The 2025 apparel collection from Leatt includes new tech, spicy colours and an extended range for women. Whilst this official release from Leatt focuses on the Trail, Enduro and Gravity range – the Endurance apparel line can be seen here.


Leatt is proud to announce their 2025 MTB range

The collection includes new Trail and Enduro lines for women and feature-packed Gravity jerseys and pants that were developed with Bernard Kerr and the Pivot Factory Racing team. Another standout in the collection is the Ride Kit 1.0: a super affordable jersey-pants combo. In keeping with Leatt’s legacy in developing protection gear, the brand is introducing three new kneepads, and an all-new, maximum ventilated protection technology called FlexMesh/Pro. This lightweight, hard shell construction is included in several upper body protection kits.

All-New Apparel Lines for WOMEN

Trail

Leatt’s new Women Trail jerseys are constructed from a bluesign approved fabric called IceYarn Knit, which is a quick-drying material. The casual T-shirts and long sleeves have subtle Leatt branding, with small reflective branding on the back.

The new Women Trail shorts and pants include detachable chamois-liners, and have a lightweight, flexible fit. The stretch of the waist and back panels ensure that the shorts or pants are comfortable from the first ride.

Enduro

Also new is the Enduro pants and shorts for women. Their flexible and supportive waist construction is combined with a 3-layer waterproof and taped seat liner. The result is full freedom of movement as well as complete waterproofing, no matter how muddy the saddle gets.

The overall 4-way flex construction has an additional “DeFlextion” reinforcement in the seat area and knee section, making it comfortable and durable. Storage comes in the form of five zippered pockets, one of which is mesh.

Like the Trail range, the long and short sleeve jerseys are made from IceYarn fabric. The prints and colorways are simple and understated, and the finish is super soft for sensitive skin. With laser cut ventilation and an integrated goggle wiper, these jerseys have all the bases covered at a fair price point.


Men’s Apparel

Top-of-the-line Downhill 5.0 Models

The 5.0 Gravity models are the result of all of Leatt’s R&D knowledge, combined with the experience of Pivot Factory Racing. The 5.0 jersey uses state of the art fabric construction technologies. The sleeves are made from a combination of CoWeave and DeFlextion materials. Using a custom programmed 3D-knit, it has seamless transitions from ventilation areas into reinforcement areas. The sleeves have a tight fit, ideal for aerodynamics, while the torso section is looser to maximize freedom of movement.

The 5.0 Gravity pants also feature a CoWeave and DeFlextion seamless construction in the lower leg. The upper leg is made from a flexible, lightweight 4-way stretch fabric, while the seat area is enhanced with a bonded, waterproof liner. For a perfect fit around the waist, Leatt uses a slimline, lightweight, motocross-inspired Hypalon belt construction. Due to these advanced production techniques and the chosen high-end fabrics, these pants and jerseys are a premium product, at a premium price.

The Ride Kit 1.0: an Unbeatable Price-to-Performance Ratio

An adult or kids jersey and pants set – at a super low price. The Ride Kit 1.0 shares the fit of the high-end 5.0 Gravity kit, but makes use of more “classic” fabrics and seam stitched construction. The chosen material is bluesign® approved, flexible, breathable and fast drying. Ok, less zippers & pockets, simple moto buckle waist closure, … but still some laser-cut vent holes and goggle viper included.

This jersey-pant combo looks and feels way more expensive than it is. The cut and style, featuring minimal branding, makes it great for trail riding as well. The pants and sleeves come in a black only, and the main body comes in a choice of black, grey, brown or teal.


Protection Gear

5.0 3DF EVO Pads

Leatt’s best-selling pads have been around for 8 years now. How to make a good product even better? Make it more lightweight, improve fit and breathability. That’s it.

The latest evolution of the 5.0 features a more ventilated, ergonomic 3DF pad, with a slightly lower profile. It is constructed with DeFlextion fabric, keeping it super robust, but still light and flexible. The main sleeve construction has also been ergonomically improved. The knee pad comes in three versions: a full-sleeve knee pad, a FastFit open construction knee pad (no need to take the shoes off), and a knee-shin pad combo.

Improved Ventilation: FlexMesh & FlexMesh Pro

Leatt’s 2025 MTB range offers six new upper body protectors, including Chest and Backs only. The biggest change has been made to the damping material and its construction, with the introduction of FlexMesh (single density) and FlexMesh Pro (dual density) padding, a 3D mesh construction. Traditional damping material is heavy and bulky,and has small ventilation holes. Conversely, FlexMesh holes are bigger than the damping material itself, maximizing ventilation and bringing the weight down by 11%. Flex joints allow for 3D flexing and a comfortable fit. The hard shells covering the FlexMesh pads are also fully vented, and are available in black and white color options.
