Brooks Proofide Saddle Waterproofing 30 ml

A Brooks leather saddle is made to be used for a long time, but the leather needs a little care to retain its suppleness and resist moisture. Brooks Proofide is the leather dressing Brooks themselves recommend for their leather saddles, and it is used both on a new saddle during the break-in period and for regular maintenance once the saddle has seen a few years and many miles.

Apply a thin layer of Proofide to the top of the leather and let it soak in before buffing away the excess with a soft cloth. On the underside, a thin layer can be left in place to provide extra protection against dirt and moisture. Use sparingly—too much Proofide can make the leather unnecessarily soft—and never apply it to a wet saddle.

On a new Brooks leather saddle, Proofide helps the leather become more supple during the break-in period. After that, it is normally enough to treat the saddle every few months. This is therefore not something to apply after every ride in the rain, but a simple part of the long-term maintenance of a Brooks B17, Team Pro, Swift, Flyer, or any of the brand’s other traditional leather saddles.
