Perhaps they are already treated with wax or silicone spray? I waterproof some leather sheaths by heating them and spreading beeswax until it gets absorbed.
See if a small spot will absorb water, a high end sling may have a good treatment done to it. |

Sounds like the leather was sealed and will need washing to remove that finish it has. Many makers do that to make leather pretty knowing almost no young users will use polish or treatments on it.

If they were drum dyed they're sealed in a way that won't really allow anything to penetrate them like vegetable tanned leather.

Dyed and sealed most likely. I would not do anything until it needs it. If you need to soften it, soak in warm water and let it dry. Then try just a tad of conditioner.

It is very well sealed. No skimping on this. I wish they were not sealed, but there are fine products nevertheless.
