Carr & Day & Martin 500ml Belvoir Leather Balsam Intensive Conditioner

This is the best leather balm for saddles! Ive been using it after every ride to help break in my new saddle. It also keeps it looking really nice. It does darken the color a bit (Im an artist so I notice these types of things more than others), but its not dramatic and I really like the look. The smell is also wonderful. Not overly oily, and soaks in really well. Highly recommended!

This product is incredible for keeping your leather tack in GREAT condition.

Ease of yse

This conditioner is wonderful. The jar last forever and does a wonderful job. An extra bonus it smells so good!

There are other products out there that do as good a job as leather balsam, typically balsam-based products with a stabilizer such as beeswax to further help with waterproofing... but this product works great for quick wipedowns after cleaning your leather goods when you dont have the time or energy to really get in there and work the product in. A quick scrub and wipe with saddle or glycerin soap, followed by a generous application and wipedown with this product, will keep most leather in great condition. It does contribute to darkening over time, so using this on some lighter colored leathers (that you want to keep that way) is not advisable. I use this for two items I own, an oil-tanned cowhide messenger bag and some soft greasy brown Doc Martens boots that Ive had for over 20 years.

The best conditioner for saddles

The best

Has an interesting smell to it but it works great and the smell goes away after a day or so.

Just tried this yesterday on a dusty leather purse. Basically, just wipe it on, wait ten minutes and buff. So easy, and fast. My purse looked like New, wasn’t greasy or sticky. I’m going to do my shoes next. Considering all I paid for my leather goods, this is great protection.

Great for all your leather conditioning needs. Lasts a long time as well!
