Hey Rustbucket,
Being from the land of cold and wet myself and being a daily rider for the last 25 years, the spray ons are a good quick fix, but there is no substitue for good-old-elbow grease. Pick up a can of saddle soap and spend an hour in front of the tube hard rubbing it into your leathers. If your stuff is dry (as you had mentioned), let them sit for a week and do it again. Dry leather will act like a spong. Gob it on, it'll absorb. The second treatment you may want to use sno-seal as this has a ton of waterproofer in it, but only use this after your initial application. I would use the sno-seal on my boots also as they tend to get beat up from raod grime, etc but are less absorbant than your jacket.
Don't be afraid to gob some on your zippers either (if metal), and then clean off. They get gummed up over time and a little lube is good for them also.
