Having tried several leather treatments to rejuvenate dry, old saddles:

- Brooks Proofide (does not penetrate thick leather) - saddle oil (impregnates, softens and weakens the leather)

I'm still looking for a treatment that:

- penetrates without weakening - doesn't leave behind an oily mess that will stain riding shorts - if possible - puts a shine on the leather - protects the saddle from sweaty riders - odorless
