Other than time and wearing leathers whats the best way to soften them up a bit? No thanks, a highside at 80mph is out of the question... Lol |

Donnie I always saddle soap and rub mink oil in as soon as I get them then every time I wear the the first couple of times. I think it speeds up the break-in. Joe |

I have a can of spray on "Glove Conditioner" that I bought when my kids were breaking in new Baseball gloves. Anyone ever try something like this on their leathers? I just bought a new jacket and want to try to loosen it up a bit before riding season. |

Talk to a local dry cleaner, one near me cleans leather and my jackets always come back nice and soft. |

Check out Montana Pitch-Blend. They make leather care products made from mink oil, pine pitch, and bees wax. Treating the leather with the mink oil helps to make it supple. |

Yup, Montana Pitch Blend is the stuff. I ordered mine through Fox Creek Leather. You can find them on the web easily. |

+1 on Lexol. I do not know if it works well on leather gear, but it is by far the best leather conditioner I have ever used for auto seats/furniture. |

when i was in the Marine Corps to breaking our new boots we would saturate them with water lace them up and wear them for a half a day the boots would actually mold to your feet while walking and would become more comfortable than u can imagine how u to use this on pants is another story ????? |

Friends of mine in the Motor div. of police department all swear by Lexol. I use the stuff also and it has always worked great for me. |

+1 on Montana pitch. Smells good. All natural stuff, and gives good moisture protection as well as conditioning. |

I use Fiebing's Aussie Leather Conditioner. Lexol is good but too watery for my tastes. The Fiebings does a great job conditioning and also has bee's wax in it which adds an additional level of protectiveness for the leather while making it supple |
