability due to the application.

Therefore you can use the S100 Reproofing Spray on smoother leather as well as on nubuck leather.

We hope we could answer your question.

For any further question please contact us.

Kind regards

Hartmut Hauber

For £80 Hideout Leather will replace the full length zipper with a waterproof one. However because of the design the new zipper it’s only one way.

Repairing a zipper

It only works on metal pullers, as a temporary fix it is simple and quick. The fix also works when the track opens up after you pulled the zipper in up/closed position. But you have to be careful, do not use brut force.
