Review on 🛡️ Garrison Guard: Ultimate Leather Protection for All Seasons & Conditions by Paul Koehler

After a few weeks of use, I can say that the Garrison Guard has far exceeded my expectations. What surprised me the most was hiking with a new pair of Danner boots. You expect boots to wear down over rough terrain, but I walked through a rocky section and knew I was chewing on them. However, this product seems to have protected them from common scrapes and abrasions much better than I would normally expect from a first outing. As stated on the tin, this is a water repellent, not a water repellent. It doesn't seal the skin like silicone-based products, but that's a good thing in my opinion. (Trying to waterproof leather is a dumb idea, and it can eventually dry rot - wear wellies when it's that wet!) I can say waxes keep out rain and moisture, and end up making it easier to clean your Trip.
