Leatt is expanding its mountain bike range for the 2026 season with a new clothing line. The collection includes revised models, new colours and graphics for all MTB disciplines from downhill to endurance riding. The Elements collection consists of outerwear designed to keep riders dry and warm in adverse conditions. The revised HydraDri models offer waterproof protection with high breathability, while the new ThermaFlow models provide warmth with intelligent insulation. All fabrics and membranes used are developed in-house by Leatt to maximise performance.

Improved HydraDri technology

The HydraDri collection from Leatt has been fundamentally revised for 2026 and equipped with new materials and an improved construction. The waterproof membranes in the entire product range are now lighter and more flexible, which should increase comfort and performance. The flagship of the collection, the 6.0 jacket, features the new HydraDri Air+ technology, which offers a breathability of 70,000 g/m² - according to Leatt, the highest value tested in the bike industry. This innovation has already been honoured with the Eurobike Award for Innovation. With a water column of 15,000 mm, the Air+ membrane is specially designed for wet rides where maximum ventilation is required.

Update for the HydraDri shoe line

In addition to the jackets, trousers and monosuits, the waterproof shoes in the HydraDri line have also been completely redesigned. The new HydraDri ProFlat 7.0 BOA in black and 8.0 ProClip 8.0 BOA models with contrasting design elements now have a waterproof rating of 20,000 mm and breathability of 20,000 g/m² - twice as much as the previous models. Both boots are equipped with the BOA Li2 micro-adjustment system, which allows the fit to be fine-tuned from the outside without having to open the waterproof fastener. The high gaiter construction is retained and prevents water from entering the shoe from above when it is worn with trousers.

ThermaFlow for cold conditions

For demanding rides in low temperatures, Leatt has developed the ThermaFlow collection, which is designed to provide warmth with intelligent insulation. The range includes five different jackets, a gilet and long thermal trousers with braces.

In addition to jackets and hoodies, there is also a long bib for cold winter rides.Photo: LeattThe new ThermaFlow products with their warm fleece lining are intended for use on cold days in particular.

The team riders' favourites are the 5.0 ThermaFlow jacket and the 5.0 gilet, which have a unique 4-way stretch outer layer that is completely windproof and waterproof. Inside, a graphene-enriched fleece lining provides warmth and breathability. The blocky fleece structure creates ventilation channels to help regulate temperature and prevent overheating, while the non-laminated design maximises airflow for all-day comfort.

Leatt ThermaFlow collection:

  • Model scope: 5 jackets, 1 waistcoat, long thermal trousers with braces
  • Outer material 5.0 models: 4-way stretch, wind and waterproof
  • Inner lining: Graphene-enriched fleece
  • Special feature: Block-like fleece structure for ventilation channels

Like all garments in Leatt's 2026 collection, the Elements range uses only bluesign-certified fabrics. All hooded jackets are equipped with Leatt's patented Magnetic Hood System, which integrates three magnets into the jacket and includes a removable magnet that can be attached to the helmet. The system holds the hood in place on the back when not in use and prevents it from flapping like a parachute. In bad weather, the hood can be firmly attached to the helmet and remains in position even at high speeds.

Elements women's collection

The Elements Women's collection from Leatt offers female riders the same advanced protection and comfort as the men's models, but has been expanded to include additional models specifically tailored to fit and performance for women. The HydraDri Women's range comprises four models, including the new HydraDri 3.0 trousers, which offer complete rain protection in combination with the 3.0 jacket.

  • ThermaFlow Women's: 4 models incl. 5.0 jacket and 2.0 jacket
  • Special feature: Specially tailored to the female anatomy

The 3.0 jacket has also been redesigned for 2026 and now features new materials and improved weather resistance. For colder conditions, the ThermaFlow women's collection offers four new models, including the 5.0 jacket and the 2.0 jacket, both designed for warmth and versatility on and off the bike. The 5.0 jacket has the same advanced materials and features as the men's version, but is specifically tailored to the female anatomy.
