Devilhog, I was introduced to it at bike week, free aplication on your boots. I liked it and bought some. I used it as directed on my red wing boots in the same enviroment as I always have. Within a few months for the first time in using red wing boots the leather cracked and developed holes. Maybe it's better on jackets or ???? I'm not taking any chances on my expensive boots and jackets. I'll send it to you good luck enjoy !!!
