Treating Leather Muffs On Your Headphones

[fsa46]

Do you treat your leather ear muffs with anything to repel the moisture ? With the weather getting warmer, I am concerned I may damage the leather ear muffs on my headphones from the perspiration. Is there anything you have personally tried/use that will help with this problem ?

use Bear Grease IF you can find it.
Rub a very smal amount thoroughly into the leather.
I've ben usin it on my leather uppers on my Iceman boots for over 25 years and the leather is till like new.
If oyu rub it in well enough and then let it set over night there will be no excess on the leather.

If you can't find Mink Oil then ask for Dubbin or Arctic Dubbin. It is amber coloured and contains Mink Oil.

It is a waxy substance that you apply to boots etc and it waterproofs them, so as noted by "mitwes56" you just rub it in and let it sit overnight.

Might stick to your ears at first.

Are you sure they are real leather. My Killer B's looked like real leather when new but later they started cracking badly and thats when I saw they are imitation leather.

Yes, they are leather, I have the Sunray Pro Gold headphones.

They are very comfortable, but with the warm weather I am perspiring more each time out and I'm afraid I am going to damage the leather. I have to use something that isn't going to have a reaction to my skin. I'm sure I'm not the only person with this problem , hence the question.

I still use old fashion Neatsfoot Oil on leather belts and stuff.
