saddlebags are in good condition except for the weathering and age.

Easier than Saddle Soap and works as well: GOOP Hand cleaner.
Available at Wal-Mart at $0.99 a can. NOT Go-Jo or any other brand. This stuff contains Lanolin, which will soften your leather.
Rub in a small amount to lift dirt, grime and mold. Wipe with a damp cloth to remove. Repeat if needed to remove tough dirt.
After, care for your leather in any way you want. Neatsfoot oil is good, but I haven't used it in years. Use any reliable Waterproofer that you like. I do not reccommend silicone products, because they may interfere with whatever you choose to use later.
Petroleum jelly (Vaseline) and a hairdryer are an inexpensive way to waterproof that works well. Will last months before needing to be treated again.

Saddle Soap from a Tack shop. Couple of times should do it. Then apply a light coat of leather oil.
Also, store them when not in use, inside the house, not in the garage where its either freezing or hot.

try mink oil to make the leather supple again, this not only water proofs but also replaces some of the lost oils from the hide..when you get them soft again put them in a dry area for storage

get a tin or bottle of saddle soap usually got from hardware stores and apply a good layer then leave to soak for about 24hours. if they are really bad you might have to do it again
