Bickmore Gard-More Leather & Suede Protector Spray — 8 oz Silicone-Free Water & Stain Repellent

Bickmore Gard-More is a silicone-free spray that forms an invisible, breathable shield to repel water and stains from leather, suede, hats, and other delicate materials.

Keep boots, jackets, hats, and upholstery looking newer, longer with a protector designed specifically to preserve texture and color. Gard-More is formulated for regular use on leather, suede, nubuck, felt and many fabrics; it delivers a protective barrier without causing stiffening, yellowing, or trapped moisture. Made in the USA, this spray is a maintenance step that reduces scuffing and helps prevent liquids and grime from soaking into fibers.

How do I apply Gard-More to leather and suede?

Application is straightforward: always test a hidden spot first to confirm colorfastness. Hold the bottle several inches away and mist evenly over the surface; avoid soaking the material. Let the item dry fully before wearing or storing to let the protective layer set.

• Test in an inconspicuous area for colorfastness.
• Spray from a distance—don’t saturate the surface.
• Allow complete drying time before use or reapplication.

Will this spray work on hats and felt without changing the look?

Yes—Gard-More is suitable for hats and felt and is crafted to preserve appearance and hand-feel. Brushing hats before treatment helps the formula penetrate evenly, while the breathable finish prevents flattening or shine. Use sparingly and allow to dry to keep the original texture intact.

• Brush hats in a circular motion before spraying.
• Apply a light, even mist; do not drench the material.
• Dry completely to maintain shape and texture.

What kinds of stains and conditions does Gard-More protect against?

Gard-More repels a broad range of common contaminants that prematurely age leather and fabric, including water, dirt, salt, grease and light spills. It acts as a preventative layer so contaminants are less likely to penetrate fibers and set into the material. Regular use helps reduce rubbing damage and scuff visibility over time.

• Shields against rain, snow and salt exposure.
• Reduces absorption of dirt, grease and perspiration.
• Helps minimize scuffs and surface rub-off.

Is this safe for all colors and materials I own?

Gard-More is formulated for compatibility with many leathers, suede, nubuck, textiles and felt, and is presented as color-safe for routine use. Because finishing and dyes vary, a quick patch test is recommended to ensure there’s no discoloration. The silicone-free formula aims to keep materials breathable and avoid stiffening or yellowing.

• Works on leather, suede, nubuck, fabric and felt.
• Silicone-free to preserve natural breathability.
• Always test an inconspicuous area first.

Who this is for: Gard-More is ideal for anyone who wants straightforward, ongoing protection for their footwear, hats and leather goods—ranchers, commuters, outdoor enthusiasts, and owners of high-end apparel or vintage items. If you want a breathable, invisible protector that reduces stain risk and maintains material texture, this spray fits into routine care for boots, jackets, upholstery, saddles and accessories.
