      For Heavy-Duty or Rough-Out Leather Boots

      To prepare footwear for the wettest, most abrasive situations such as step kicking in snow, ice climbing or mixed climbing, use a heavy duty gel waterproofing formula such as ReviveX® Leather Gel. Apply gel to a clean cloth, then buff into the leather.

      NOTE:

      Gel water repellent treatments will darken leather, giving footwear a rich, traditional outdoor look. Many climbers like this darker look. Make sure you like it before you apply ReviveX Leather Gel.
