list, i agree that wax, proofhide etc will do the trick... i use coacholine, red color, probably what Brooks stuff was originally , as a lover of tan and brown saddles i sure don't let them sit getting wet i discovered some new old stock pvc tight fitting covers, bright yellow with olympic bands.. elastic on the lower edge .. i carry one of these should i feel the need to stop. Brooks also did a waterproof pertex nylon type black slip over cover back a few years ago, i got a newish one in a trade from an old professor who let me have a 80's professional in black which neither he or i were ever able to break in.!!! bulletproof!!

Well, then many of us who rode on those saddles would have kicked the bucket by now, if the water we drank from lead pipes didn't get us first. :)
