The magic stuff!
I use this product in addition to neatsfoot. They both work similarly but I prefer the softness I get from Hydrophane dressing.

Long time favorite
I've been using Hydrophane Leather Dressing for more than 30 years. A few years ago a local tack store that carried it closed. I am so happy to find it here at SmartPak. Thank you so much.

Wonderful leather conditioner
I love hydrophane! It made all of my leather beautiful and soft. My friend has an older saddle and I told her to try my can of hydrophane... see the photos. She is now a believer as well!

Works very well
I bought this to use on my Stubbens (one brand new and one older and faded). It darkened both of them nicely and seemed to help remove the waxy coating that the older saddle had. It helped to even out the color and soften the leather. Worked much better than Antares oil or lederbalsam (which I tried first). I followed it up with Stubben hammanol which added some extra tackiness to the leather. Super pleased with it!

Everyone should own this
New leather? Hydrophane. Old leather? Hydrophane. Need to "waterproof" your leather? Hydrophane. I won't use any other oil, it's been my go to for years!

Wonderful for boots!
I used hydrophane to condition my new dressage boots and within days, they became soft and flexible.

Amazing product
Softens old stiff leather and new leather like no other product around. Once leather has fully absorbed the product you only need to reapply it yearly. Makes leather water resistant.... You will no longer get water marks. I used to have this product imported from Germany in the 1990's, I am so glad it is available in the states now... I no longer have to pay import fees. This product is worth every penny. Yes you may go through a full can or more on the first application but once leather fully absorbs it your tack will be forever soft and plyable and you only need a light coat for yearly reapplications. I still have my childhood saddle from the 80's and it still looks brand new thanks to this product. I will never use anything else. We use it on all our saddles, bridles, leather halters, harnesses, leather boots and shoes.

Super effective
I've gone through almost my whole first bottle. I've done my dressage saddle twice (which I bought stiff used) and the jump saddle once. I keep both saddles well conditioned in general, but I can instantly see the difference after I start applying the hydrophane. It does darken the leather naturally, but I prefer that. Removes water marks, and softens everything so quickly! Highly recommend if you are using it on an older saddle, but not for constant use. Best once or twice yearly.

Darkened my Western Saddle to Match my Headstall
This product works great! I used a rag and a small foam dobber thingy to apply it and it immediately darkened the leather from a very light tan to a warm chestnut. I did this on a western saddle, but it would work perfectly on any leather products you own. I do think that I might do a second round as after a day of the saddle sitting, it absorbed quite a lot of the oil and might need one more round to hold the darker color. I have ridden in the saddle multiple times and the color has never come off on my pants at all.

Brings Out Lovely Color!
I loved using this on my Cognac colored saddle- it brought out such a beautiful color and made the leather feel great!
