Back when I rode dirt bikes I used Mink oil on my Alpine Stars. Worked great.
Made them waterproof.
I use the HD stuff on my leather couch as well as my saddle. It works well.

Then I found a product called Leather New.Easy to use, no buffing required and it made the bags look new again. Leaves a sheen to the leather and cleans as you use it. It's a liquid glycerin saddle soap that treats and softens the leather. I'm stuck on this product now.

I have also found that a product called "lexol" works well also.

Glider will this work on chaps also or should you use something else for chaps and leather jackets

It will work just fine on anything leather. I used it on my jacket and had good results.

I personally like to use mink oil for its waterproofing effects. Lexol is a good conditioner as well, but I don't feel it is as effective for repelling water if you frequently ride in wet weather or have a saddle leather seat.
