Zamberlan Hydrobloc proofing cream has been specifically formulated for use on full-grain leathers, but is also suitable for use on NuBuck leather and most other leather boots. It will improve the water resistance of the leather, which is essential for boots that do not have a Gore-Tex membrane, but also desirable for all leather products as it is important to keep leather in good condition to prevent drying out and cracking.

Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel is a great speciality cleaner if you're looking to clean your hiking shoes or boots. It is easy to use and will revitalise the water repellency and breathability of your outdoor and sports footwear. For a full-reproof we would advise using the Nikwax Fabric and Leather Proofer which is also available on our website!

Nikwax Down Proof is a speciality, wash-in waterproofer that's been specifically deigned for use on down-filled insulation. Down Proof is easy to use in the washing machine or by hand and is PFC free. It will help protect the insulating properties of your down-filled clothing and sleeping bags, keeping your warmer and dryer for longer.

The Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof is designed to maintain the appearance, waterproofing and breathability of leather and fabric footwear. It is best used with Nikwax's Footwear cleaning gel (otherwise you're waterproofing the dirt on the surface of your boots!). Nikwax products do not contain PFCs, which are chemicals that are good at making things water repellent but are also harmful to the environment.

Meindl SportWax has been specifically designed for use with nubuck leather. It will help to condition and keep the leather supple, in turn preventing it from cracking or drying. The leather will lose the brushed nubuck effect and darken, but treatment will improve water-resistance. Water-resistance will be further improved with the use of Wet Proof, particularly in soft leather areas, e.g. the tongue gusset on the Meindl Borneo.
