Proofhide

Isn't it the same as saddle soap?
I already have saddle soap

[malkin]

Proofide is wax based (with some oil) so it seals the leather.
Saddle soap is oil based and has some cleaner (surfactant).

I read it on the internet, so it must be true!

How 'bout snoseal? I seem to recall another credible source said that was OK...

[OakLeaf]

ewwww, I wouldn't put Snoseal on anything but shoes, and definitely not on a saddle. It's so gummy and yucky.

ETA: Snoseal specifically does say that it's made to "lubricate without softening," so it sounds like it would be safe, if you don't mind the texture.
