Leatt has launched its first line of protective riding jackets, pants, boots and gloves for adventure riders.
The ADV line is made up of three product ranges: the flagship all-season Multi Tour apparel, the warm-weather Flow Tour gear and the wet-weather Dri Tour gear. All the jackets and pants include removable layers—thermal or waterproof, or both—and come with Leatt’s vented and flexible 3DF impact protection at the chest, back, shoulders, elbows, hips and knees. Select jackets are prepared with rear pockets and hose clips for adding a 1.5-liter hydration bladder. Matching boots and gloves are also in the new ADV range.
Prices have not been announced yet, but the Leatt ADV collection is expected to be on Leatt dealer floors by the end of January 2024.

Here is more from Leatt’s press release…
Cape Town, South Africa, November 2nd 2023, Leatt Corporation—the leading developer and marketer of head-to-toe protective equipment for Moto, MTB, and a wide variety of extreme and high-velocity sports, today announced the launch of their new line of ADV gear—a milestone for the South African which started with just a single, innovative product, the Neck Brace back in 2004.
The range has been designed for motorcycle enthusiasts that answer the call of adventure no matter the conditions or terrain.
The ADV line is made up of three product ranges, the flagship product being the Multi Tour gear with all season, all weather apparel. Then there is the Flow Tour gear, perfect for warmer climates and Dri Tour, essential wet weather gear. All the ranges include removable layers be it thermal or waterproof—or both. The ADV line is as adaptable as the elements themselves.
An adventure range would not be complete without an outstanding footwear proposition. The ADV HydraDri boots feature Leatt’s proprietary HydraDri Evo membrane and are designed for comfort and safety. Their versatility makes them ideal for those long exploration rides.
The gloves in the ADV range are available in a standard above-the-wrist fit or a shorter alternative. In the full range, you can find options for all weather and season variations with HydraDri membranes or X-Flow mesh uppers. Of course, here Leatt has also left their distinctive mark, incorporating their NanoGrip palms, together with CE-certified leather as well the brands lightweight, super flexible Reaflex gel knuckle protection.
Every product in the ADV apparel range makes use of Leatt 3DF impact protection and has Class AA rated certification and in most cases CE Level 2 protection, ensuring that the safety of the rider is fully considered and uncompromising.
It should be no surprise that thrill-seeking Leatt is offering a range of products to adventure riders. The South African based protection and apparel brand began their product line with just a neck brace before moving on to provide a wider suite of protection products. That led to the creation of the Leatt Moto and then MTB lines, complete head-to-toe ranges that cater to two-wheel riders across the globe. Next year the brand is going to celebrate its 20th Anniversary.
At the Leatt Lab, a testing facility on site at Leatt HQ in Cape Town, products are put through rigorous series of impact simulations to guarantee their durability. In-depth product development has been at the heart of what Leatt do since the first neck brace, a testament to their leadership and standard within the industry.
