My tack smells like a candle and it's fantastic
First of all, this product smells fantastic. It's the kind of thing that makes you look like a lunatic since you're smelling your sponge as you work and are cleaning much more tack than you originally set out to clean. It works well, is a good value, and isn't too sticky or residue-y. The only complaint, if you can call it that, is that when I use it on the seat of my saddle, it sometimes makes my saddle squeak as I ride and my breeches rub across the seat. This didn't happen immediately after I got on, and eventually went away, but I do notice it for a few laps of the ring about 10 minutes into my ride on cleaning days.

Smells amazing!
Have been using my new tall boots daily and they have softened and stretched in just two weeks. I love the smell and will definitely purchase again

Overall good 2-1 cleaner/conditioner
I bought this as an easy clean & condition product. Have used it for about 1 month and so far it works well.

Impressed
I've classically just used leather new to wipe down my tack after riding and saw this product on the website. I've been wanting to do something a bit more conditioning for my leather and decided to give this a try. It is easy to use, a little goes a long way and it soaks in quickly with no residue. I am a total fan! And yes, it smells great, too!

So glad I ordered this!
I've been searching for an easier to use leather cleaner/ conditioner. This product delivers. Easy to apply, beautiful glossy sheen and economical product. Made my boots look brand new. Pleasant subtle smell.

Smells great!
Absolutely love it. I use it on my tack and boots after each ride and it keeps it clean and soft between pilings. The lavender scent is really subtle and smells much better than other products.

Perfect!
This product is my leather care go to now! I’ve always wanted to be a person that cleaned all their leather after each ride but the soap/conditioner I was using always made my saddle super slippery. Every product I tried smelled weird, made my tack slick, left residue on my black leather (ex horseman’s one-step), or was a mess to use. Enter Smartpak’s leather lover. It doesn’t make my tack slick at all, smells amazing, doesn’t leave a residue, is super easy to use and not messy. Now I enjoy cleaning my tack after every ride. It’s a nice cool down time to let me think over my ride and I just adore the smell of the cleaner. Also something to mention is that it might seem like this is kind of expensive but this container is huge and is used up pretty slowly. For a little over $1.50 and ounce, it’s cheaper than many of the fancy leather balms I’ve seen that are super tiny containers. Obviously you should still deep condition your tack every once in a while and this is not the product for that but if you are looking for something to give your tack a nice everyday clean without leaving it sticky/slick or leaving residue, you’ve found it!

Perfect for everyday use and smells AMAZING
Bought this six months ago for something quick and easy to wipe down my gear after rides. It's absolutely perfect for that. It comes with a sponge that doesn't fall apart, it last FOREVER (seriously, I use it multiple times a week and I've maybe used a half inch of product), smells insanely good, and it dries/absorbs fast enough that when i come back in the morning for my ride, it's not sticky. Cleans very well. I would not consider this a deep conditioner, but it maintains your tack very well so you don't have to deep condition as often. For the price and how long it's lasting me? HIGHLY recommend.

Great on ALL my leather goods!
I bought this product a few months ago, and still loving it just as much as I did when I first used it! I've used it on my dog's collars, my saddle, my field and paddock boots, and even my EMS boots! I work as an EMT and my boots have clearly seen better days, but I figured this last round of shining I should try this stuff since it worked so well oh everything else. Let me tell you, I'm not sure why it took so long to realize that because I have never seen such shine! It usually takes three or four coats of the regular Kiwi black and parade gloss polish to look even half as good since they are "well loved", and this was much easier and so much more pleasant smelling then the Kiwi polishes are! PLUS the shine lasted through a whole 24 hour shift. I'm sold! When I use the cleaner on my saddle I do let it set for about 24 hrs and then buff off prior to riding in it, not because the product is greasy (it definitely is not,) but mainly because I am paranoid of "saddle soap crotch", lol. the smell is amazing too! I love this cleaner/conditioner so much that I even decided to write a review on it- which I never do. Great job SmartPak!! Almost time for me to get some more.

I clean my leather all the time now. I LOVE it
It gets dusty and dreary in the winter in NY where I ride. This cleaner keeps my stuff polished when it's cold and IT SMELLS SO GOOD. I wish it was more water repellant but it is so great. My current favorite product!!! Uplifting!

Smells great and cleans well!
Really easy to use. No mess. Tackled my chaps which were so dry they could practically stand in their own. One application and they were soft, clean and smelled great.

GREAT PRODUCT AND EASY TO USE
Great product - one step to clean and condition makes it SO easy to use! The SmartPak product video said they use it for their tack they take to horse shows so I knew it had to be a great product and it is! And it smells good too! Thanks SmartPak!

Great product for frequent use
In Florida, tack takes a beating--heat, humidity, sweat, and rain can deteriorate tack quickly. I wipe my tack down after every ride, and this is a great addition to that habit. It's easy to apply, doesn't leave a residue and smells fantastic.

Good Every Day cleaner
This is a good every day cleaner that conditions so you don’t need to do things twice. However, if something is very dirty I would use a different cleaner. It conditions leather nicely.

LOVE this!
I bought this cleaner to use on my Bates saddle with Luxe leather and it works so well so far! Adds a nice layer of protection without making the saddle discolored or slippery like some can. Highly recommend...bonus is that it smells amazing too!

Great for regular use!
Love this product. It's great for regular use after riding. I like to wipe everything down after each session in the saddle. This is perfect for that - quick and multipurpose. Not ideal for really dirty build up, but perfect for regular quick cleanings. Tack will still need a thorough cleaning every so often, but this keeps it really nice on regular basis. Will definitely be buying again.

Love it!
I love it, it leaves my tack shiny, clean, and smelling amazing! I wish SmartPak makes a bigger container because I use it 3 - 4 times a week on my saddle and bridles.

Loving it so far.
Have used this a few times as a one-step post ride and it’s very nice. Smells great, goes on nicely. Seems to offer more conditioning than just a glycerin bar, although it has the feel/look of glycerin in a jar. I waited to buy until 20% off for Labor Day, so I’m going to have to see how long it lasts before I feel like it’s a good “value” for the money.

Great cleaner/conditioner for lightly used tack
At first I loved this product. The smell is fabulous, it puts a great gloss and condition on tack and boots. However, once it got really hot and swampy in NC this cleaner cannot keep up. It failed to properly clean intense sweat, salt and dirt from my boots and tack to the point the inside of my boots, girth and reins were white with salt. Once I switched cleaners I was able to get my boots and tack properly cleaned.
Moral of the story is, this is a great cleaner/conditioner for tack that sits in your house 80% of the time or that saddle you love that no longer gets used. I will likely use it in the winter when I’m not dripping with sweat when I dismount.

Awesome Soap and Conditioner!!!
I bought this when I was going through a major spring cleaning in my barn and needed to clean up some tack. Now... I use it on my saddles, bridles, boots, etc. For almost every use! LOVE the smell and that it doesnt leave your leather tacky.

Great leather cleaner!
My trainer has this and all of her students love using it. It smells so good to begin with and I just can't get enough of it. As for actual quality I really like it. It's not thick or sticky. It seems pretty lights and spreads easily over your tack so it's clumpy either. It works really well and my saddle looked awesome after wiping it down in this.
