- I haven't been successfull, but perhaps I can save you some time.
- I've tried 'that silicon stuff you get from boot places', Scotchguard,
- and seam-sealer for tents. None of those work. I think leather gloves
- are just too absorbant and have too many seams. I finally gave up
- and ordered some Dry Rider rain mits. These are completely water-proof,
- very compact, and go on easily over leather gloves. You can get them
- from anywhere that sells DR rain suits. Seems like they were pretty
- cheap too. Good luck in your quest!
