Leather Saddle Bagsaddlebags saddle

I bought a pair of cheap leather saddlebags and they turn white in the rain, why?
I bought a pair of cheap leather saddle bags for my bike. When I got them outa the box they had this white powdery stuff on them. I used some leather conditioner and cleaner and it made'em smooth and black. After riding in the rain though, that white stuff if back and its all over the saddlebags. Whats up?

Favorite comedic visual?
I love in Blazing Saddles when they show Bart riding up on Rock Ridge for the first time, they show his saddlebags as "Gucci" bags. Cracks me up every time.
What are some of your favorite comedic visuals?
