"I really like this product to condition my saddle- works really well to keep the leather supple, without making the surface slippery. A little goes a long way, so each jar lasts awhile."

"I bought this because I wanted to try a different type of conditioner and have heard pretty good things about it. It works! It has a pretty good smell, the right consistency, and lasts forever! It can get greasy if you apply too much, but if you do, just get a towel and buff your tack. It really moisturizes your tack and makes it look healthy! It comes in a huge jar with a good twist on lid. Just make sure you store it in a cool place, I left mine in a lit area that was warm and the jar was bendy, like I could squeeze it. Overall great product, definitely worth it!"
"Effax leather balsam is the best I have ever used. It keeps my tack supple in a climate where it's not unusual to go from sub-zero to high humidity in a matter of weeks.
Leather absorbs it well, and though there is a slight (ever so slight) tacky feeling, it does not pick up dust. It also gives a lovely gleam to the leather, and also has a delicious honey smell!"

"I wanted to love this product. Nothing is better than smartpak shipping for convenient access to a product I do use a lot of. But I can't like this product. It works just like it should... but I cannot stand the smell. Its somewhere between floral and vanilla - and it makes me sneeze like crazy. I'm going to stick with Farnam ledser balsam or try another brand."
"I love the smell of Effax Leather Balsam! It's great at softening and protecting my leather. I find it to leave a bit of a tacky/waxy residue, but I might just have used too much. Either way, this is sometimes helpful, because then it protects leather a bit more in wet weather, and means my tack won't be slippery."

"Not only do i use this after a good cleaning to keep my leather supple and nice, but i also use it in between cleanings. I have used this for years, along with stubben saddle cleaner, and my saddles and bridles last for years and look just as great as the day i bought them. It prevents cracks, keeps leather nice, restores damaged leather, brings life back to neglected leather. ALSO, this is wonerful for your hands! This is a staple in my tack box for life!!!"

"I love the smell and feel of the leder-balsam from Effax. In fact, I'm looking into how I could buy the personal skin care products they sell for riders, because I just want to rub this product into my hands and smell it for hours. I've only been using it on my bridle for a few weeks, but it seems to do a great job conditioning the leather without leaving a greasy feel."

"Effax is the best leather conditioner out there, bar none."
"I love this stuff. I am kind of a slacker when it comes to conditioning my tack but this stuff does a wonderful job and doesn't make my tack all sticky as other brands do sometimes. I would say a tub lasts me maybe 9 months? Not positive on that one. Regardless you can't beat this stuff."

"This is the only product that I use to maintain my saddle. The leather stays supple and does not dry out from the southern heat. Also, if you happen to get caught in a light rain...no worry, the rain repels in route to the barn."

"My saddle had become very slippery so I was looking for something that would make my saddle tacky. This stuff worked like a charm, my saddle is no longer slippery and it feels great. This did exactly what I needed it to do."
